Trouble Updating Console.device with Spatch
« on: March 02, 2007, 04:56:55 PM »
I've been installing the OS3.9 updates that are on the Amikit site and I have most of them done.  I am having trouble with the Console.device patch.  If somebody has done this one could they give me a quick how to.  I'm not really sure where it is at to spatch the update.  The included docs are confusing me.  In Scout I see it is in the system but I can't find it on my system partition.  I think there is something going on that I don't understand.  I have all of the updates done except for this one, the shell one (I haven't gotten to it yet), and the Ram-Handler one (I am using Amber Ram so I don't need it).  Help Please!!!  Thanks,   Dan :-?

First, you have to extract the console.device from the "AmigaOS ROM Update" file (installed by BoingBag2):

ExtractModule FROM "DEVS:AmigaOS ROM Update" Module 18 TO SYS:Devs/console.device.bak

Then use the following command to patch it:

spatch -oSYS:Devs/console.device -pRAM:patch/console.pch SYS:Devs/console.device.bak

(ExtractModule is part of LoadModule proggie)

Then use the following command in your startup-sequence:

C:LoadModule DEVS:console.device NOREBOOT

and don't forget to tell SetPatch to skip loading the module from "AmigaOS ROM Update" because the LoadModule already did it:

SetPatch SKIPROMMODULES console.device QUIET


You can use more modules with LoadModule, this is what I have in my startup-sequence:

C:LoadModule L:Ram-Handler L:Shell-Seg LIBS:icon.library LIBS:workbench.library LIBS:mathieeesingbas.library DEVS:console.device REVERSE NOREBOOT

SetPatch SKIPROMMODULES ram-handler,shell,console.device,scsi.device QUIET
