Installing Intuition v45 in 3.1.4 issue

[bitter]

I'm trying to use the new intuition library in 3.1.4. Copied the new library into LIBS:, copied LoadModule into C:, and modified S-S to do LoadModule ROMUPDATE unconditionally. Unfortunately I keep getting the following bootup error:

filesystem version 46 already resident
Loading filesystem failed: object already exists

Not sure how to stop this...

[McTrinsic]

You can try to add the option "downgrade" to loadmodule.


Question is, though, where the double filesystem comes from.

[thomas]

If intuition.library is the only module you want to load you can specify it explicitly:

C:LoadModule Libs:intuition.library

[desiv]

Didn't I read that this can happen if you don't copy with the CLONE option to maintain the protection bits, etc? Not sure, but that sounds familiar.

[bitter]

Ok, I copied with clone option, and also tried loading the library by itself with loadmodule. No go - I get a black screen now.

Not sure if it's a conflict with something...

[kolla]

It needs the pure bit set, protect +p.

[bitter]

The CLONE option does preserve the Pure bit, but I did verify just to make sure, and indeed, intuition.library has p and r bits set.

Have you tried

c:loadmodule libs:intuition.library nomemfkick reverse

It should work without those switches but doesn't hurt to try.

Start of my s-s is only

c:blizzkick (with appropiate parameters, remove if not necessary or using something else to softkick)
c:loadmodule libs:intuition.library nomemfkick reverse

c:setpatch quiet

And standard from there on. Well, standard as far as kickstart-modules are concerned anyway.

[bitter]

Thanks, unfortunately no luck - same black screen.

My S-S starts with:

ACAmapROM L:kick.a1200.46.143 Q
C:LoadModule libs:intuition.library nomemfkick reverse

I think I'm ready to give up, don't understand why this is not working...

[McTrinsic]

Things you could try:
- check presence of intuition.library
- check spelling issues / naming issues
- use full names, not assigns. I.e. dh0:libs/intuition.library

Has it been re-kicked properly at all? I mean, you're trying to load the kickstart file from l: which is an unusual place to put kickstart-images. Of course it can be there, just to make sure it is not a silly typo/path-error in the ACAmapROM line.

[bitter]

Library is present, and all spelling is correct. I get an error message if LoadModule can't actually find the library. Blank screen only if the path and library are correct.

I put the 3.1.4 Kickstart in L: because I couldn't think of a better place, and it's definitely working, it won't boot without it.

For completeness, I'm using:

A1200
Indivision AGA MK2cr / NTSC Interlaced 8 color mode
ACA1221ec
HD PS

[kolla]

"normal" location for kickstarts seems to be DEVS:Kickstarts, not that it should matter

[bitter]

OK, I did a clean-install of 3.1.4 on a new CF card. Still the same issue...

I did notice that the last step of the installation, when you are asked to re-insert Install disk, it copies workbench.library, icon.library, and fastfilesystem, all files that have p bit set, and which is why LoadModule ROMUPDATE fails. Just an FYI...

And yes, I moved the ROM to the "proper" location

[PeterK]

Yes, I also had to realize in another thread at A1k.org that "LoadModule ROMUPDATE" needs the PURE-Bits to be set correctly to load any libraries, like iconlib too, or you may end up with your (3.1) ROM based libraries loaded, which won't work correctly.

[desiv]

That's just weird. My clean install in WinUAE just worked when I enabled the new intuition.... Hmmmm

[VectrexRoli]

Was there any solution to this? Having exaxctly the same issue with my Amiga 4000 using OS 3.1.4 ROMs. Also get the error message "filesystem version 46 already resident".
Also C:LoadModule Libs:intuition.library did not help, then the computer is rebooting over and over again.
Could not find much about that issue using Google.

* How do I install the V45 intuition.library?

1. For the ROM-based installation process, you first need to copy the
new system component to your system. For that, insert any of the
modules disks into the first disk drive, then select "Execute
command" from the Workbench menu, and enter the following command:

copy df0:libs/intuition-v45.library to LIBS:intuition.library clone

2. In case you installed from a physical 3.1.4. ROM, LoadModule
has to be installed manually. For that, download the archive

http://aminet.net/util/boot/LoadModule.lha

from Aminet and copy the LoadModule command from this archive into
the C directory of your boot disk.

3. The Startup-sequence of your system requires a modification. To
perform this installation, select "Execute command" once more from
the Workbench menu, and enter the following command:

Ed S:Startup-sequence

A window containing the startup script of your system will open. The
first lines on the screen should read as follows:

If Exists C:LoadModule
C:Version exec.library version 46 >NIL:
If Warn
C:LoadModule ROMUPDATE
EndIf
EndIf

Replace them with the following:

If Exists C:LoadModule
C:LoadModule Libs:intuition.library
EndIf

Then save the result back to disk by pressing the ESC key, then the X
key, then press return. Then reboot.

Thanks a lot, I did try that already, the probelm is, it does not work as described.

This one has been modified from the one in the public FAQ.

The issue is the "p" bit set when using a physical rom, which ends causing Loadmodule to attempt to load modules which are already in rom. So remove the "p" bit on your hard drive´s files which display the error.
