ROS from 2004 Oct won't see my USB stuff (KB & mouse)
by Ralph Shumaker 13 May '05

Do the newer versions of ROS work with keyboards and mice that are USB? If not, what future version is targeted to have that?

Freeldr GRUB and the installation process
by Romain HERAULT 11 May '05

11 May '05

Is it possible to have a third option in the installation process when it comes to freeldr? As you can load freeldr.sys from GRUB, this option will install freeldr without modifiing the MBR. By this way, GRUB users don't have to mess around with a MBR backup process, which can be quite dangerous for common people. Romain

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

Questions about debugging ...
by open.proyects＠gmail.com 07 May '05

07 May '05

Hi list, I am having "problems" with debugging support. I have my build environment in Windows. I set up gcc/g++/nasm ok and i'm building last SVNs without any problem. I'd like to debug some code and i am getting in problems here. I test vmware with the following results ... VMWare (config => KDB=1, DBG=1) ----------------------------------------------------- * DEBUGPORT=COM1 BAUDRATE=115200 => CRASH, FREEZE!!! * DEBUGPORT=FILE => REBOOT Can we debug ReactOS with VMWare ? How can i update the ReactOS files in a QEMU's .img file ? Thanks in advance!

Any chance ReactOS SVN repository appears in the list on the left? http://newweb.akbkhome.com/svn.php (Firefox 1.0.x required for the XUL application to show up) ____________________________________________________________ 6X velocizzare la tua navigazione a 56k? 6X Web Accelerator di Libero!
