Trying to figure out boot process

Well, I look a bit at the code, and try to figure out a bit more how things... boot. First you need a bootsect, and there are many depending of where it is put: http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/reactos/boot/freeldr/bootsect/ I believe the role of bootsect is to load freeldr.sys. FreeLoader r...

Re: Where does FreeLoader gets it's modules list?

Thanks, but at first glance this is not it. I means I commented out usb stuff in reactos/media/inf/CMakeLists.txt and after that "ninja all" said nothing to do. Then bootcd with "ninja bootcd" did the same as before. edit1:I think this is linked to http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reac...

Where does FreeLoader gets it's modules list?

I have built a bootcd with: #add_subdirectory(usbohci) in drivers/usb/CMakeLists.txt file. It build fined, but when I try to run it: (../../boot/freeldr/freeldr/windows/winldr.c:328) err: Can't load boot driver 'system32\drivers\usbohci.sys'! It will also stop because it cannot initialize boot drive...

Re: Cannot use kbd> on VirtualBox running on Linux

The best option is already documented in https://www.reactos.org/wiki/VirtualBox minicom with serial port set to unix#/tmp/ReactOS-Debug.pipe Then you can use Ctrl-A Z to get list of commands. Most usefull Ctrl-A L to log to a file. When finished, redo Ctrl-A L to close the file. Ok I found somethin...

Cannot use kbd> on VirtualBox running on Linux

Once at the kbd> prompt, I cannot send my keystroke to the VM while using socat to show the log. Even if I boot ReactOS (RosDbg)... ReactOS (Debug) should have this problem I think. I use: paul@chibouli:~$ socat unix-client:/tmp/ReactOS-Debug.pipe stdin [Tab K to force the debugger] fixme:shell:OnNo...

Re: setup wizard: registring components 100% but hang

Well, without reinstalling... I connected my null-modem cable... and rebooted in debug mode.
This time I accepted default value in Setup Wizard.
Somehow... sadly... it finished without problems this time.
So that now I reboot, and the system inform me that it found a new audio-device.

Ok, having gone through the problem of needing to grow my video memory in BIOS, I was happy to go to setup wizard. Was mostly ok... except maybe setting my country to Canada, it was coming back by itself to United States. Setting default keyboard layout... I had no feedback telling me I succeeded to...

Re: VBEMP: VBESetCurrentMode failed (14f)

I did read the other post about problems about i845 chipset having problems (not enough video memory). So I did go in my BIOS to see that actual memory set was 1024k ... I changed it to 8096k... then reboot. Did not have to try VGA (which I had try before with F8, VGA) and did not seen any major cha...

On this computer, ReactOS does not seems to work. With ACPI, I got: http://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-7501 So, I reinstalled, but without ACPI (uniprocessor standard... or something like this).

IDE enhanced mode, what is it, why it does not work?

Hi, I tested TRUNK (some days ago), more precisely livecd-48891-dbg.iso. On Pentium III with a Voodoo 3 AGP video card, it looks like all the drivers were loaded on the black screen (after FreeLoader). But it seems hang at the end. Maybe Voodoo 3 is not a VESA card?

Re: Can ReactOS benefit from Gallium3ds support for directX1

Well, It is still quite a bit confused in my head. But Gallium3D was integrated in Mesa main line, in version 7.5 (July 2009). I THINK that it is still not used much, and that it is optional for now. And that even if eventually, it would be compilable on Windows and then allows to use the new driver...
