Automated tests on Real HardWare + USB-trunk tests

[Jan Blomqvist Kinander]

It is time to get automated tests made on real hardware up and running.

I have started a project to get ReactOS to run on a FUJITSU SIEMENS ESPRIMO E5925 (wich
already installs and runs from CD and HDD) however, to get automated tests going we need
to be able to script stuff and feed it with iso:s, this I have planned to do with Intel
AMT / vPro technology. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Technology
). 

The goal is to have all builds tested on real HW and to get ReactOS to be a usable system
for real HW to be able to kill as many bugs as possible and make different HW setups to
work. This will be unnecessary before we go beta in the future.

I have a bunch of debug lists from this actual HW, made and added links to them below,
some of them are from the USB-trunk branch.

Ros should be able to do PXE boot, isn't that sufficient?

[Jan Blomqvist Kinander]

PXE does the job only for installation but not for testing after that, then we need SOL to
be able to do more then just install.

Hi there,

this is one thing where i can be useful :)

i have a Pentium I storing dust here, and i wonder i i could set it up for
automated real hardware tests.....

yeah, i know its a too slow system, but.... more than nothing :)

To get a system that autimatically installs every build we need to be able to control
on/off, reboot, boot-list and ability to boot from ISO, either by PXE (network boot) or
IDE-R (redirected IDE (ability to boot from an ISO-file on the network)), to be able to
test more then just install we need some sort of scripting possibility like SOL (Serial
Over Ethernet)

I would encourage you to use regularly download the latest build from
http://reactos.org/getbuilds/ and burn it to a CD-RW and hook your old computer to your
newer with a serial cable and record your installation log on your new computer with a
terminal program like RealTerm http://realterm.sourceforge.net/ and then post the results
to someone willing to deal with it on the irc channel or on the ReactOS-Dev mailinglist.

This crash is consistent for ROS not finding cdroom. Is it sata or ide? how is it
connected?
