Hi,
About 4 monthes I upgraded motherboard & CPU of my PC. After that QNX
(4.25E) crashes every day. Several times per day. Yesterday I lost files, I
was working on, bacause of crash. So I can’t stand it any more. Here is
some statistics. Sometimes it happens on QNX loading stage. In this case I
get typical crash screen (register states, etc). In most cases crash
happens when I’m under Photon : if I’m lucky, I’m thrown away from Photon
into text mode where I see SIGBUS message. In this case I can use
Shift-Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot PC “softly”. If I’m not lucky, no any error
messages, I’m still under Photon, but everything hangs up and the only
thing I can do is hard reset.
No matter what I do. Crash can happens when I’m typing text in vedit, or
when I do nothing, or when PC in the sleep mode. Also crashes are
independent of running tasks.
Such crashes never happened before. My new motherboard is Abit BX133-RAID.
RAID is turned off. Chipset Intel 440BX. HPT370 Ultra DMA 100 controller.
CPU Intel Pentium III 1GHz. CPU FSB clock 133 MHz (I tried 100Mhz though. It
doesn’t help). BIOS settings set to fail-safe defaults.
Besides QNX, there is WinME and Linux Mandrake on the same PC. They work
with no any problem.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Gen
Sounds like you have a memory problem. SIGBUS is usually am memory
parity error.

The same memory modules worked fine with the same QNX on my previous
motherboard. Also WinMe & Linux don’t have any problems,

What was the speed of your previous motherboard? Is the RAM bus speed
on your new motherboard the same as the old moterboard?

These OSes might not be using the perticular memory area QNX is using.
Just because these 2 OSes are not crashing doesn’t mean the hardware
isn’t broken.
Try removing most driver from the init sequence (sysinit.?).
That could give some clue has to what piece of hardware
is giving trouble.

The speed of old motherboard was 100Mhz, new one - 133Mhz. The thing
is my 2x128Mb memory modules are of pc133 type and they should work well.

Have you tried just running with one memory module at a time and seeing
if it still crashes?
