hanging in boot loop

Hello there. I just managed to use full 128MB on my laptop (/M128 switch in
config.sys - thanx!) but now, after installing the packages C/C++ and jed I
can’t boot QNX anymore as I could before. At boot the screen says:

Press the space bar to input boot options…
Range check failed (MEM) - Dev 6933 - Vend 1217 - Class 60700 - Addr 0 -
Size 1000 (twice)
Detected EIDE. Scanning for devices.
This can take up to 30 seconds…

but after some seconds of rotating character everything stops and I have to
reset again.

What can I do to be able to boot again?

Hi Nnamdi,

What happens if you take off the /M128? or try smaller numbers?
Does that then allow you to boot?

Thank you for your answer.

I tried every different /M-Switch possible and finally tried to boot without
/M… Even then QNX does not boot up but stops as described before. I think
it has to do with installing the packages. Because when I booted before,
there were no problems at all, even with full memory switch (/M128).
Right now I don’t use the boot menu anymore but the boot disk and that works
fine.
