Help! Fresh OS3.9 install malfunctioning...

[Karlos]

Blimey. Absolutely nothing suggested in this thread so far has worked.

I cant even boot from a 3.5 to run the 3.9 boing bag installer over the 3.9 partition since the installer thinks I am attempting to install over 3.5 ;-)

Somehow, my configutation simply does not get on with OS3.9.

This is becoming a real nusiance. I never expected OS3.9 to be such an a*se.

Random things left to try

1) install under UAE and archive installation to a CD for extraction to DH2:

2) 'swapping' partitions to make the 3.9 install on 'DH0:' in case that makes a difference (no idea why it should)

3) Removing one of the 128M SIMMs in case for some odd reason that makes a difference (no idea why it should).

This is fast becoming a farce...

I think I had similar problems.  I simply made a double check and found that some files were missing from my installed OS compared to the CD. I think they all were missing from Classes, perhaps Classes/gadgets. After a copy per hand everything began to work. Perhaps a protection flag gone haywire or sun spots...
