Strange error
Recently I bought a PPC card again for my A1200. Wanted to install not only OS4, but OS3.x as well, but failed, although I tried many different ways.
1. Had an old archived PPCSys used way back in 1998-2000 when had the first PPC card. It doesn't work properly, crashes while boots up. 2. Tried AmigaSYS4, but also failed, if system starts, many commodities/apps freezes, no serious apps can be used. 3. Tried AmigaSYS3+ as well, same result. random crashes, guru meditation, etc. When my third try failed I decided to dig into the whole thing more seriously, but have not so much time, so... BTW, both AmigaSYS can boot only if I replace the Setpatch from it with the original from WB3.0. System halts in different forms randomly, sometimes totally freezes. not just with the typical Suspend/Reboot requester. Newer setpatch I can use only if the machine has boot without Startup Sequence. With the same the system only freezes normally. no Blizkick, OxyPatcher etc. before the Setpatch. Any ideas? thx, Reynolds |

Make sure you install the appropiate processor drivers. And use the latest version of SetPatch only.
If your PPC card has a 68060, you need to replace 68040.library by the dummy version which is only ~80 bytes and you need 68060.library which is ~100 KB. If your PPC card has a 68040, you need to replace 68040.library by the new version which is ~80 KB. Get the system disk which contains the libs here: http://powerup.amigaworld.de/index.php?lang=en&page=13 To use the PPC you also have to install the PPC drivers. Do not use the ones on the system disk but rather install WarpUP and PPCLibEmu. Also a flash ROM update is a good idea. Using new libs with an old ROM or vice versa might lead to crashes, too. |
