blight_ has a wiki to track the blockers. Alex and I have tracked down the commit that causes my laptop to fail on stage 1 of loading. it is related to i8042.sys(commit 14926). Alex has given me a patch to test help track it down more and i will assume this bug will be taken care of very soon.

- Don't try to get the length of a possibly empty string. This fixes
many menu applications (such as WinRAR). However I'm now getting a bug due to a double-free. It seems a GDI Object is being freed twice. Can anyone check this out please?
With the combination of this patch + Hartmut's patch + DBG = 0 build (and/or disabling RZ detection), Winrar runs fine again. However, pressing OK in the dialog bug causes a crash in RtlFreeUnicodeString->RtlpFreeMemory->ExFreePool. It seems the buffer is invalid. So it looks like two things have to be fixed for Winrar and other apps to work fine (Windows Commander does work now):
- Stop the GDI Object from being freed twice. This will fix the
first bugcheck and allow Winrar to work in DBG = 1 with RZ enabled. Disabling RZ is only a hack and shouldn't be used a solution. The stack trace ships the double-free routine pretty well, but I'm not well versed in win32k to fix this.
- Find out why we are RtlFreeUnicodestring-ing what seems to be an
invalid pointer.
I think if we can fix these two issues we'll have many more apps working again! I've tested Winrar 3.50 b7, btw.
