Hi,
Who can I rebuild and install new /.boot and /.altboot ?
Vasilii
Hi Vasilii,
You can make new image by mkifs utilite. Read help on mkifs in order to get
details about this utilite and build scripts. Copy new image as /.altboot
then reboot system and press Esc.
Note you must be root.
Regards,
Eduard.

Hi,
I’m sorry, my question was not correct.
Indeed my problem as follows:
I compiled image with mkifs but I cannot to copy it to /.altboot or /.boot.
I tryed:
cp base.img /.altboot
It was error message was:
cp: (base.img,.altboot) Resource is busy
or like that.
Thus, I cannot understand how to install boot image.

Hi,
That seems to work for me 
. I have copied file under Midnight Commander
and without Photon running. What version QRPT are you using? And Is it
partition installation or in FAT?
May be, the Chris McKillop’s article gives you useful hints. Check

I have installed QNXRTP 6.1 on hard disk partition (IDE,20Mb).
I tryed to copy it by command cp as in my previouse letter.

You are really?
I tryed to copy it by command cp as in my previouse letter.
Unfortunately I’m currently under Windows. I’ll try it at home tonight and
I’ll able to reply only after weekend. I’m really unaware what’s cause for
your problem.
Good luck,
Eduard.

Really disk size is 20Gb and QNX partition size is 3Gb.
Vasilii
this size sounds really strange …

Hi Vasilii,
It’s a pity, but I can not help you. There are no problems to rewrite the
file /.altboot in my QNX RTP 6.1 GA (upgrade from 6.0 release).
Indifferently it is done by cp, under MC, in Photon’s pterm or without
Photon. I had no found any process locks the file. Check out the file
attributes. Look through pidin’s output. Repeat your question if you will
not have a luck. Write in the message what exactly you see on the screen
when you are trying copy the file. Screenshot for uname -a will be useful
also.
Regards,
Eduard.

I have seen that problem before when trying to copy a newer version of an
executable over one that is running. Try copying with the force flag.
cp -fv base.img /.altboot
May not be the best approach but it seems to work. May want to do a cksum
after the copy to verify file.
Hope that helps.

I tried, but it faild.
The only way I found is:
mkifs xxx.build /.boot
It works !
I think it is package file system related.
Thank You.

It seems to be strange. Looks like cp fails, but I don’t see why does mkifs
work. The same conditions for mkifs to write output file…
I think it is package file system related.
I have a doubt. Why does cp without any switches work in my system?
Good luck,
Eduard
