I got the 6.1.0 RTP .ISO last night and burned it. This morning I’m
having some difficulty.

Firstly I ran into a problem with my cd-rom being slave with no master, no
real big deal there.
In the process of working that out I booted the CD in another of my systems
and ran the system from CD.
I didn’t keep that running long but I did encounter some problems with the
Radeon driver, if anyone would
more information on my setup or for me to break out a new HD and test that
setup further email me.

My qnx system is as follows.

Asus PI-P55T2P4
P233-mmx
128mb ram
3gb WD hd
3dfx Voodoo 3 16mb
Intel Pro-100 82557 based pci nic
Creative Audio Pci ES-1373 based
floppy, ide cd blah blah
USB is bios disabled, as are all serial and paralel ports.

Mostly the system works fine, however I can’t get the networking to
function.
From phlip if I set DHCP, check enable and apply phlip goes to lunch for a
couple minutes and when it comes back it resets to manual.
I’ve set host and domain, I’ve tried setting IP up by hand. Still no joy.
ifconfig en0 show nothing anomolous. ifconfig en0 up or down do nothing of
use.
pidin -p 77839 mem shows the modules I’d expect to see.
lsqnx.so.2
npm-tcpip.so
denv-speedo.so
npm-pppmgr.so
npm-qnet.so

I’ve tried slaying io-net and reloading it by hand
slay -f io-net
io-net -d speedo -p tcpip -p qnet
now when I do this link lights will sometimes go up on my switch sometimes
10mb sometimes 100mb when it happens it’s a solid light and for a short
duration.

So at this point I’m stumped, I suppose it could be an auto-negotiation
issue,
both the nic and switch support 10/100 and hdx/fdx. I suppose this nic could
be
bad and I’ll swap it out for an identical one but it was working when I used
this
shell to build a disk for a linux laptop so I doubt the nic is at fault.

Anyone have an idea?

Mostly the system works fine, however I can’t get the networking to
function.

Alright so I found some information on qdn.public.qnxrtp.os that shed
some light for me. It seems that if I
issue io-net -d speedo nomulticast,speed=10,duplex=0 things work.

If I set speed 100 the card works but still at 10mb/s.

Full duplex sends the card to lunch at either speed though at 100/fdx
it goes batty with activity

Also I note that if I don’t set nomulticast it also dies regardless of
speed.

So now that I have minimal conectivity I’ll go get patch A, and see
about updating devn-speedo.so!

Also check developers.qnx.com for an updated speedo driver. We are
also in the midst of revamping the speedo driver, so the next release
should have alot of fixes in it.
