Home F.A.Q. AmigaOS 3.1.4 Upgrading via disk-based installation did not work for me!

Upgrading via disk-based installation did not work for me!

You installed manually, right? Well, in that case, chances are that the file permissions are wrong. It is important that the files containing the replacement ROM components have their "p" bit set, which stands for "pure".


You can now do the following two things:


  1. Copy all the files from the modules disk fitting to your Amiga model again, making sure that the "P" bit is set this time, for example by using:


copy ... TO ... CLONE


instead of just "COPY", or, as a workaround,


  1. Edit the Startup-sequence of your installation and replace


C:LoadModule ROMUPDATE


with


C:LoadModule AUTO


which will ignore the "P" bit. As a side effect, it may probably pull some modules into RAM that you wouldn’t expect.
