 Everything seems to be correct, except that is should not stop booting :)
Ok, try to disable the cache by commenting out the "cacr=xxx" line in
mmusetup.cnf.

 But before doing anything, actually, try running splitram.prg!! Run this
as the 1st program in your autofolder, and see if that makes a diff. I've
not tried using MP witout this program, as I know latest 1.15.1 don't like
only ST-RAM without MP.

 Oh.. remove HADES_B4.ACC!! Don't run that with SET_MMU, as they both do
the same thing, only HADES_B4.ACC does not install a complete tree, and it
is installed to late for MiNT to use it. I know, you really need it to
change the _MCH cookie... Anyway, if it didn't stop booting above, it sure
as amen in church would crash when the Hades acc runs. HADES_B4.ACC can
not be used with memprotection anyway, I think.

 Try the things above. First make sure you don't run the HADES_B4.ACC,
and use splitram.prg and change the "cacr" setting in mmusetup.cnf. Then
in *should* work....
