Thanks Jim, I passed your regards on to the development team. I think sometimes we forget the great promise that ReactOS holds, but then someone like yourself reminds us.

ROS-release prepared
by Robert Köpferl 24 Aug '05

24 Aug '05

Hi, I prepared a distribution of ros 0.2.7 release. However, I have no good feeling. Not very reproducable (at least I didn't get the rule, yet) it makes problems in qemu. -Sometimes the setup without format doesn't work (crash) -Then the creation of some hive didn't work -> freeldr can't boot -Install works, boot fails At least I have an archive with qemu and working 0.2.7 Maybe that's all related. Possibly am I operating at some limit. Moving the mouse fills up the last bit of memory. Actually, however, if this is the same on our customers pcs, I don't like the idea of delivering that...

ReactOS 0.2.7 setup bug
by Lucio Diaz 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

Tested in real software. Sintoms: Setup start loading files, after the load a blue screen with the sentence "reactos setup" and two red lines appears in the top and the system lights become busy. After ten minutes of business nothing have happened and the bloq num keys of the keyboard are blocked (no light) so a hang or eternal cicle must be suspected. This computer used to load 0.2.5 (no hardware changes that i know, only software ones) Hardware: Semperon 2800+ 2 Ide HDD -Linux in the second (master boot record of the computer is here) with Grub loading both Suse and Yoper.(Filesystems a bit complex layout: fat, ext2, ReiserF, swap) -Windows 98 with a screwed MBR cause on installing grub i selected the wrong HDD once and my reactos loader was overwriten with grub.(all fat) A PS2 mouse and a PS2 keyboard. Gygabyte 2004 RZ mainboard with integrated ethernet and sound. Winfast graphic card. Realtek netcard (dont remember the model). DVD writemaster CD burner polaroid Any idea? Best Regards, Lucio Diaz. ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo! Nuevos servicios, más seguridad http://correo.yahoo.es

ReactOS 0.2.7 Release is out
by Robert Köpferl 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

After a long time and some delays, the next version of Reactos is out. Reactos 0.2.7 is out on sourceforge.net, ready to download and explore. For your convenience, here's the official change log: ChangeLog-0.2.7 From ReactOS The changelog for 0.2.7 in terms meaningful to technical end-users. Table of contents 1 Generic 1.1 Overview 1.2 Main 0.2.7 Changes 1.3 Known Bugs 1.4 Translation 1 ReactOS Core 1.1 Kernel + Executive (NTOSKRNL) 1.2 Kernel Mode Drivers 1.2.1 Input Device 1.2.2 ACPI 1.2.3 PCI 1.2.4 SERIAL 1.2.5 USB 1.2.6 VFAT 1.2.7 VGA 2 Networking 3 Session Manager (SMSS) 4 Win32(tm) Personality 4.1 User mode subsystem server (CSRSS) 4.2 Kernel mode subsystem server (WIN32K) 4.3 Win32(tm) Libraries 4.3.1 ADVAPI32 4.3.2 KERNEL32 4.3.3 SETUPAPI 4.3.4 DirectX 4.3.5 Userenv 4.4 Libraries shared with Wine 4.4.1 USER32 4.5 Win32(tm) Applications 4.5.1 IPConfig 4.5.2 CMD 4.5.3 TASKMGR 4.5.4 EXPLORER 4.5.5 WINEFILE Generic Overview With the release of 0.2.7 we, the ReactOS Team, have once again gained further compatibility with Microsoft Windows. We have aligned our headers with those of the Windows SDK which gives us a greater range of driver compatibility. We have also kept ourselves compliant with the latest GCC compiler which with our new build system provides a faster and more efficient building processing. We have elected a new UI coordinator and work has begun to redo the interfaces seen by the user. Many of our advancements aren't obvious to the end user, but rest assured that the inner workings are coming together with work in USB, Plug and Play, and networking that will blow you away in our next release. Main 0.2.7 Changes * Header clean up to compatible Windows SDK headers. Implemented and used NDK. ReactOS is now built with our own headers. Alex Ionescu, Filip Navara, Steven Edwards * New My computer, Command Prompt, and Logo Icons. Mindflyer * New build system called rbuild. Based on xml, it allows for auto generated makefiles. Casper Hornstup * Improved appearance of the first stage installer. Alex Ionescu * GCC 4.x.x build fixes. Thomas Weidenmueller, Alex Ionescu Known Bugs ReactOS will fail to boot with a AllocConsole error when a ps/2 mouse is not attached on some hardware. Bug 688 (http://reactos.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=688) This ReactOS release requires 64MB RAM to complete the first stage installer.

each leave, if required. o Fix KeWaitForMultipleObjects if WaitAll was used. o Rewrote Context Switching to be faster. o Fixed KINTERRUPT structure and fixed KeDisconnectInterrupt o Fixed a bug where Kernel Queues were inserted on the Ready Thread list. * Input/Output (Io) o Implemented IoIsfileOriginRemote, IoGetLowerDeviceObject, IoGetDiskDeviceObject, IoGetRequestorSessionId, IoGetRequestorProcessId, IoRegisterBootDriverRetinialization, IoAttachDevicetoDeviceStackSafe, IoEnumerateDeviceObjectList, IoGetDeviceAttachmentBaseRef, IoDetachDevice, IoRaiseHardError o Fixed

the Safe cuntion. o Optimized IoGetRelatedDeviceObject o Removed IoOpenDeviceInstanceKey and IoQueryDeviceEnumInfo. o Cleaned up IopAllocateVpb o Optimized IoCreateDevice, add support for more flags and remove hard-coded sector size and incorrect sizes being set. o Fixed IRP Code not to zero out the IRP, free MDLs in failure cases, set the right IRP flags and set the I/O Object Type. o Reimplemtented 2nd-stage completion for IRPs to free ALL MDLs, free memory depending on the flags used, don't call I/O Completion if an APC is registered, don't set event/call APCs in some failure cases, don't use certain fields after the pointer can become invalid. o Use the right stack count in I/O Operations. o Fixed IopDeleteFile to fix a memory leak and dereference the completion port. o Fixed IopCloseFile, NtQueryInformationFile, NtFlushBuffersFile, NtQueryDirectoryFile, NtReadFile, NtWriteFile, NtSetInformationFile, IopSecurityFile, IopQueryFileName, NtDeviceIoControlFile, NtLockFile, NtUnlockFile which contained several bugs related to IRPs and completion, which were making assumptions or not supporting all the possibilities, as well as signlaing the wrong event or making the wrong kind of call, or using the wrong device object. o Implemented Lookaside lists for IRP packets to increase the allocation/deallocation speed by over 400%. o Optimized Completion Packets by piggybacking them on IRP packets if possible, and added the right memory flags to free them properly. o Share NtDeviceIoControlFile and NtFsIoControlFile o Fixed IRP cancelation. o Rewrote I/O Interrupt Functions to match new structure and optimized some code paths. * Process Manager (Ps) o Created Memory Manager (Mm) functions when toucing process/memory o Created Kernel (Ke) functins

PsGetCurrentProcessSessionId, PsSetLegoNotifyRoutine, PsRemoveCreateThreadNotifyroutine, PsGetVersion o Rewrote Process/Thread creation and exit functions. * Memory Manager (Mm) o PEB and TEB are now properly allocated in memory, allowing 4KB granularity instead of 64KB, removed all the hacks which allowed this earlier. o Implement MmCreateKernelStack and MmDeleteKernelStack o Took out many system structures from NonPaged Pool to Paged Pool to reduce physical memory consumption. o Removed pool debugging functions in retail builds to increase the speed. o Don't allorw NtQueryVirtualMemory for kernel-mode addresses. o Fixed bug in memory mapping which caused large applications to BSOD the system. o Made the PE Loader more lenient so it can load some other valid executables. * Executive (Ex) o Fixed the lookaside functions, their macros and the way the functions were being exported. o Moved Win32k Object Registration inside Win32k. The pointers and initlization is now done when Win32k loads. * Debugging Services (Dbgk/Kd) o Implemented some Dbgk code for user-mode bugging. o Implemented modular debugging services for Bochs, GDB, etc. * Object Manager (Ob) o Implemented Fast Referencing stubs. o Rewrote ObQueryNameString. o Rewrote ObjectType creation to match the structures, flags and semantics present in NT's Object Manager, from the caller's point of view. o Implemented Object Create Information structure and semantics when capturing data from user-mode, securing and removing a lot of kernel exloits. o Fixed ObCreateObject and ObInsertObject to work like on Windows. ObCreateObject only allocates the Object, while ObInsertObject does everything else. * File System Runtime (FsRtl) o FsRtlMdlRead, FsRtlMdlReadComplete, FsMdlReadCompleteDev, FsRtlMdlWRiteComplete, FsRtlMdlWriteCompleteDev, FsRtlPrepareMdlWrite, CcMdlReadCompleted, CcMdlWriteComplete, CcMdlReadCompleteDev, FsRtlAllocateResource, FsRtlIsPagingFile, FsRtlBalanceReads * Security Subsystem (Se) o Implemented SeCreateAccessState, SeDeleteAccessState, SeSetAccessStateGenericMapping based on a patch fy Javier M.

dma problem
by Hartmut Birr 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hi, it seems that the routines for allocating a dma adapter object are broken. For a pci cards, the channel is always -1. The adapter object is stored at HalpEisaAdapter[-1]. It does overwrite something. This adapter object is used for all pci cards (scsi controller, network cards, ...). Usually every pci card must have its own adapter object. - Hartmut

Hi, I need for some modifications the definitions of the resource structures (CM_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR, ..) in usetup. The structures are defined in winddk.h. It seems that it isn't possible to include winndk.h if ntndk.h is already included. I get errors like this: ... include/ndk/extypes.h:37:1: warning: "SEMAPHORE_QUERY_STATE" redefined In file included from w32api/include/ddk/ntddk.h:67, from subsys\system\usetup\usetup.h:38: w32api/include/ddk/winddk.h:342:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition In file included from include/ndk/ntndk.h:43, from subsys\system\usetup\usetup.h:41: include/ndk/cmtypes.h:23: error: redeclaration of `enum _KEY_INFORMATION_CLASS' include/ndk/cmtypes.h:24: error: conflicting types for 'KeyBasicInformation' ...
