Changes in v1.7.9 (9/30/2002) (brianp)
|
|
|
|
- Fix for bug in BiosInt13ReadExtended() (biosdisk.S)
|
|
by Christophe Bothamy & Mike Lerwill
|
|
|
|
Changes in v1.7.8 (9/7/2002) (ekohl)
|
|
|
|
- Added new 'bootcd' target.
|
|
- Removed/disabled debugging code.
|
|
- SetupLdr must not call BiosInt13ExtensionsSupported to check
|
|
extended int13 capabilities because they are already used to
|
|
boot a CD and some BIOSes return incorrect results when a CD-ROM
|
|
drive is checked.
|
|
|
|
Changes in v1.7.7 (9/5/2002) (ekohl)
|
|
|
|
- fs/iso.c: Got iso-fs working again.
|
|
- reactos/setupldr.c: Implemented very simple setup loader.
|
|
|
|
Changes in v1.7.6 (8/31/2002) (ekohl)
|
|
|
|
- bootsect/isoboot.asm: Reduced read transfer size to ensure that
|
|
the read buffer for an int13/ah=42h (exended read) does not
|
|
cross a segment boundary.
|
|
- freeldr.c, bootmgr.c, setupldr.c, makefile: Renamed
|
|
LoadBootManager() and ReactOSRunSetupLoader() to RunLoader().
|
|
Either bootmgr.o or setupldr.o is used to build freeldr.sys or
|
|
setupldr.sys
|
|
|
|
Changes in v1.7.5 (8/21/2002) (brianp)
|
|
|
|
- biosvid.S (BiosVideoDisableBlinkBit): Added code to
|
|
disable the blink bit in the text mode character
|
|
attribute byte so that the full range of
|
|
background colors can be used.
|
|
|
|
Changes in v1.7.4 (8/20/2002) (brianp)
|
|
|
|
- Boot sector code now reports to freeldr.sys the partition
|
|
that it was installed on. This is specified by a byte
|
|
value in the boot sector code. By default the boot partition
|
|
is set to zero which indicates the active (bootable)
|
|
partition, unless the installer sets the value to non-zero.
|
|
If FreeLoader is installed on a partition other than
|
|
the active (bootable) partition then the installer must
|
|
set this byte to that partition number. Otherwise
|
|
FreeLoader will not be able to find freeldr.ini.
|
|
- i386trap.S: Added debug macros BREAKPOINT(),
|
|
INSTRUCTION_BREAKPOINTX(), MEMORY_READWRITE_BREAKPOINTX(), &
|
|
MEMORY_WRITE_BREAKPOINTX().
|
|
- partition.c (DiskGetPartitionEntry): Add the relative offset
|
|
of the extended partition to the partitions start sector.
|
|
- ext2.c (Ext2ReadBlockPointerList, Ext2CopyIndirectBlockPointers,
|
|
Ext2CopyDoubleIndirectBlockPointers, Ext2CopyTripleIndirectBlockPointers):
|
|
Rewrote the block pointer functions so they actually work.
|
|
- ini_init.c (IniFileInitialize, IniOpenIniFile): Looks for freeldr.ini
|
|
on both the active (bootable) partition and the partition
|
|
passed in from the boot sector code.
|
|
- meminit.c (MmInitializeMemoryManager, MmFixupSystemMemoryMap,
|
|
MmGetEndAddressOfAnyMemory, MmGetAddressablePageCountIncludingHoles,
|
|
MmInitPageLookupTable): Fixed bug that would cause FreeLoader to
|
|
have an off-by-one error when accessing the last entry in the
|
|
page lookup table on systems with 4GB of memory (or memory mapped
|
|
at the end of the address space).
|
|
|
|
Changes in v1.7.2 (8/7/2002) (brianp)

|
|

|
|
- Added '%%' format specifier to printf()-like functions.
|
|

|
|
- Changed types BYTE, WORD, DWORD, LONG, ULONG to U8, U16, U32, S32, U32
|
|
so that you know the size of the variable across different
|
|
architectures with different sized words & dwords, etc.
|
|
- Types CHAR, UCHAR, PCHAR, PUCHAR, WCHAR, PWCHAR have not been
|
|
changed yet (I haven't decided exactly how I'm going to handle unicode)
|
|
|
|
