I have been trying to get the non-commercial edition of Momentics to boot up
on my machine and it won’t. I am running windows 2000 so after I burned the
CD, I created a boot floppy.
I have tried both the boot and altboot modes.
It gets past printing the QNX information that this is for non-commercial
use only, then it says:
Hit space bar to setup boot options (or something like that, but nothing
happens if i hit the space bar)
Detected EIDE. Scanning for devices
And then it hangs. The cursor starts to spin (-/…) and then stops and
just sits there.
I have a Dell Dimension 8100 PC, running windows 2000 with a Pentium 4, 1.3
Ghz processor running a FAT32 file system. I am using a USB keyboard and
mouse and have standard devices attached like a printer, camera, scanner,
speakers.
Any help would be appreciated. I have seen a similar problem posted in July
with no solution posted.

You need to have a PS/2 keyboard (that is one thing right off).

Thanks for the information, I put a PS/2 keyboard on and got some more
information. It still hangs at the same spot in normal boot mode (after
scanning for devices) and the altboot hangs if i hit ESC even earlier after
printing the …
If I hit the space bar and try safe mode in a normal boot, it still doesn’t
work so i did verbose mode and got a bunch of errors on the screen:
SK_ILLEGAL_COMMAND 1a … (more info)
SK_ILLEGAL_COMMAND 5a …
ASC_BUS_RESET …
SK_ILLEGAL_COMMAND 23 in databyte s=cscsi_interpret_sense: path=1, target=0,
cam_status=c4, scsi_status=2, io scsi_interpret_sense: error=2-, sense=5,
asc=20, ascq=0
This was basically the last line in the screen. I can get the data from the
earlier errors if it helps. Does anyone have any more ideas?
Thanks again,
Scott
