loadmodule requires OS 3.5 or 3.9 to work...

LoadModule.readme says:

Requires: OS 2.04, 3.5 or 3.9 recommended, possibly MuProtectModules.lha

Or you can use loadresident from remapollo (Aminet too).

Didn't mention OS 3.1, should I be concerned? That said, I'll try it anyway this evening...

"Requires: OS 2.04" means that 2.04 is the minimum OS version required to run the programm. So it will work also on 3.0 and 3.1 and later. Alternative you can use LoadResident as gulliver mentioned.

I will try with LoadResident... LoadModule didn't work for me.

I typed in an amigashell:

Quote:

version scsi.device
scsi.device version 40.3
loadmodule devs:scsi.device noreboot
version scsi.device
scsi.device version 40.3
version devs:scsi.device
scsi.device version 43.47

I assume it didn't work... the above was reproduced from memory...

Will try loadresident next (sorry gulliver, missed your post as I was using tapatalk on my phone). Will report back soon... please bear with this newbie

Doesn't scsi.device require a reboot?

I never used loadmodule though. I always used blizkick.

daxb · 14 August 2014, 18:22

As far as I know "version scsi.device" will show the ROM version. Use Scout f.e. to check which version is currently running. If you may use a SetPatch version from OS3.5+ take care that SetPatch doesn`t patch scsi.device twice.

With the reboot, I get guru meditation...

ajack · 14 August 2014, 21:04

Update!

LoadResident also gives a guru meditation (during reboot) error. The command I used was:

loadresident devs:scsi.device reboot

Something that concerns me also is the fact that I decided to give up and use up the first ~7.8GB of my 16GB CF card. Installed WB 3.1 (with BetterWB 3.6) into a 512MB DH0 FFS partition and the rest as a DH1 PFS3 partition.

After a quick format of DH1, I decided to run the pfsdoctor tool on it. When I ran pfsdoctor, I get a warning message that it could not verify over the 4GB barrier (recalling from memory, not sure exact words) and suggest I do not proceed with pfsdoctor.

Should I be concerned?

@Gulliver:

I am not sure how to get an updated scsi.device working on my setup. Both LoadModule and LoadResident both restarts (I assume the restart is required to load the scsi.device into memory) and gives me a Guru Meditation error.

Re-running pfsdoctor did not reproduce the 4GB barrier error message, not sure if the program flagged about the warning or the message was a one off glitch.

I will now keep my 16GB CF card until a solution present itself to get this working on an Amiga 500 with Kipper2k's a508ide kit.

@Gulliver:

Can you please update WhichAmiga to latest v1.3.3 from Aminet? The current version will hang my A1200 with ACA1232/25 installed.

I will update it with the v1.3.3 user Modrobert built and presented here in EAB (which has support for ACA accelerators).

Of course, first I need to get some time. Life is getting constantly in the way of the next update

Yes, life tends to get in the way of everything... We'll wait...
