AmigaOS 3.2 not working correctly

I made a fresh HDF with FFS and installed AmigaOS 3.2 from the CD Image on WinUAE. Install works perfectly on the emulator.

Tranfered the HDF to MiSTer. It boots but stops before starting the WB with the error „invalid object lock. MakeLink failed returncode 20“. LoadWB also does not work „invalid resident library“.

When using the new 3.2 kickstart ROM I get a guru mediation. So using 3.1.

After some hours of trying different things I noticed that AmigaOS 3.2 only works correctly when installing it on MiSTer and not doing the whole process on WinUAE.

I used an empty HDF to copy over the install CD, renamed it to the same name as the CD and inserted a second empty HDF in the second harddisk slot. With that config the installation worked.

Thank you!

Somethin weird happened on my first working install: Amiga OS 3.2 boots perfectly. But after I switched the MiSTer off and on again after a while and booting the newly created harddisk, it again stops booting with the same errors as mentioned in the first post. But it worked at first boot!

I found the solution: After installing AmigaOS 3.2 with a specific Kickstart you must not change the Kickstart - otherwise it damages the WB 3.2 installation. No idea why but if you set up AmigaOS 3.2 with Kickstart 3.2 - stick with this combination!

3.2 has soft ROM modules on disk. It will only install these if you install it with an earlier ROM. Hence if you boot later without a 3.2 ROM you don't get the new modules (so some things won't work).
If you want to do that you need to install it with a 3.1 ROM. It won't matter if you put in a 3.2 ROM later, the disk based modules will be ignored in that case.

Thanx for the info! I’ll stick with Kickstart 3.2.

The 3.2.2 update has adf files you can mount normally from what I remember.

Just extract the lha in Windows/Mac/Linux and copy them to the Amiga folder for mounting.

With 3.2(.2) you can even boot from the AmigaOS 3.2 CD by chaging the boot device using early startup
