- Move DiskStopFloppyMotor() calls into the implementations of
Boot(New)LinuxKernel() and Reboot() HW functions, and the explanation
comments in ChainLoadBiosBootSectorCode().
- Remove unneeded DiskStopFloppyMotor() dummies in ARM and PPC code.
- Use more adequate bitmask value to be sent to floppy's Digital Output
Register for shutting down its motor (based on OSDev & our floppy
controller driver).
- Add optional arguments BootDrive and BootPartition to
ChainLoadBiosBootSectorCode() so as not to modify explicitly the
FrldrBootDrive and FrldrBootPartition variables, that should remain
purely internal.
- Implement ChainLoadBiosBootSectorCode() for x64.
- Get rid of the machine-specific DiskGetBootPath(), and instead do its
job only once in the machine-specific InitializeBootDevices() (or in
MachInit() for PPC).
Cache the result of this operation into the globally-accessible
FrldrBootPath buffer. This avoids the unneeded calls to (Mach)DiskGetBootPath()
we used to do before.
Also remove the separate distinction between the PC and XBOX versions
of this functionality.
- Move the PC-specific DiskIsDriveRemovable() and DiskGetBootPath()
as well as the disk-IO-error functionality, back into the
corresponding PC-arch files.
- Simplify IniFileInitialize(), getting rid of IniOpenIniFile().
Also move the exports where they are on Windows. This was already handled correctly by MSVC and still doesn't fix the order on GCC builds, but that is a different story and shall be addressed at a different time.
They were wrongly pointing to the original target once rewritten
instead of pointing to the proper target: the device.
This notably fixes opening the MountMgr device from user
mode (to perform IOCTL calls, for instance), and might
also fix various bugs dealing with global namespaces.
This might have some various effects in ReactOS~.
This fixes the bug when VidInitialize asks for different translated addresses
and VgaIsPresent always returns FALSE either because the machine does not have
VGA controller at all (e.g. 86Duino Zero), or it does have video hardware
that is not compatible with VGA standard (e.g. Original Xbox).
The problem investigated by Stanislav Motylkov. Suggested fix by Thomas Faber.
