A600 with Vampire and AmigaOS 3.1.4 Does Not Reboot
Hi all!
I looked at several places but could not find a solution to my silly problem: I have a A600 with a Vampire and AmigaOS 3.1.4 (i.e., with C:VampireMap314 Devs:... in my Startup-Sequence) and... it does not reboot! It boots fine and runs fines but when, once in a while, I want to reboot it, it freezes with the Vampire logo displayed on the screen. I tried the key combination as well as one reboot program... Any idea? Best, |

Reflash Gold 2.11 core (check that is has Pseudo-fast RAM at C00000):
http://apollo-accelerators.com/files...211-V600V2.lha Download the VampireMAP tool: http://www.apollo-accelerators.com/f...mpireTools.lha Copy your 314 kick.a1200 to Devs:Kickstarts -folder. Modify beginning of your startup-sequence: Code:
Version expansion.library 45 If WARN C:VampireMap314 Devs:Kickstarts/kick.a1200 EndIf http://wiki.apollo-accelerators.com/doku.php/amigaos314 |

Hi Shk!
Thanks for the reply... I'm already at Gold 2.11 and already with the ROM and libraries... Should I "reflash"? (How can I force the program to reflash?) Best, Last edited by tygre; 15 November 2018 at 22:20. Reason: Fixed typo! |

If sys:tools/showconfig says that you have Pseudo-fast RAM at C00000, you are good and no need for reflash then. Otherwise you need to go back older core first and then flash again the current core. Or you can use directly the JIC file with USB Blaster.

This looks good, your core is the latest one!
If you run from the CLI: Code:
VampireMap314 kick.a1200 |

Uh, I'm confused : running the command actually reset the Amiga I thought that it would know that the Kickstart has already been mapped? Or am I missing something?
So, it reset the Amiga and as usual it freezes with the Vampire logo displayed... What is happening? |

Yes, absolutely!
This is the boot sequence from a cold start: - Switch on PSU - Display shows the nice Vampire lady (big image) - Amiga starts Startup-Sequence - Amiga reboots (because of VampireMAP (?)) - Display shows small Vampire logo - Amiga starts (again) Startup-Sequence - Display shows the Workbench At this point, my Amiga works great But this is also the point where a reboot will show the small Vampire logo and nothing else happens... |

Small Vampire bat logo indicates that you have 3.1.4 kick inside. It's like this script is not working in your startup-sequence:
Code:
Version expansion.library 45 If WARN C:VampireMap314 Devs:Kickstarts/kick.a1200 EndIf If you can get Early-Startup -> CLI under kick 3.1.4 you could consider to flash 314 permanently with the VampireFlash314. Then this VampireMap script is not needed anymore. And if you want to, you can flash later back to the original core, if this Early-Startup -> CLI works under kick 3.1.4 |

Yes, that could well be although, from a Shell:

If I flash my Vampire... could I run into the same problem? |

I assume that you have installed Workbench 3.1.4. If you flash 314 kick to Vampire, this script is not needed anymore on startup-sequence. VampireFlash314 is needed to run only once from the CLI. But make sure before flashing that you can access to the CLI under 3.1.4 kick, otherwise if something goes wrong, you will need USB Blaster to flash back working core.

Hi ShK!
So, I played a bit more with my A600 and here are two things: - I can go into Boot Menu before or after the ROM has been mapped - After the ROM has been mapped, I can go into a CLI (booting with no Startup-Sequence) and reboot fine - After the Workbench is loaded, if I reboot, my Amiga freezes Strange, no? It seems that a reboot will freeze only if the Workbench is loaded (or some other commands in between the ROM mapping and the Workbench...) |

Hi ShK and all!
So, I flashed (successfully!) my A600 with the 3.1.4 and... got exactly the same behaviour (minus the extra reboot after a cold start) Knowing at this point that neither the Vampire nor the 3.1.4 were involved, I downloaded a different reboot program, ColdReboot, and now I can reboot just fine Still, the root cause baffles me... However, if a kind moderator could change the title to [SOLVER], please Thanks ShK! Best, |

Hi ShK!
My deepest apologies for not replying to your last post, somehow I completely lost track of this thread After a long hiatus, I went back to my Vampirised A600 and got all things working (even the Ethernet! Most of the time ) except for the reboot. When using a reboot command with the COLD parameter, my Amiga reboots fine...but with the WARM parameter, I get a requester warning me of a Guru and then no reboot at all. When using the keyboard, my A600 hangs on the Vampire splash screen. This could be because of the ROM that I flashed/mapped? Maybe I should flash the original A600 ROM? Cheers! |
