5.29 Boot and Configuration Problems

I’ve just installed RISC OS 5.28 on a micro SD card but I’m having problems configuring a couple of things. |

Typo: heading should say 5.28 Boot & Configuration Problems of course! |

The installation instructions assume you’ll be running everything from an SD card. As you were doing an upgrade not a fresh install, you may have ended up with two !Boot directories: a 5.28 version on the SD card and an earlier version (e.g. 5.24) on the SCSI drive. While a new HardDisc4 with an old ROM should work, trying to use an old HardDisc4 with a new ROM is a recipe for disaster. Did you actually upgrade !Boot on your SCSI drive? There’s an InSituBootUpdate file in the HardDisc4 archive that does it for you. |

Thank you Stuart, that fixed the problems! I’m very grateful to you. Funny, but I don’t think I used InSituBootUpdate the last time I changed from one version to another, I seem to remember just updating everything by hand. Maybe I just got lucky but next time I’ll know better. Many thanks again. |
