ReactOS gdt limit

[Henning Schild]

Hello ROS dev-team,

i am currently working on qemu/kqemu and found that ROS sets the gdt
limit to 0x800. At least this is what i see in qemu, i did not check
ROS source.

This may or may not be a problem.

For all i can say ROS was the only of many different OSs that triggered
the check in my setup. I may be wrong and wont investigate this any
further. Just wanted to let you know.

I used this version:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/reactos/ReactOS-0.3.4-REL-qemu.zip

and that are the values i saw:
base = 0x808bdac0
limit = 0x00000800


regards,
Henning

The IDT Limit should be 0x7FF, and the GDT limit should be 0x3FF.

I believe ReactOS sets the IDT Limit incorrectly, and perhaps the GDT  
as well.

Hi Henning.

This has been fixed in r33007, it will be in the next release (0.3.5) or you
can try a trunk build if you're brave : http://www.reactos.org/getbuilds

Thanks for taking the time to report this.

Regards,
Ged
