Purple screen of Death, Boing Bag 2
« on: December 17, 2009, 04:39:47 PM »
Hi, I just tried to update my A1200 with Boing Bag 2, 3.9.  I did push the button that asked if I wanted to update my rom.  Now when I start my Amiga I get a purple screen and nothing else.  I can still boot into 3.1 floppy.  Is there someway for me to back out of this?
Thanks.

Had the same thing with my a1200 with microbotics 1230xa accellerator.
 
I had to skip exec.library from the romupdate.
 
Change the setpatch line in startup-sequence to the following:
SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "exec.library". Edit: If you already skip scsi.device, change it to: SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "exec.library,scsi.device".

Thanks for the help, this makes sense.  But I am loading Squirrel SCSI and it calls out the SetPatch in that upload.  I have fiddled with it a bit, but that seems to have worked!
Question, am I losing something by making this call?  Can't I just replace the file with a fresh one?  Thanks again!!

With the squirrel, you have to place SquirrelSCSI command before setpatch.
