pci-bios with STPC Industrial x86 computers

I am installing QNX6 onto two STPC Industrial x86 computers:

  1. MSC PC104plus using PhoenixBIOS
  2. STINDUSPCBD evaluation board using AMI BIOS

I want to use the PCI bus on both of them, however invoking the QNX PCI
server “pci-bios” always fails, and /dev/pci never shows up.

Using the same build script works fine (I can see all my pci devices using
the “pci -v” command) on a Pentium II .
Windows 95/98 runs fine on both STPC boards, and recognize PCI peripherals
OK.

Could there be a problem or incompatibility with the BIOS?
Has anyone seen this kind of problem before with STPC computers?

Thanks
Tony Nordstrom

Could I have that beta pci-bios too? I would like to test it with STPC
Client.

Thanks, Pavol Kycina

Could you please post the output of “pci -v” from your STCP Industrial based
system?

Thanks, Pavol Kycina
