Fsys.atapi on Panasonic Touchbook CF-30  
I'm trying to install QNX 4.25 onto a Panasonic Toughbook CF-30 with the Intel ICH9M-E/M sata chipset.  I'm using the 
latest installation CD from November 2009 and it is unable to locate the hard drive.  Is there a trick to getting the 
installation to see the drive?
Re: Fsys.atapi on Panasonic Touchbook CF-30  
Hi Eric,

There is a trick to start the Fsys.atapi manually while you installing:

1. Set "Run installation in diagnostic mode. / F12" check box on the first 
QNX Installer 2009 screen. Then press Next.

2. Unset "EIDE Disk Controller" on the "Select Hardware to Auto-detect" 
screen and press Next.

3. When "Auto-detecting Hardware..." is done use "Add" button to run the 
Fsys.atapi driver. In opened window choose category "Disk Controllers" and 
hardware driver "EIDE Disk Controller". Enter in the Command Line:

Fsys.atapi atapi ioport=0x1f0,irq=14 atapi ioport=0x170,irq=15

And press OK.

The ioport=0x1f0,irq=14 and ioport=0x170,irq=15 are generic parameters. 
You can get specific I/O ports and IRQs from the PCI configurations.

Re: Fsys.atapi on Panasonic Touchbook CF-30

I have the same problem.  Panasonic CF-30 toughbook.  I get to the hardware scan and cannot get the HDD recognised.  I 
tried running Fsys.atapi manually with this command:
Fsys.atapi atapi ioport=0xe150,ira=10 atapi ioport=0xc040,irq=15

But neither the CD nor the HDD were found.

If I run Fsys.atapi with no arguments, only the CD is found.

I tried looking in the BIOS, but there are no options associated with the SATA controller.

Has anyone got a resolution to this problem?

Please email me direct: tcrees@ise.bc.ca

Thanks, Tristan.
