Problems on install QNX Neutrino RTOS on to i386   
Hi,there!
   I try to install QNX neutrino on to a P4 1.5HZ PC for target machine.
   I use the 6.3.2-nto632-200709062316.iso. The installation is success but after reboot it stop and dead at "Generating
 helpviewer search index".
  I think the PC has no problem because it can run Linux (fedora 6) and Windows XP before.
  What should I do next? Should I re-download a new iso and try again? Is there any other guy meet such problem before?

  Please help me, thanks!

                                             George

How long did you wait?

I've had that step take several hours on emulated targets, and sometimes 5 or 10 minutes on real machines.  Other times,
 it's just a few seconds, and I don't know what makes the difference.

Thankfully, it only has to run once.

Hi, Sada:
    Thanks a lot for your replying!
    Frankly, I do not wait for a long time at first. Maybe after several minutes I reboot it and it stoped or dead at 
following display:

Dectected USB scanning for devices
Trying SATA mvSata. Scanning for devices......

Then I think I left the PC on for more than one day and still dead.

    According to your experience, I will try to re install the OS and wait for another day to see the result with 
patience.

Best wishes,

                                           George

This looks like a driver problem... 
Try to post it in OS/BSP forums.

RE: Problems on install QNX Neutrino RTOS on to i386   
A couple of things to try...

1) Hit ESC for .altboot. This will use the non DMA image.
2) If that allows you to boot, you can rebuild the QNX image file.

cd /usr/qnx632/target/qnx6/x86/boot build
edit qnxbasedma.build and find the following:

[data=copy]
seedres
pci-bios
devb-eide
devb-amd
devb-aha2
devb-aha4
devb-aha7
devb-aha8
devb-adpu320
devb-ncr8
devb-umass
devb-ahci
devb-mvSata
umass-enum
umass-enum.cfg
io-usb
io-hid

Change it so that it looks as follows:

[data=copy]
seedres
pci-bios
devb-eide
devb-umass
umass-enum
umass-enum.cfg
io-usb
io-hid

Save the file and rebuild the image in the following manner:

mkifs -vv qnxbasedma.build /.boot

See if that changes the behaviour. At bootup, you should get an error saying
spawn of devb-mvSata failed rather than the build hanging.

If that doesn't work, can you please provide as full a description as
possible of your hardware?

Cheers,
-Brian

Re: RE: Problems on install QNX Neutrino RTOS on to i386   
Hi! Brian and Elena:
   Thank you very much for your replaying.
   My computer is "Laurier computer"(no so famous), its CPU is P4 1.5GHz, with 256 off chip cache. 256M RAM and 40G HD.
That's all I know. It can run windows XP and Fodora6 well.
  According your guidance, I press the Esc and space when booting. (only Esc will no use) Then I select F5 to "Start a 
debug shell after mount filesystems".

  It display like following:

Select? F5
Trying Sata mvSata. Scanning for devices.
All file systems are mounted.Type"exit" to exit the shell and continue.
#exit
Type "exit" to continue and execute the sysinit file.
sh: j_init:tcgetpgrp() failed: Inappropriate I/O control operation
sh:warning: won't have full job control
#exit
-
and then dead.

Best wishes,

                  George
