Network Failure With Latest Boot (5.30)

After installing the latest Boot (5.30) from ROOL’s HardDisc4 via InSituBootUpdate the machine fails to boot correctly with the Network > Configuration window displayed unexpectedly. Clicking Save continues booting but then follows a message File ’ShareFSWindow’ not found. Desktop is entered but no ShareFS icons appear on iconbar.

In desktop regular cycling of the Hourglass occurs. Where do I go from here please?

Raspberry Pi model 2B / RISC OS 5.28 (10-Feb-22) / Internet software: 5.95 (07-Apr-2022)

Did you have the ROD network stack installed before the update?
If so, remove that and see if it then boots ok.
If you are sure that is all ok, you could then try re-installing the ROD stack.

No, not on this machine. Although its the reverse of your suggestion I’ll install the ROD stack and see what happens – the problem almost certainly is a stack issue and installing it might sort this problem. Thanks for your quick response.

Installing ROD stack has got it working. At first it didn’t but I vaguely remember that the Ethernet on older R-Pi models works through the USB. I went into Interfaces under Configuration > Network > Internet and the “Ethenet over USB” was not set. Once set and applied all my shares appeared on the iconbar – horrah!! I haven’t seen any reports but are you aware of issues with the ROOL stack working with the recent RO5.30 Boot program?

The only issue I remember for using the OS 5.30 boot with an OS 5.28 ROM is that saving pinboard config could add a new option not available in 5.28 causing the boot sequence to fail.
