QNXRTP 6.1 - CD does not mount

After installing QNXRTP 6.1 on my system, I no longer can access the
CD. I first installed QNXRTP from the January CD and then installed 6.1
from the qnxrtp.iso image that I downloaded. The system is a Gateway
system with an EIDE Disk and CD-ROM. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

This was a hardware configuration error. The CD-ROM was attached to the
Secondary IDE controller. When I moved it to the Primary IDE controller,
things worked fine.

I don’t agree, it should work, i have the same problem. Sounds to me like a
bug

I have just installed qnxrtp 6.1 on my system and love it. Much better than
the last two releases (which were beta products I assume). My cd/rw is located
as master on the secondary IDE channel and the cd mounts every time. Go
figure.

Since loading the July version of RTP6.1.0 I am having similar mount

problems, ie:

  1. mount -t cd /dev/cd0 /cd0 no longer works - mount suggests possible
    reason is “Resource busy”. I am only using the Primary IDE channel, hard
    drive is master, cd is slave…
  2. mount -T io-net devn-speedo.so no longer works - mount suggests possible
    reason is “Operation not permitted”. I have an Intel 82559ER ethernet chip.

These both worked fine in the 2001/03/09 CD version, and the January
downloaded release…

Any assistance/ideas would be appreciated

This seems to be a common problem unique to 6.1. The problem is that
devb-eide fails to detect the Secondary IDE controller when only a CD is
present. Therefore no CD device is created (no /dev/cd0). Everything else is
just a symptom.

I’ve done some fairly extensive work to try to find the cause. My test setup
is a Aopen AX34proII motherboard. This uses a VIA694X chipset.
All the following are do not help the problem:
Changing CDROM
CDROM Master/Slave configuration
BIOS (I’ve tried R1.11 and R.12)
BIOS Setting including: UDMA/PIO mode, PnP config, Power Managment,
IDE mode
Neutrino 6.1 setting including: using .altboot, various boot
options.

The only thing that does work.
Using Neutrino 6.0
OR
Wireing the CDROM as a slave to the disk on the Primary IDE
AND at the same time disableing the Secondary IDE controller.
