Hey guys...

[Richard Campbell]

I'm re setting up my ROS dev environment, after a format/reinstall, and 
i'm encountering the following problem under both QEMU and ReactOS:

While booting from the livecd or the bootcd i get an inaccessible boot 
device error.  The HD partition on VMWare is a FAT32 partition formatted 
in win98, the partition in QEMU is an unformatted partition.

Any idea on how to fix this?

[Richard Campbell]

Here is debug from the livecd, can't get anything from the bootcd 
though, since it doesn't use freeldr not sure how to change the debug port

You're probably using binutils 2.15.91. There's a bug in there that prevents
ReactOS from booting. Revert to binutils 2.15.90.

Gé van Geldorp.

[Richard Campbell]

Ah yes, that's the problem:

GNU ld version 2.15.91 20040904

BTW as mingw 3.2 is going to include this, are we going to work around 
this or just recommend that users don't use binutils 2.15.90?

I assume you meant "don't use binutils 2.15.91"....
Don't think there's a workaround so we'll have to tell people not to use
that one. 2.15.90 is ok, so is current binutils CVS.

Hi

I got a Directory with my version of Reactos i compare with the online SVN version
But It where no problem with the CVN version because files where only changed when they
where
updated

Now this is everywhere

/* $Id: mdl.c 13036 2005-01-13 23:47:10Z blight $ *\

And the file isn�t changed at all� ? Is it because when u update u touches all of the
files but
only update one it bugs me a lot also because Reactos now fill 240 Mb. instead of 60 Mb.
And it
takes a compare tool a lot of time if it also shouldn�t care about the top..

I modified/added about a 10-14 MB of code myself and therefore it�s hard to se when it�s
only the
top theirs changed �The Version� and nothing more and can�t really see why updating the
vesion and
not the file itself their can be no logic reason for that

The latest update of tool
This file llmosrt.c and some more caused large errors http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~pje/
Because it tries to remove memory there are in use and it give me a lot of trouble when
making the
bootcd and livecd think some just update the files from the web page without thinking.. ?

Livecd Cant really use it because all files trying to write contents on the livecd and I
think its
really hard to fix so all the files get written on a local hard disk or in memory so why
really
have this could only use it for presentation or alike� you cant have apps running
specially not
when Reactos comes to and working state..

2.15.90 is no longer on the MingW website.  MingW 3.1 comes with 
2.13.90, which does not work correctly when compiling ROS.

Any idea where i can get a version that DOES work?

Hi,

have you checked this one: 
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1.tar.gz?download

I downloaded it correctly yet.

That is 2.13.90.  It does not work.  GvG posted a link above.

By the way i believe this should be posted on the developers page.

But that is 2.-->13<--.90 which had some problems too iirc. ReactOS needs
2.-->15<--.90

[AzeemArif]

Please forgive my intrusion in this topic and speaking before knowing 
the complete details about your discussion.
But I'd like to add that I downloaded the latest utilities to setup 
MinGW environment to compile ReactOS and everything works fine for me.

binutils : 2.15.91
gcc-* : 4.3.3-20040217-1
MinGW: 3.1.0-1
W32api : 3.5

But have you tried to boot from the resulting .iso image? There are a lot of
reports that it fails with INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE when you use binutils
2.15.91.

You are right.

Currently I am debugging and asking people on the forum about "

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" problem. I did not know it was because of toolchain.

When I said "everything is fine" in my last mail, I meant
"compilation".

Sorry for wasting your time

[Richard Campbell]

GCC 3.4.2
Binutils 2.15.90

are my versions.  Seems to be a bug in windres

Sorry,

I thought you weren't able to download 2.13.90, not 2.15.90. But as I 
said I just downloaded these binutils and they work for me good.
