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.

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:

And the ROS installer recognizes: 957MB --- T 130 18120MB --- T 131 D: 949MB unpartitioned space
A closer look at this data turned out that I really selected my linux partition to overwrite :-( [type 131, 18GB] so no problem here (besides that ROS is unable to find its partition and boot from it).
It looks like the "unpartitioned space" corresponds to the W95 FAT32 partition I intended for ROS.

Are You sure that You've creates the partition for Your installation? Setting partition type is not sufficient.
The partition is accessible from linux and XP as vfat32 and I copied a freshly installed ROS over there. So my question is mostly:
How can I get ROS to boot from that partition (Setting up grub+freeldr (as described in the wiki) does not work for me here). Note: I do not want to change the rest of the boot setup (Multiboot: Linux/amd64/Ext3 on 2nd prim part, XP/NTFS on 1st prim. part., ROS/VFAT32 on fourth prim. part, 3rd prim. part contains an extended partition which holds swap and Linux/ix86/Ext3)

There was a bug in the multiboot code (used when you use grub+freeldr) making this combination suitable for booting from the first primary partition of the first harddisk only. I fixed that bug last week but backed the change out because it caused other problems. I think those other problems are solved now so I'll re-apply the bugfix for multiboot shortly.

So, if I understand correctly, I should simply replace freeldr.sys by one out of a binary snapshot (if such a beast exists) next week and try again ;-)
What about ROS installer displaying a totally wrong partition list (see above in this thread)? Should I file a bug? [Actually this lead me to select the wrong partition by not checking that carefully (the extended partitions did show up but the primary partition following the extended did not)]

Yes, it was, thanks for resending.

I've sent you a fixed freeldr.sys.

Now it says ntoskrnl.exe not found (which is an improvement to no error at all).
Perhaps I see a partition bug (which is difficult to say if you don't have an OS to display the table).
How would I specify the kernel to be found in hda4 (fourth primary partition) \ReactOS\system32\ on the freeldr command line, freeldr.sys is found on this partition. Do I have to activate that partition?

well, freeldr.ini seems to be the right place, but partition(4) gave me:

I'd try partition(3). I think FreeLdr will skip the /dev/hda3 partition 'cause it doesn't recognize the filesystem on it. That would give the following partition assignments:
partition(1) /dev/hda1 partition(2) /dev/hda2 partition(3) /dev/hda4 partition(4) /dev/hda6
(skipping /dev/hda3 and /dev/hda5). This partition skipping thing is far from obvious, but I think it was put in for Windows compatibility reasons.

Thank you, partition(3) did indead work.
Now I have some gdi problems (a null pointer reference in gdi initialization) is there any way to get errors/SEGFAULTS into a file (no I don't have a serial port). I'll try to specify plain VGA (still investigating)

Now I have some gdi problems (a null pointer reference in gdi initialization) is there any way to get errors/SEGFAULTS into a file (no I don't have a serial port).
Adding "/DEBUGPORT=FILE" to the appropriate "Options" line in freeldr.ini should do the trick.
I'll try to specify plain VGA (still investigating)
There was a problem in svn end of last week manifesting itself at the switch from character mode to GUI mode. If your svn checkout is from around that era I'd suggest updating to svn HEAD.

I did not find a single file, how is it supposed to be named?

I'm still using 0.2.6 - time to try (cross-)compiling myself?

Not sure if this limitation exists any longer, but it used to be that you could only install ReactOS on the first primary partition of the first hard disk in the system, and that it *must* be of type FAT16 or FAT32.

This limitation really hurts if you do not plan to use ROS exclusively on that computer (e.g. if you do not want to throw XP away completely or you already use a first primary partition for linux).

ROS and XP can share the same partition. It just cannot be NTFS. You can always move partitions around.
And yes, while the limitation "hurts," that's a workaround that you can use. Short of editing the source code, I'm not sure if there's much that can be done. I'll cc: this to the dev list and ask if the limitation still is there, but I personally don't see anything about it having changed. Consider that ROS is still in "early" stages of use/release. 0.3 hasn't even been released yet. I am sure that when the partition/fs code is better able to deal with multiple partition setups, it will all work as it would be anticipated it would.

ROS and XP can share the same partition but if you are booting without Grub then the bootloader code can't. NTLDR will have to exist on one partition while while FREELDR will require another.

Not totally true. You can place the FreeLdr boot sector into a .bin file, and use NTLDR to boot it, just as you can do with DOS or Linux.

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.

Thanks but XP and Linux recognize the partition table nicely. So it should not be corrupted.
