Re: [ros-general] ReactOS BSOD / Freeze on large data transfers (and CPU load?)

Greetings! I'm having some trouble with my eMail client, it seems the digest mode of the mailing list confuses it somehow, so I'll quote this part manually, sorry for that. I switched digest off now, hopefully the list will now deliver your eMails individually. :) Copying my test file to ReactOS is not that problematic, I can just boot Knoppix in the same VM, mount the ReactOS FAT32 filesystem, mount an external USB stick or something and copy it over, reboot to ReactOS, problem solved. But generally it would be nice to have stable FTP (or HTTP or SCP) transfers in ReactOS, so I kept trying different programs etc. I thought that this is such a basic thing that it just has to work! But yeah, BSOD every time. File size btw. is 668MBytes. Now the second thing is, I would like to run x264 (a H.264/AVC video encoder linked against the libav codec library for decoding) to transcode a video stream (that 668MB file). That part works for a few minutes and then crashes. If it helps I can generate logs, maybe you could tell me what exactly I could do that helps you. About that VMware Player configuration I just noticed that I gave you wrong info. I was indeed using the original setting set up by the 0.3.14 VMware image that I had downloaded. The vmx/vmxf configuration files are attached to this eMail, here are some settings beforehand: * Mem: 512MB * CPUs: 1 * HDD: 8GB * USB: Present * Display: Autodetect * OS Type: XP Pro I just tried it again a few times, and build #57337 boots into BSOD every single time using those settings on VMware Player "4.0.1 build-528992". Host OS is CentOS 6.3 Linux x86_64 in case it matters.. So if you require any specific tests or anything, just let me know. :) I might not be able to test on weekends though, as the machine I am testing on might not be available on weekends.

Hello! Thank you for your reply, I wasn't actually aware of those builds. I tried build #57337 (while I am writing this, it seems that 57338 is being released), but it went from bad to worse. While the transfer seemed to work longer than before (could be wrong about that though, not enough statistical data), it still ended with NTOSKRNL.EXE crashing. *** STOP: 0x0000001E (0xC000046, 0x808847C7, 0xF83495A8, 0x00000000) *** NTOSKRNL.EXE - Address 808847C7 base at 80800000 On top of that, trying to start Filezilla 3.5.3 now results in another BSOD of NTOSKRNL.EXE (also 0x0000001E), which did not happen in 0.3.14. Additionally, that build boots into a BSOD on VMware Player 4.0.1, but boots up fine on VirtualBox 4.2, but that could easily be a fault of my configuration, as I'm not currently using the settings from the 0.3.14 VM images, but fresh ones, as this is a different host machine now. It kind of looks like I'm not going to get my preferred software to work in a stable fashion on ReactOS, at least when virtualized.. I guess there is nothing I can do but to try new ReactOS builds every now and then? Thanks anyway!

ReactOS BSOD / Freeze on large data transfers (and CPU load?)
by Michael Lackner 19 Sep '12

Greetings! I would like to ask a question, maybe there is already an easy fix for this that I just cannot find using Google. So, I have set up ReactOS in both VirtualBox and VMware Player (4.0 & 5.0). What I am trying to do is to download a large ~700MB file using ftp.exe or Filezilla 2. Alternatively, I also tried to copy it from an ISO CD image. This never succeeds however. Either the machine just freezes or BSODs, according to bt it's something like "can't access memory at <some address>", with the error caused by the application doing the transfer. Mostly it just freezes though, especially when copying from CD ISO. So what I did then was to boot Knoppix and copy the file to ReactOS's partition offline. It's actually a video stream file. When I then tried to run my actual test (x264 video transcode), it works for a few minutes, then NTOSKRNL.EXE BSODs again, I didn't do a backtrace for that crash yet. Am I doing something specifically wrong to cause so many Kernel crashes, or is this still "normal" in 0.3.14? I mean: Is it normal to have the Kernel crash like that when just downloading or copying some files?! Thanks for any help you might be able to provide! -- Michael Lackner Lehrstuhl für Informationstechnologie (CiT) Montanuniversität Leoben Tel.: +43 (0)3842/402-1505 | Mail: michael.lackner(a)unileoben.ac.at Fax.: +43 (0)3842/402-1502 | Web: http://institute.unileoben.ac.at/infotech
