Forum Topic - Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...: (19 Items)
   
Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Hi!! I need to change the CPU where QNX4 is working, I install QNX4 on a CPU that can boot with Fsys.eide and Fsys.atapi
, I download the latest Fsys.ahci driver, System Drivers, etc., I added the -E0 option to Proc3 line, modify to Fsys.
ahci on the build file, make the image and copy to .boot, but when I tried to boot on the new machine the process stop 
on the QNX Loader screen after 5 dots. It didn´t  show any error message but don´t boot. I really appreciate any help.
 Victor.
Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Did you change the BIOS to AHCI before you rebooted?

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Hi Hugh ! Yes, I changed to AHCI on BIOS before rebooted .... I didn´t received the SIGSEV error Message, the process 
seems just stop.....
Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
I would check to see whether Fsys.ahci is executable and also look at the
file size of your .boot file. Mine with the Fsys.ahci driver is about
540K. Sometimes is the boot image is too large, the system won't boot.

What is the file size and date of your Fsys.ahci? Mine is dated 19 Sep
2011 and is 217128 bytes long.

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Hugh this is the size and date of the Fsys.ahci that I have:
-rwxrwxrwx  1 root      root          85215 Oct 24  2011 Fsys.ahci
Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
I guess that that is the stripped driver. I have attached the one that I
have for you to try.

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Thanks Hugh... I used the Fsys.ahci that you send me, but it can´t boot. The screen stops at the same point (after 5 
dots in the boot loader). This is the .boot file generated:
-rw-------  1 root      root         540672 Aug 01 10:02 
I attached the build file that I used. I really appreciate your help. Thanks...

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
And this is the Proc32 I have:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root      root         135682 Feb 15  2012 Proc32
Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Here's my Proc32.

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Hugh, I used the Proc32 that you send me, and I modify my build file to this:

sys/boot
$ boot -v

sys/Proc32
$ Proc32 -E0 -l 1 -v 3

sys/Slib32
$ Slib32

sys/Slib16
$ Slib16

/bin/Fsys
$ Fsys -f 4096 -Hdisk500

/bin/Fsys.ahci
$ Fsys.ahci

/bin/mount
$ mount -p/dev/hd0 /dev/hd0t77 /

/bin/sinit
$ sinit TERM=qnx

But the result is the same, the boot process stops after 6 dots.
Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Well then this is a BIOS or machine problem, as Proc32 isn't even being
started. When I boot my machine I get a lot more dots than 6, so it looks
as though something is going wrong with the loader when loading the image.
If an Fsys.eide image is loading, see how many dots it puts on the screen.
The level 2 loader puts out the dots and normally if something goes wrong,
it will put and error letter on the screen. The level 1 and 2 loaders use
BIOS calls to read the boot image.

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
I added the new disk to a computer who works on QNX, I went to the boot directory on the new disk and I make the boot 
image (/p31/boot/images/hard.ahci.1) then I copy the image generated to /p31/.boot that is tha root od the new disk ( I 
mounted the new disk on /p31). That is correct, isn´t it ?
Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
You have to be careful, as building the new image will pull files from the
root directory of the host machine and not from the disk you are building
on. Rather put your build file in the /boot/build directory of the disk
that is mounted as / and once the image is built, copy it to .boot on the
new disk. Make sure that all the new files that you require are on the
disk mounted as /.

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
The only difference in my build file is that Fsys is started with
"-Hdisk160", but that shouldn't stop the boot process.
You can add verbosity to Proc32 in your build file and see if that tells
you anything.

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Well, I tried with a different motherboard (The first one was an Intel One) and the second one that I tried was an Asus.
 The problem is different on the Asus, on the Asus, after the 6 dots on the boot process, the computer resets, try to 
boot again and resets again and so on...
What can I do ? Any help please....
Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Here is the boot image from my machine. Unzip the file and then copy
boot.image to /.boot. See if that boots.

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
No Hugh..... The same happens... 
Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Well, then this is not a QNX problem. The image boots fine on my machine.
I don't know what more to say, but this definitely looks like a problem
with the BIOS, or a BIOS setting on your boards.

Re: Can´t boot with Fsys.ahci...  
Thanks Hugh... I am leaving my office now and I will be back on Monday. I will update the BIOS on the motherboard or try
 with a different brand and model and I tell you what happens. Thanks again for all your help.
