When trying to install QNX Momentics 6.2 PE, the CD
boots, the install gets past the first couple of
screens (past running from CD or installing to HD).
However, it fails to find /dev/hd0 and aborts the install.
The IDE setup is as follows:
PM = 6 GB (I have about 3 GB unpartitioned here)
PS = LS120
SM = 27GB
SS = CDROM
Windows 2000 is also installed on this system.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Muhahahaha … bwahahahaha … cough … cough … bright minds
behind QNX installer, rejoice!
And meanwhile you poor folks with LS120 - make sure there is some media in
it (anything at all) when you run QNX installer. Otherwise this masterpiece
will choke trying to issue some CAM command to LS120 and freak out. Of
course it would not hurt if it was smart enough to figure the device is
removable and then smart enough to check if media is present before trying
CAM commands on it… (hint, hint)

I tried this, but it didn’t help. Also tried unplugging the LS120,
but then the BIOS complains the disk is not ATAPI compliant!
The motherboard is an IDE based Intel Pentium 4 board.
The primary IDE is using one of those new 80 conductor cables.
The hard disk is fairly old though.
The IDE shipset on this board is reported on Win2000 as
“Intel 82801DB Ultra ATA storage controller - 24 CB”.
Then you have some other problem as well. I’ve seen many cases when
something goes wrong with this installation. I’d recommend to install 6.2 on
another (less troublesome) machine and make an ‘experimental’ floppy on it,
so you can play with stuff (shell, plus basic utilities, EIDE driver, etc).
Note, the EIDE driver in this release is rather new and immature I guess. I
understand it attempts to not depend on BIOS for chipset initialisation.
Also install CD is made in such a way that eide driver does not use DMA,
afaik. Something could be messed up… The devb-eide diagnostic messages
should help.
Try to simplify your hardware setup as well. I’ve seen CD being slave
causing installation to choke (and yes I verified that everything was
configured perfectly cable/jumpers/BIOS-wise). Nothing helped until CD was
made master…
