ROS installer scribbled over my ext2 partition :-(
by Christof Petig 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hi, I decided to give 0.2.6 another try on my hardware and tried to install it into a small fat32 partition (4th primary partition). The repartition program did not recognize too much of my partition structure but since I did not plan to change any partition I was not alert. Then I formatted the partition (simply using the existing fat fs did not work at all) and that did not work either. Unfortunately another partition was affected (it killed the root directory of my i386 (=32bit) linux partition /dev/hda6). I did not find any valuable data lost so far (after reconstructing the filesystem) ... To spare other users this unpleasant experience I would love to investigate this problem a bit further: fdisk -l gives me: Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 914 7341673+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 915 4743 30756442+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 4744 7175 19535040 5 Extended /dev/hda4 7176 7296 971932+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda5 4744 4865 979933+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6 4866 7175 18555043+ 83 Linux And the ROS installer recognizes: 19077MB unpartitioned space 7170MB NTFS C: 17592186024390MB unpartitioned space 957MB --- T 130 18120MB --- T 131 D: 949MB unpartitioned space so it looks really confused. Hardware: Fujitsu/Siemens Amilo 1630 AMD64 3700+ Christof PS: I was unable to start the system I copied from a qemu installation over to the partition via grub+freeloader (no error output at all). So I suspect that not only the installer is buggy. PPS: My partition table in hex: Device: /dev/hda 0x000: EB 48 90 D0 BC 00 7C FB 50 07 50 1F FC BE 1B 7C 0x010: BF 1B 06 50 57 B9 E5 01 F3 A4 CB BD BE 07 B1 04 0x020: 38 6E 00 7C 09 75 13 83 C5 10 E2

reactos.com available again

28 Apr '05

Yesterday reactos.com crashed. Unfortunately, I was unable to go onsite to fix the problem yesterday. This morning, I rebooted the box and everything seems to be up and running again. It seems some mail sent to @reactos.com yesterday may have been dropped. Ge van Geldorp.

Mouse Problem on 0.2.6 RC2 and Qemu
by David Leinbach 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Hi Everyone, I just downloaded the 0.2.6 RC2 packaged with Qemu and gave it a try. On the first boot up everything seems fine as I go through the initial setup however after the reboot at the end of the setup the mouse acts very strange. Simply moving the mouse causes the cursor to jump around and act as if buttons were pressed. This appears to be an issue with the packaged version of Qemu as running with the 0.2.6 RC2 disk image under the version of Qemu included with 0.2.5 works fine. Also, I tried the disk image with Qemu 0.6.1 as downloaded from http://www.freeoszoo.org/download.php and did not have the problem. I am running on Windows 2000.
