Bsod with latest build (61208):
It must be your hardware, because I installed 61208 yesterday and it works normally. And I have re-installed it today after trying a new programme yesterday which did not work very well. And it still installs and runs ok. But don't give up, keep testing new revisions.
Please keep the Windows classic 9x/2000 look and feel.
The layman's guides - debugging - bug reporting - compiling - ISO remaster.
They may help you with a problem, so do have a look at them.

And so I did. I continued, even though some seem to think it little worth, and with some aid of TheFlash and others, and an adapter I had laying around, I took out the HD of my dedicated ROS machine, and used it as an usb HD to my main one, to search for the debug log. I managed to get this:

Edit:

Seen some recent remarks, I should make it clear once more, apparently.

I don't know how many times I must repeat this:

1)It's a regression only noticeable when HW-testing; it remains UNDETECTED when testing in VM.

2)I CAN NOT get any decent debug-info from the debug screen mode because there IS NOTHING to be shown. I already said it was blank. People keep asking and asking me for that but the ONLY thing I get in that mode is this: http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic. ... 15#p105043

3)I DO NOT have a serial cable (as said many times too), therefore I can not provide debug info that way.

4)After much effort and time, I managed to swap my HD's after I made a debug log mode with tb tracking. When I got the debug log file out of there, I posted (see above). Theflash and others have analysed it: it has NO KD and BT DID NOT work

Thus: it completely freezes, and it's doubtful even a serial cable would help.

In conclusion: the shabby pictures and manual typing of bsods are the ONLY thing that's left, together with my painstakingly narrowing down the build that causes the regression by burning builds two dozen times.

Yes, under those circumstances, I can't provide the coders with an easy-to-digest line-by-line BT. I would say: it's better to have 10% info than 0%. And it's better to know one has a thusfar UNDETECTED regression that has been narrowed down to a specific build and a probably cause, EVEN if one does not have the exact line yet, than to have nothing at all.


And 5) Together with Theflash and some others, I managed to confirm that it is, without any doubt, the driver. (not the kernel, etc.) I removed my card, rebooted ROS, renamed my cmipci.sys, restarted, and everything worked well, this time. I returned it to its original name, restarted, and it borked again. I think we can safely assume, thus, it is, indeed, the driver.

It could also be that the driver expects a certain behavior on Windows, but gets a different one on ReactOS (so this would be a bug in the kernel then).

Too bad there isn't some code that could go between the kernel and the driver to note and observe the behavior and all. It could dump to somewhere. I mean, like the keyboard test that helped debug the keyboard and mouse stuff.

Webunny,
It is really worth getting a serial cable (null modem) if you are going to keep testing in real hardware. There is much more debug info sent out to a log file or serial port, than is displayed to the screen.

The null modem cables are not too expensive, if you go to a small shop. The big boys sell them about three times as much as the small shops, at least here in the uk. I have had one for about two years and it cost about £5.

actually it may be a bit hard to find, you may want to build your own null modem cable:

And so I did. I continued, even though some seem to think it little worth, and with some aid of TheFlash and others, and an adapter I had laying around, I took out the HD of my dedicated ROS machine, and used it as an usb HD to my main one, to search for the debug log.
I use a Linux liveCD (puppy) for accessing files on my test machine and for accessing the internet. So wouldn't it be worth getting a liveCD, so in future, if such a situation arises again, you can get at the log file without extracting your hard drive.

I bought a null modem cable for $5.99 a few days ago. I wasn't actually looking for one, but when saw it I thought about the possibility of using it for real hardware testing. They're definitely not expensive.

What a simple solution! If your hardware is not that old, you can also boot from a Live USB installation. I created one with Ubuntu and it works like a charm. You just need a motherboard + BIOS that support booting from USB Thumb Drive. And Ubuntu has an option of creating a bootable USB drive from it's installation menu! The bonus to USB is if you change settings in Ubuntu then, it is actually saved and loaded next time. Not like a read-only Live CD.

It was suggested in the irc chan too. It's a worthwhile suggestion on itself, and I certainly will think about that, but the problem that now arises is not that I couldn't get the debug file log, but that the log didn't show the real problem (KD/TB didn't work). Using a linux live-cd distribution (I suppose ubuntu would do too? I have some of those) wouldn't solve this issue, thus.

Nope, this will not help if the system does not generate a (useful) log file. I don't know anything about debugging ReactOS. So I have no idea if there is a difference between the debug info over a serial cable and normal "boot with debug mode" log files.

I'm also planning to test on real hardware, I have quite a few decommissioned pc's standing in my living room! And I have bundles of hareware stored in my drawers from PC's I have collected and taken apart in the past years. So your findings will probably help me in the future...

Yes, you do that. There is a lack of real HW testing, imho. Sure, it's far more easier to test things on VM (personally I use Virtualbox and putty), but when push comes to shove, there is nothing better than to test it on real HW, though it's harder work. It's more 'back to basics', I guess. But certainly in regard to drivers this is useful, as my testing has shown. There is no way (and there hasn't) that any VM-testing would have noticed there was this kind of regression, for instance. I suppose the reason is, that VM only emulates some standard 'equipment' virtually, while in reality, certainly with PC's (less with consoles), hardware, and how it works and interacts with software (including OS, and in particular the drivers), greatly diverge. In theory, you could have something that works excellent in VM, but still borks on 80% of all real HW. (in reality, this will be less, but as is shown in my case, it certainly is true that HW reveals things VM-testing don't).

So I think we need more real HW testing, with a variety of machines. That said, I know from my test with the 3.14 build, that only 1 out of four of my PC's managed the run it successfully (the one I'm using now for 3.15 testing). The rest simply did not work on it. If you ever get to it, let me know if your success-rate is higher than 25%; it may give an indication in ROS is slowly getting more compatible with real hardware.

If you are referring to Ros installing and running, then I have this year been getting something around 95% success rate and possibly 100%! But I only test on one computer.
The issues that I have, are more to do with software that does not install or does not run correctly. The only OS related issue that I can think of, is, that there is a problem with the log in, but that was still being coded.
