Update: the installation also hangs with 64M ram, but less frequently
Hi, I have some serious problems with the installer in
Bochs (v2.1).
I've created a 500M hd image, and started installation from the ISO-Image
with 32M ram. The installer created a partition and formatted it without
any problems. However, the installation hangs then, usually during
"Building the file copy list...", sometimes also later, after having copied
about half of the files.
With 64M ram, the installation finishes successfully, but after rebooting,
freeldr complains about missing "ntoskrnl.exe". Investigation with mtools
shows, that during the installation the files are copied onto the harddrive
correctly, but after the importing of the registry, they are somehow
removed, and explorer.exe and regedit.exe appear directly in c:\reactos
instead of bin or system32.
