More precisely :

- The machine boots OK, up to the disks detection. The hard disk is correctly detected

- After this, it should display the screen where I input the licence number, but it freezes, numlock is locked, and the 
only possibility is to pull out the plug...

Are you using USB keyboard, make sure there is no USB emulation thingy activated in the BIOS.

What happens if you try to install without any keyboard/mouse connected?  Does it get any further?

We're going to check that.

As you may know, in the present circumstances, cars makers impose long holidays on their employees... So, we won't be 
here again before the 5th of January.

See you next year!

Here we are again! Happy new year to everybody!

I'm afraid it doesn't: The PC freezes when displaying this message:

"Trying SATA mvSATA. Scanning for devices..."

Re: RE: RE: QNX installation on Dell PE840  
Does anybody has an idea ?
