How to reach me: PMs at forum, I don't really lurk in IRC currently
Area of interest at ReactOS: I've been the active as Czech translator since early 2008, I go to JIRA from time to time to log new or retest old bugs and sometimes even do some patches for code... HW testing ability since early 2014
Goal: To be permanently able to invest more time into ROS, finish Czech translation, unify Czech translation, submit some more code patches/tests, get my test notebooks to install and boot to ROS.
Random Facts:
- birthday: June 26th
- testing configs: VirtualBox (newest), Lenovo T400, Toshiba Satellite A50-101, (no longer ->)QEMU
- I even donated some money to foundation! The total sum of my donations is now around €100. Imitate me for the good of the project ;)
Random info for my easier finding:
- set condition * first always
- tab+k, bt, proc [list|attach], thread [list|attach]... "mod", "k"? - need to check
- Putty: 115200, Parity: None, don't forget to switch from XON/XOFF to the RTS/CTS (need to verify this)
- Logging into file - KDBinit - do I really have to set something before I'm able to log into file?
- FYI to debug this I changed the assert to this: - the __builtin_return_address(0) will be visible on the bluescreen and can be used with log2lines.
if (KeGetCurrentIrql() != DISPATCH_LEVEL) KeBugCheckEx(INSTALL_MORE_MEMORY, Thread->WaitNext << 8 | KeGetCurrentIrql(), (ULONG_PTR)__builtin_return_address(0), (ULONG_PTR)__builtin_return_address(1), Interval ? Interval->QuadPart : -1);
