Problems with Gateway Solo and RTP

Greetings,

I have a Gateway Solo 9300 xl. It is a PIII650 with 288 MB of RAM.

I had Augusta (from the April 2000 show) installed on it in the past and it
worked without any problems (ok, well, the sound and the winmodem did not
work but I expected that).

The latest and the previous version of RTP have had some fairly terminal
issues. After RTP is installed, stand-alone, it reboots and the following
message appears after the “Processor #1…” message.

Range check failed (MEM) - Dev ac1b - Vend 104C - Class 60700 - Addr 0 -
Size 1000

The above message appears twice.

The boot proceeds as normal and then stops, usually after the package
filesystem reports that it is ready to handle requests.

Any ideas?

I have the same box and the same problem.

Something to do with pcmcia.

Hit the space bar when it tells to you how to get to boot options.
Then type C and enter


It will then scan for EIDE devices and youw ill get the pkg stuff
again.
I then get:

Installing /dev/par port 378
file /.swapfile added as swap device
File /.swapfile successfully added as a swap device
and finally:
login:


To get my socketea ethernet pcmcia card running I type:

slay io-net
devp-pccard
pccard-launch ‘0x600, io-net -ptcpip -dne2000 ioport-0x$IOPORT
irq-$IRQ’ &

Note that this machine has a Wintel modem so you won’t be able to use
it under QNX. There is also a problem running accelerated graphics
above 1024x768 but I run at 1280x1024 and performance is not too bad.

I haven’t tried Patch A to see if any of these problems have gone
away.

sorry that should be:

pccard-launch ‘0x600, io-net -ptcpip -dne2000 ioport=0x$IOPORT
irq=$IRQ’ &

although it did work on machine with ioport- instead of ioport=
