On QNX 4.25D at different times and different locations an entry in my
sysinit will fail with the following message:
Dosfsys: Exec format error - I have see it with netmap, nameloc,
chkfsys, dumper and tinit.
The routine that has the error doesn’t run. When I reboot I have seen
one of the other routines have this error and if I keep trying I will
get a successful boot. I never saw this under any other versions of
4.2x.
I’m not sure what other information to post.

Exec Format Error means that the file system does not recognize the
format of thr binary. Do you have Neutrino installed on the system?
If you only have QNX4 installed, run chkfsys and make sure that the
file system is ok.

This is on a QNX4.25D system. I have chkfsys run unconditionally every
start. I’ll run manually and see what happens…
Thanks,

Hi.
I had this problem once. It was caused by bad hardware. I forget if it was
RAM or hard drive.

can be either but more likely ram, can also be from having nuetrino execs
called on a QNX machine or the other way around

Sounds like your disk or memory is a bit flakey.
I’ve seen exec format error after a bad compile, or a bad compy. But it was
always consistant, not working after a few tries.
If it sometimes works and sometimes not, then be ready to replace
something…

removeable scsi HD, etc)

Well, technically, QNX4.25 cannot tell that a Neutrino exec is not one
of its own. Neutrino execs are ELF, and QNX4.25 will run an ELF
executable. It won’t do you any good to run Neutrino execs on QNX4,
but it does not generate an exec format error.

To clarify the machine is exclusive QNX 4.2x.
I will explore RAM and hard drive. Thanks for the clues.

My hard drive has problems. Today it started making bad noises. So it is
likely the culprit. A new one will be here soon so unless I post again that
was the cause.
Thanks everyone,
