Pulling hair with OS3.9 BoingBag 2
« on: May 13, 2009, 07:10:08 PM »
Ok, have this problem on _two_ machines now, so I presume there is a universal fix:

I installed OS3.9 on a new hard drive and put it in my Amiga(s) (the other one an A1200 with Blizzard A1260, the other an A4000 with CSPPC/060). And just to be clear, these are two separate hard drives, not the same one.

Everything more or less worked. I updated to BoingBag 1, everything more or less worked. I updated to BoingBag 2 and installed the ROM update -> all went haywire. The machines keep booting themselves over and over again with slightly different gurus.

If I comment out Setpatch, I get a booting system that is... stuck in the Stone Age. I tried renaming the latest ROM update file to something else, and still no dice. What to do here?

I did install the latest Blizzard libraries from phase5.a1k.org, but are they overwritten when BB2 installs? I have the installers on my larger HD partition, which I cannot access since the pre-Setpatch Miggy only sees the first 1 GB.

Try adding the  NOROMUPDATE option to setpatch.

Like this:
"Setpatch NoRomUpdate".

Edit:
If you still have problems, try copying setpatch and the romupdate from the OS3.9 CD.

Try to lower your max transfer to 0x0001FE00, that will help to stop the guru's.

You can change it with HDtoolbox.

I also had this problem when I was using a Blizzard 1260.

@Mikko_PKP

That's a bug in scsi.device ver 43.43 (3.9 BB2). Use SCSI4345p.lha from aminet.. this will fix your problems.

How do you pull hair with the software?  I would've thought you'd need some hardware eg the CD case

By the time you spend hours on end looking at gurus, the hair will pull itself.

Did you install OS3.9 using the Emergency Disk?

Actually did it both ways. For one HD I went from 3.1 upwards using UAE, for the other, I went straight to 3.9 from the Emergency Disk. I installed SFS, partitioned & installed the basic OS on UAE but everything else (including said BoingBags) in the real Amiga.

I did the scsi.device patch, and WOW! The A1200 now works. I'll proceed to tinkering with the A4000 later.

Thanks!

Will SCSI4345p.lha also work with XSurf, CatWeasel and Buddah?

No, it's a patch for OS 3.9 BB2 scsi.device ONLY (version 43.43).

Okay, these cards doesn't like the BB2 scsi device, under OS3.1 they are known as 2nd.scsi.device :)I hoped they played nice with this one :)
