Newbie RTP install probs - help appreciated

Hi

I’m having a few problems with the RTP install. I burned
the 90MB iso image onto CD and installed QNX into its own
600 MB partition. However, there seem to be a few probs:

  1. I have a dual cpu box, but it doesn’t seem to use SMP.
    Checking the newsgroups, it would seem that using the
    qnxbasesmp.ifs file boots it in dually mode but I can’t find
    that file on the system.

  2. Performance for the media player seems lacklustre. I have
    320MB RAM but when running the media player with an mpeg movie
    I am getting about 0.5 frames/sec, yet the CPU appears to be
    doing nothing much during this time.

  3. I have a hardware modem on COM3 and when I add the COM3 port
    it seems to work OK until it comes to negotiating the PPP link
    with my ISP. Then it seems to hang so I can’t get online.

Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if these
questions have been answered before.

Thanks

Graham

Once RTP is started type mkifs qnxbase.smp.build > ./tmpbootfile
then mv ./tmpbootfile to the location of the file that you booted
from. Ex. /fs/hd0-qnx4-2/.altboot for a QNX4 install

Could you post the url to this mpeg movie?

I’ll let someone else field the other question.
