Bug In SAGA2.2.1 for V500 V2+

Hello,
  i used a long time SAGA1.7.1 without any problems. Then i updated to SAGA 2.0.1 and if i use vcontrol to use maprom and turtle mode to use kick1.3 then the amiga restarts, crash with an guru meditation and after another reset i can use kick1.3.
 
  With SAGA2.2.1 it isn't possible anymore to use maprom and kick1.3 with turtle mode on. The machine ends in a loop of resets. I tried different commands like VB 1, VB 0, ID 0 but nothing works.
 
  So i changed back to SAGA2.0.1
 
  It isn't perfect but better then 2.2.1. I think i will go back to 1.7.1. Was the best in my opinion.
 
  I use this command:
 
  vcontrol TU 1 MR devs/kickstarts/kick13.rom
 
 
  My System:
 
  A500 Rev. 6A
  V500 v2.2
  Core 2.12 x12
  Coffin r54

Edit:
Since the command VS was removed, the vcontrol don't work with maprom and Turtle Mode correct anymore.

I have to withdraw my last post. i found the solution for the problem.
   
First i thought it was the new vcontrol but i found out now, that the BooBip 2MB Ram Expansion with Gary-Adapter was the problem.
   
After i removed it and put in a normal 512kb expansion all works fine now.
   
Sorry for that.
Please close this thread.
Thanks.
