Boot Cd fails-QNX Neutrino (6.3.2) Host on VIA Eden/CX700 M2  
Hi,

I downloaded the latest version of QNX Momentics 6.3.2 Neutrino Host CD ISO from QNX download center.

I have an EBX board with VIA Eden C7 processor,CX700M2 unichrome graphic chipset with 512 MB memory and Two SATA drive 
connectors and two PATA drive connectors (traditional IDE drives). 

I tried booting it (after burning the ISO to a CD) on my computer(EBX board) but it does not boot. I gives me the 
message:

"Hit ESC for .altboot"

and then it just restarts the system again and then keeps doing it again and again. I have tried combination of SATA/
PATA drives but was not able to get it working.

Also earlier I had posted this question to the openqnx forum (http://www.openqnx.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t10216-.html) 
and someone suggested me to use the legacy mode. I tried that but no success.

I have tried the following with no success so far:

1. Legacy/Native modes in BIOS did not work.
2. I tried USB-CDROM after disconnecting IDE CD ROM. did not work
3. I also tried SATA CD-ROM. That also did not work.

In all the above 3 cases, the system gets restarting.

Lastly, I did some research on qnx website and the closest thing that I found was the sentence "devb-ahci and devb-eide 
compete for the same bus, which results in a hang."

Anybody has ideas regarding what might be the problem?

Will really appreciate your help.
