Here I am replying to myself. As some kind person pointed out, the installer asks to set
the password during install time, so I just tried my common passwords and it worked. The
thing is with so much trouble installing and booting this system I must have completely
forgotten that I had set a password.
There should be a mention to this on the web site, IMO.
Thanks.
Well, I changed my network card from slots and now sometimes QnX boots without
disabling the enumerators, sometimes it still doesn’t. BTW, is there a recommended PC
configuration to run QnX? Will it run better if it is on itw own partition? Will it run
on Pentium IVs and win2000 (which is what I intend to buy)? These platforms are not
listed on QnX site.
Anyways, I have an embarrasing questions: once the login dialog box comes in, what is
the userid/password combination. I tried “root” with no password (and several others
combinations) with no luck. I searched through the QnX site and came up empty (this
should be there somewhere!). I also searched through the newsgroups and what I found
was that it should be “root” with empty password indeed. If this is the case, then
something else is not working for me.
Many thanks.

Hi Raul,
No I can’t think of a reason off the top of my head. I have at home:
Celeron 300A
256MB RAM
Abit BX-2
6.4GB IDE Harddrive
Adaptec 2940AU SCSI Card
2 SCSI CD’s (Pioneer DVD, Pinicle Micro Burner)
SB Live & SB AWE64 Gold
NE2K network card.
and it works just fine without having to disable anything.

OK, here are the results:
By booting with DMA enabled, I have no luck whatsoever, even with all enumerators
disabled (must have rebooted at least 30 times).
By booting with DMA disabled, I got the login box by disabling all enumerators. I
then played around with it and I can still get the login box by using F1 only to
disable enumerators (sorry, forgot what it is).
Any ideas what can possibly be wrong or different with my machine?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi Raul,
It is one of the options when you press the space bar at startup (F11).
Try disabling them all and see if it boots, if it does, then try disabling
all but one, then all but two, until the machine doesn’t boot. Its a slow
process, but it may be nessisary in this case.

What type of hard drive is it? IDE, SCSI? and if it is SCSI
what is the controller chipset?
It’s an IDE (Quantum)
What happens if you disable some of the enumerators?
I am afraid I don’t know what an enumerator is… Please let me know how to
disable them.
Thanks a lot.

Hello…
Your help would be much appreciated.
I went through the RTP installation on my Windows98 machine. When
booting, I select Qnx RTP. I get a number of messages but eventually
computer hangs. Pressing space bar and F6 yields a number of messages,
the meaningful ones being:
Reserve RMEM failed
Detected EIDE. Scanning…
Installing /dev/par port 378
then it hangs… I tried several times, with and without DMA.
My computer:
Celeron 300A
128MB RAM
2 CDROMS (Aopen and HP 8100i burner)
6GB HD
ATI AGP XPERT@Play 8MB
LinkSys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 card (model NC100)
I also have Access manager for Sympatico, but how to run that is a
separate question, I am trying to get QnX to boot first!
Thanks!
