Hello,
Recently I've been trying to figure out why I am unable to load ReactOS. I am being stopped each time when ReactOS attempts to load the miniport driver. I believe the problem is that DISPLAY1 is not being expanded/pointed to some real file. I assume somewhere in the boot process that ??\DISPLAY1 is supposed to link to somewhere. I am using CVS (synced from 09/29/2004) and am wondering if any of you guys can take a look at the debug log and tell me what i'm missing.
The debug log [around 80k] is here:
http://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/093005
I have also posted my hive files if they are relevant:
http://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hivecls.inf http://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hivedef.inf http://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hiveinst.inf http://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hivesft.inf http://home.pe.net/~dsmith/ros/hivesys.inf
I am open to trying any patches or enabling debugging on any additional files to help out. Currently, the following modules are enabled for debugging support:
ntoskrnl\ke\main.c ntoskrnl\io\create.c ntoskrnl\ldr\init.c subsys\csrss\init.c subsys\win32k\ldr\loader.c subsys\win32k\objects\dc.c
I have tried copying the file vbemp.sys to E:\DISPLAY1 but I got the same debug log. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks in advance,
Devin Smith

Right, it's a symlink to the video device object that is created by the video (mini)port driver.

Clearly no video miniport driver was loaded here...there's no mention neither "vgamp" nor "vbemp".

These hives look ok. How do you build the registry (or install the reactos binaries)?

I have the hive files in a temporary directory and install them using mkhive. Like this:
mkhive c:\temp d:\reactos\system32\config
All of the binaries and other files were taken from my build of CVS and copied over to the other hard drive. I looked at the structure of the LiveCD and then extracted the files from my own build to the appropriate locations to match the LiveCD layout. I am currently not able to install ROS from CD (Last I tried was 0.2.4). Since some changes were made for 0.2.5-CVS in freeldr, I will try installing from CD again when I am able to obtain new CDRW discs.
