Hi guys,
Just received my BigRam+ 256MB card, and enthusiastically installed it in my A3000D (68030-25Mhz unmodified other than Buster11 and latest Scsi module, 8MB onboard zip DRam) with superkickstart 3.2.1 and AmigaOs 3.2.1 freshly installed.
Boots fine without the BigRam+ card in.
With the BigRam+ installed (in any zIII slot), my startup sequence freezes on the SetPatch command early on.
If I skip SetPatch (in trace mode), the amiga boots up ok and the memory shows up fine!
Although I get a warning om the command Cpu CHECKINSTALL a few steps later in the startup sequence, that says "the 68030 library is missing, leading to instability and caching issues".
If I type CPU in a shell after boot, it shows the processor as 68030 68882... (with no mention of MMU)
Setpatch is the latest one installed by the 3.2.1 installer I suspect, v47.5 - and it lists a few things like the 68030 support code which could explain why it complains about missing lib and MMU? (odd, as I have the 68030 library in LIBS:)
Otherwise seems stable, copied like 200MB from DH0: to Ram: with no problem.
So the card hardware-wise seems ok, and compatible with my 8MB zip Ram on motherboard? (no mix with static column or anything like that)
If I remove the BigRam+ card, Amiga starts up as usual again, and setpatch loads fine, Cpu checkinstall has no warning, and if I type CPU I get the full 68030 68882 68030-MMU.
Any ideas?
Do I really need Setpatch with such recent Roms installed? (3.2.1)
And if not, how to enable MMU/remove this cpu checkinstall worrying warning? (knowing I do have a 68030 library in the LIBS folder, not sure why it complains there isn't)
Cheers!
