SMP under Neutrino

Hi,

I have a system with dual PIII500’s on Asus P2B-D motherboard (bios-updated
to 1012B - latest).
The free version of Neutrino fails to boot the SMP support (procnto-smp) for
this system.

I did enable the MPS 1.4 Support in my BIOS settings (even though my
original motherboard manual says this is “reserved future use”) - i.e. I’m
not sure if this make any difference.

How do I get SMP working on this system under QNX Neutrino?
I was able to utilize both CPUs under NT4, Win2000, and RH Linux 6.x on this
system prior to installing Neutrino.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Look at /boot/build/qnxbasesmp.build

Run `mkifs /boot/build/qnxbasesmp.build /.altboot’

…altboot is now an SMP boot image

One word of warning when editing the WINDOWS config.sys file as

described on Chris’ webpage…

you may have to use:

[SMP]
DEVICE=C:\PROGRA~1\QNX\boot\bin\loadqnx.sys
C:\PROGRA~1\QNX\boot\fs\qnxbas~2.ifs

instead of:

[SMP]
DEVICE=C:\PROGRA~1\QNX\boot\bin\loadqnx.sys
C:\PROGRA~1\QNX\boot\fs\qnxbasesmp.ifs

Otherwise, you may get a “No file!” message when loadqnx.sys goes
looking for your SMP boot-image.

I suppose you could also rename the SMP boot-image to a standard ‘8.3’
DOS filename, but I didn’t try this to confirm.
