Hi all,
Today, the motherboard in our Fezile server has finally failed after
many hick-ups over the year. This causes an outage for the following
services:
* doxygen.reactos.org
* cppcheck.reactos.org
* VMware Player Test slave
* VMware Player Patchbot
As this is not the first time we struggle with such problems,
iso.reactos.org is routed to a different server right now and not affected.
We have already ordered replacement hardware for this system and hope to
be able to get it back to a working state soon. Even if this machine is
from 2007, we have decided to revive it with replacement parts instead
of going for a brand-new one as this is much cheaper and quicker to
realize. Also there is a huge pile of replacement hardware available.
Sorry for the inconveniences!
Cheers,
Colin
Hi
I'm new to ReactOS development and started to look into some issues I
noticed with the setup. When I tried to install it I experimented a bit
and noticed that you can create extended partitions during the setup.
The setup also accepts such a partition for installation, but the actual
installations fails with an error.
Now I wondered, what would be the correct way to fix it. I checked with
Windows 7 installation, and it apparently doesn't allow you to install
on an extended partition either, at least it only allows you to create
primary partitions. So if this shouldn't be possible, then I would add
an error message to the setup, when the user chooses an extended partition.
If this should be possible though, I would look into it, why it fails
and try to fix it. Not sure if XP or others allow installations on
extended partitions, I have to check this (been a long time since I last
installed an XP :) ).
regards,
Gerhard Gruber
Hi all,
As already announced at the meeting today, I'm planning the very first
"ReactOS Hackfest" this year. Let's all finally meet up independently of
an exhibition and do some great work on ReactOS for a week!
The first idea was to have it at a location in Sweden, but this one
turned out to be not ready yet. Anyway, I found a possibility to have it
in the university city of Aachen, Germany.
Before we can plan any further regarding travelling and accomodation, I
need to know who's coming and when. So please fill out this Doodle:

Cheers,
Colin
Hello,
Let me invite you to the monthly status meeting taking place 30th of
April, 19:00 UTC, as always.
IRC service will only be started shortly before the meeting. Your
participation passwords and server address will be emailed to you
shortly before the meeting starts, and they are going to be different
once again as they are not stored in any database. Hopefully it's not
much of inconvenience.
If someone still is not getting passwords sent before a meeting - please
email Pierre before the meeting started to get one.
Please send agenda proposals to me before the meeting, so that we can
start with a proposed agenda.
And join Mumble!
Regards,
Aleksey Bragin

This looks highly dangerous to me and likely compiler dependent.
I'd rather perform the sanity checks before ever touching HandleTable,
especially because the value of Handle is coming right from caller
registers and have never been sanitized before.
