f32qldr stops after 'Transfer Control...'   
Hi all,

I created a boot image with the system image builder. Named it boot.ifs and copied it to an USB stick prepared with 
DriveKey.

The following is shown on screen:
f32qldr Version 1.00 (but 1.01 too)
Filename /BOOT.IFS
#############################################.
Image read to address 0x00110000
Transfer control...

Is there something special I need to do with the boot image? The bootimage size is 1.592.236 bytes  and 1.593.344 bytes 
on disk.

Regards,
Freddy

Does the .ifs image boot if you use a qnx4 filesystem?  (Sorry, have to check.)  You can use the attached utils to make 
the qnx4 usbkey from windows.  (Read usbstick.txt)

Looks like your are using version 1.01 since the ###'s end in '.'  Not aware of any other issues if the .ifs boots on 
qnx4 filesystem.

Hi Dennis,

Here are my findings:
1) Your suggestion did not work also. A line and a half of dots and then nothing.
2) q32qldr v1.01 or v1.00 have the same result
3) It all happens with a bootimage of 1596604 bytes
4) Using q32ldr v1.00 or v1.01with a bootimage of 1793144 bytes results in a normal boot.

Regards,
Freddy

Hi Dennis,

Here is the 'failing' System builder project.

SOLVED.

The boot script given in project.bld (<bootscript type="mkifs" inline="false">) did not match the one given in the boot 
image properties. The warning dialog did show an error about a file that could not be found at an absolute position. 
Resolving this warning caused a update of project.bld. The update also caused an update of the <bootscript type="mkifs" 
inline="false"> element. It held the correct file after the update.

Is there a way to get warnings shown when building the bootimage. It appears that it is using the file present in 
project.bld and not the file shown in the properties of the System Builder bootimage.

I know this is an old post, but I'm having the exact same problem but no warnings are showing up for me to fix!

Any ideas on what else could be going wrong?

Maybe your ifs grew too large?
