QNX6 under VmWare dies on chkfsys at boot-time.

Can you be a little more precises when you say “dies”. I would be really
surprise the issue would be with vmware.

Thank you for reply. Screen is attached.

It does’n matter, if boot disk is virtial (file) or real. Initially it went,
until the chkfsys was requested.

it appears to be DMA related.

Try disabling DMA in the boot menu.

So I’ve tried it:

  • disable DMA in VMWare BIOS (pressing F2 before boot)
  • disable DMA pressing D while booting QNX6
    …the same result

Is it possible to solve this problem?

Hum, does your VM has a floppy drive? Try removing it, also remove any
devices like sound, parallel port, etc.

My guess is it was the floppy. It doesn’t work at all under QNX4 (crashes)

so I’ve made it a habit of never having one.
