English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Amiga 500 not loading Workbench environment

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I seem to have the same problem.

I have installed the 3.X ROM and try to load AmigaOS 3.1.4 (booting from a CF card, using the HC508), but the Workbench stays empty.

I booted without a startup-sequence and discovered that a "workbench.library" file is present in the Workbench:/Libs/ directory, so I'm a bit confused why it does not work.

Any hints are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edited to add: I figured it out. I was missing LoadModule. I downloaded that from aminet, placed it in the right directory, and have a functioning Workbench now! :-D
