Hi, Wayne… thanks for replying & trying to help, looks like I'm going to
need some! <g> I tried a few things, and here's what I found:
1) Booted with WB 1.3 floppy. WB V34.34, SetPatch V1.38 Installed; no
patch list. Booted Fine.
2) Booted with WB 2.04 floppy, WB V37.67, SetPatch V37.10. Booted,
installed fine. PatchList: Enabled Data Cache.
3) Boot with WB 2.04 floppy, with SetPatch V37.38. System crashes. Exactly
the same as the 3.1 floppy.
4) Boot with WB 3.1 floppy, SetPatch V40.14 crashes, V40.16 crashes.
5) Boot from HD, WB 3.1, SetPatch V40.16 System Crashes.
So, it seems any SetPatch higher than V37.10 crashes my system… if only
I knew what these newer setpaches are looking at!
I ran SCRAM before installation (weeks before) to check my system. The
only modifcations I made were:
1) Set SCSI timeout to 2 seconds (based on another person's recomendation)
2) Enabled SYNC SCSI transfers (I put that back to OFF, no change)
Here is what SCRAM is showing for infos:
Motherboard: CPU:68030 FPU:68882
Ramsey: Normal, Code $0d, Page Detect OFF, Burst Mode ON, Wrap Mode OFF.
Gary: Normal, Code $00, Timeout:ON Mode:BERR
Agnus: ECS NTSC 8372 Code $30
Denise: ECS Code $fc
Ram Chips: 1×4, Refresh rate:238 clocks Type:Page Chip:2M, Fast:4M.
BattMem Status: SCSI Timeout:2 Sec LUNs:Only 0 SyncXfer:OFF HostID:Unit6
"Amnesias": Amiga bits OK Shared bits OK
That last entry "Amnesias" originally came up "LOST", meaning the memory
lost power & default settings. I manually revived them by clicking on the
gadget.
My System is a vanilla A3000/25, no boards, single 50 Meg Quantum ProDrive
HD, one floppy.
Does anything here look odd?
