Hello
Has anyone found a work-around for QNX 6.1’s install
reporting ‘/dev/pci did not mount’ just after the .altboot option?
I have tried many differing boot options via spacebar, to no
avail. I have an ABIT KT7 motherboard, with only DXR3
and SBLive! taking up PCI slots. One ATA100 Harddrive
as Primary Master, and an ATA33 as primary slave – two
CD drives on Secondary IDE channels.
After you have booted your machine, please run ‘pci-bios -vvv’ and
post the output from ‘sloginfo’.

Hello
thanks for your reply –
QNX 6.1 install locks-up after it reports ‘/dev/pci did not mount’ –
and there are no prompts before that to issue the pci-bios command.
Am I missing anything I’m booting straight from the QNX 6.1
disc. I have tried installing on a FAT partition via Windows, but
the same problem occurs using the boot-disk it creates to access QNX.

When the prompt “Press spacebar…” appears at boot time, press the
spacebar, then F11, then F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, then enter twice. Does the
machine boot and come up with a prompt?
Hello,
thanks again for your reply. I turned off all the enumerators,
and then continued boot in verbose mode. The same
error occurs, ‘pci server could not start’ and ‘/dev/pci did not mount’
– no prompt.

As well as disabling the enumerators, you can also press F6 (verbose)
3 times to get more output on the screen. Maybe you can get some more
information as to why the pci server is exiting.

I also tweaked my BIOS, to no avail.
I’m guessing that I’m stuck >
Thanks again and best of regards,

OK, let’s try a process of elimination! Can you remove the DVD decoder
and sound cards from the system and see if it boots. If it does, then
you can replcae them one at a time and see when the system hangs. I would
suspect that maybe the DVD decoder card is causing problems.
If the system still hangs without the cards, you can try pressing the
space bar at boot time and select F5 and see if you get a debug shell.

I tried F1, F4, same result. My homebrewed system specs are as follows:
ABIT KT7A - VIA KT133 chipset, 512MB RAM, TBird CPU,
AGP Video Accleration (GeForce), PCI DVD Decoder card (DXR3),
PCI sound card (SB Live), 2xCDROMs (IDE2), 2xHarddisks (IDE1),
1xFDD.
thanks again for all your input, it is much appreciated,
I have exactly the same problem but a complete different hardware
distribution:
an intel Premiere/PCI ED (Batman’s Revenge), a Intel Pentium 66MHz, ISA
graphics adapter (Cirrus Logic), 1GB HDD, 2 Ethernet cards, 1 ISDN card
and a typhoon soundcard, all cards are ISA. A Teac 6x CDROM and 16MB EDO
RAM.
I’ve tried to eliminate the ISDN card and one of the Ethernet cards (and
tried only with the 3com eth-card).
Maybe the systewm doesn’t work with ISA-graphic adapters?
Error message with verbose mode:
Starting pci-bios -m
