Re: Boot from USB
I very much doubt it. It wasn't mentioned in the release post, nor can I find anything like that in the change logs.
Re: Boot from USB
Not yet.
Apart from USB, some work is required on Plug and Play code, the man you know has worked on that.

Re: Boot from USB
Are all of vgal`s code in oficial ReactOS 0.4.10 or in 0.4.11 build?

Doesn't look like it.

But a lot of the code is there: https://github.com/reactos/reactos/tree ... rivers/usb

Re: Boot from USB
The changes to the driver stack that allow booting from USB are not simply bug fixes, but instead completely rewrite all of these drivers. That means not only do the new drivers have to be merged into the repository (as xxx_new), they have to be enabled as a separate step afterwards (by replacing the regular versions with their _new counterparts). The first part has happened, the second has not.
This is an extremely difficult way to do development and there is a high risk of regressions when the switch-over happens. That's a large part of the reason why things are moving slow: the new code has to be carefully reviewed and intensely tested to minimize the regression risk.
So the open PR is not blocking USB boot, the switch-over to the new drivers is (plus some fixes in the kernel).

Thank you for the explanation, ThFabba.

Any change of this since 0.4.11?ThFabba wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 11:48 am The changes to the driver stack that allow booting from USB are not simply bug fixes, but instead completely rewrite all of these drivers.
