bug in freeldr?

[Hartmut Birr]

Hi,

something has changed in freeldr. If freeldr founds a problem (missing 
driver) it  shows a message box with an OK button. Since some days, it 
isn't possible to continue with pressing the enter key.

I tried to reproduce this by removing \reactos\system32\drivers\atapi.sys
and then booting. The message box shows up, and I can dismiss it using the
enter key. This is with SVN head freeldr.

Some funny stuff seems to be going on with freeldr. Lately, it sometimes
hangs on my real hardware test machine when starting to load NTOSKRNL.EXE.
It will hang for any number of boots, and then all of a sudden start working
again. I've tried to pin it down, but have been unsuccessfull so far.

Same behaviour here, Im using reactos daily without acpi.sys to avoid system shutdown
when I click on "log off" on my real computer. I have no problem to dismiss the message box.

I'm able to reproduce that now. Actaully it not only doesn't continue 
after pressing the ENTER key, but it also crashes the VM software when 
running under VMware. I'm not sure what exactly causes it, but it 
appeared when I recompiled a kernel to use 3GB...

It also does the following to me, sometimes:

- QEMU crashes if I leave it open too much
 - Sometimes corruption appears
 - Keys don't work

I use 2GB.
