QNX post-installation problem  
Hello,

I am new to QNX. I`ve installed the system, but I`m unable to run it. It doesn`t boot from hard disk(i have tried IDE 
and SATA) and neither from CD( i mean "live qnx"). Message I get every time i`m trying to run the system is:

Press the space bar to input boot options or D to disable DMA...
Trying SATA ahci. Scanning for devices...
xpt_configure: ahci SIM attach failure
Trying EIDE. Scanning for devices...
..found 2 devices
Detected USB. Scanning for devices...
Trying SATA mvSata. Scanning for devices...
xpt_configure: No mvSata interfaces found
Generating helpviewer search index
Copied "/usr/photon/config/crtc-settings" to "/etc/system/config/crtc-settings"
Starting extra run commands
login:

At this point system hangs, nothing is showing up when i am typing (I tried "root" then enter, nothing happened).
 I`d like to add one more information: during booting, the system enters to graphical mode (i can see mouse cursor on 
black background) for a while, then goes back to text mode to show the messages I`ve posted above.

I will appreciate any clues.

Hi Hieronim,

You've posted your question in the QNX4 discussion board, but you asked 
about the QNX6. Please, post the question again in the QNX Momentics 
Getting Started.

I think that your problem is graphics controller. Please replace it with 
another one if it possible.

Re: QNX post-installation problem  
I know its the wrong forum but the problem is you graphics driver. What you need to do is press the space bar during 
startup hen select F1 for safe modes.
Select the F3 option and then press enter then enter again.
Once you are at the command prompt login in with root.
Type crttrap clear and press enter. It will clear the graphis driver so it will look again during the next boot.
Then type shutdown -f and press enter. The system wil reboot and when it gets to the graphics driver start it will 
search for the correct driver and then continue with asking you to accept the driver or test it either one is correct. 
Press accept and it should go to the graphics screen.

 Good luck
