I 'spect he's been @ that Brazilian Grog again! :nod:

Anyways, there is the latest setpatch I can find for OS3.1 here - Version 43.6b.

You can also access all the Official OS3.5 & 3.9 downlads there too.

[rkauer]

LOL rkauer :jester:

He's using OS3.9.....

@ davideo

....if it ain't broke m8, don't fix it. int:

& again @ Marcb

Be sure to use the latest SetPatch available for OS3.1 & if you're running anything over an 040 Processor, you'll need the exact .librarys for 060 as hosted by A1k.org

It's all a bit different for OS3.5 & slightly enhanced under OS3.9 :-D

Kin

At least two of us are awake :jester:

I haven't got a problem with my WE I was just trying to help MarcB with his setup

Dave G

I was referring to Marcb's Setpatch, not Davideo's. OK, I officially quit grog. Where's my beer?int:

 

[Marcb]

oh:

Thought I'd have a quick go on it this morning before leaving for work...

Crashed on me again , it throws up a requester telling me Program C:Version failed and then I reboot and get a guru...

Looks like I celebrated too soon! :banghead:


Thanks for the links, info and the version numbers guys, I'll be damned if I let this WE beat me!!!

@ Marcb

Boot with a copy of your 3.1 floppy & replace the SetPatch file on your hard drive that way. (It's in your C: directory btw )
Hopefully, you already have the relevant 040 libs in place. - If not, get these installed on your Boot partition at the same time you do the SetPatch file. If you need to run an 040 Library installer, in a CLI type:
Assign SYS: to (Your HD Boot Partition name)
When you reboot from this, shut her down for 30 seconds & give her a cold boot. Do us a favour too please Marc. - Copy your Startup-sequence & user start-up & paste em in here.

Speak to you later,

Kin

Hi Kin,

I've tried a few things:

I downloaded the latest setpatch from your link and installed it, copied the 68040.library from the WE disk to my libs: and cold booted with the same result as before..

As you suggested, I then booted from my wb floppy and copied setpatch from it to my hd:c and again cold booted to the same error...

I've removed all simms from the motherboard slots and still the same error..

I've removed the buddha, same error.

I've removed the Deneb, same error.

I've set the rom speed to alternate speeds and still same error..

I copied the startup-sequence from the wb floppy to the hd and still the same error...

This morning when I first booted up I had no error, after a reset though the error came up again..

I've removed the 68040.libray and boots every time without fail...

Maybe there is something amiss with the WE?

I've commented out the wireless-startup and PsdStackloader lines in both and tried booting but didn't seem to help...

You mention a 68040.libray installer, I haven't got one of those, I was just copying the 68040.libray from other disk or downloading from Aminet?

Cheers for your help!

@davideo
I have my jumpers set up as yours, I have 128mb made up of 4x32mb 50ns simms..

The recommended SIM speeds are 60ns at 40MHz, 70ns at 33MHz or 80ns at 28MHz.

The manual says "If you're using slower SIMs you should set a wait state by setting jumper D on"

Just a thought - have you tried that?

Dave G

 

[Marcb]

Cheers davideo, worth a shot...


Just tried it, still same silly error :

c:Version
Program failed (error #80000003)
Wait for Disk activity to finish

 

[Templar]

That's an address error.

 

[Marcb]

@Phantom

I looked it up and it says:

deadend alert

Attempt to read/write a word or longword not evenly aligned.. 68000/68010 only...

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------

Strangely enough I hdn't thought to comment out the "Version" command in the startup and user startups...

Have done so now and I'm cold booting & warm booting without any crashes

So... presumably I have a dud "version" that doesn't like mmu's ?

 

[Kin Hell]

So let me get this right. - Your rem-out this: ; $VER: startup-sequence 39.9 (9.8.92)

....and it's now not crashing?

Kin

 

[Marcb]

Nahh... A little bit further up:

C:Version >Nil:

I've since replaced the old Version exe with one from OS3.5 and no more crashes!

Of course that isn't the end of it, I'm currently restoring 2 partitions that got checksum errors during all the crashing oh:

 

[Kin Hell]

Thank crikey for that. Looking at your Startup sequence back there, any particular reason why "Assign >NIL: Dopus: Apps:diropus" isn't in your user-starup saying "Assign Dopus: Apps:diropus" ?

Kin

 

[Marcb]

Well, I've never noticed that before...

Assign doesn't output anything so the >Nil: bit is redundant, I reckon I must have put it in there though because I doubt the installer would have...

My failing with all this is that I've always used bits and pieces from my old miggys whenever I've bought a new one, I used to run a BBS on my 500 and I remember when I bought the 1200 I copied a lot of my C dir etc. straight across because I'm lazy...

I usually restore my 1200's HDs into any new miggys I buy now so that brings with it problems like what I'm having:nuts:

 

[Kin Hell]

First of all Marc, get rid of the Dopus assign in the Startup-sequence & drop it into the user-startup. You could Rem it & then copy/paste without Rem to user-startup. Dopus doesn't need the >NIL bit though. Just "Assign Dopus: Your-path"

Then make sure which 040 Libraries are installed & that they are installed correctly. There's a lot of confusion over which libs should be where & it's an entirely different can of Worms for an 060. The link I mentioned earlier should install the required libraries for an 040 card, irrespective of card make.

Kin

 

[Marcb]

Thanks again Kin, I've done as you suggested and all is well with the miggy for a few days now...

I was having some problems with whdload games no longer working but I spotted a thread on eab regarding the poseidon stack and whdload,
now I stop the stack before running a game and I have no more probs

I'm back to work on a small game inspired (well, copied then ) from a popular pc game and relearning Amos in the process so I'm pretty happy with the miggy at the moment!

 

[Kin Hell]

Good stuff Marc & well done.
