I am trying to bring up the 2.02 beta OS on my A2000. If I boot up
on the stock workbench floppy, the system comes up (it doesn't know
about the hard disk). I copied the hard disk driver (supplied by
GVP with it's IMPACT A2000 SCSI Plus 8 controller board) into the
floppy's expansion directory. Now when I boot up, I hear the hard
disk make a short bit of access noise, then I get a "task held"
requestor! Any ideas? The startup-sequence does a "binddrivers"
call. Do I need a different version of the scsi GVP driver??
I am using ZKICK to install the kickstart...
System: A2000, 1.2 ROMS, 5 Meg RAM, GVP controller, Rodime 205 Meg
hard disk, Developer PreRelease 9/17/90 2.02 (36.77).
BTW, the system works just fine with 1.3...
Please EMAIL any suggestions and/or comments. Thanks in advance.

According to Bryce, it's fixed in KS 36.206 and above. Temporary patch: Set ExpansionBase->lib_Revision to 61 or below before calling "BindDrivers". Ralph
