=> the same history:

****************
A problem has been detected and ReactOS has been shutdown prevent damade to your computer
the problem to be caused by the folowing file into ntoskrnl.exe
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

say my - REACTOS - she exists? or it whose to wicked joke?

ReactOS is still in alpha, and doesn't have support for a wide range of hardware. For now, it's recommended to try it inside a virtual machine such as VMWare or Qemu.

Edit: I guess I could add:
The support for different hardware will improve as ReactOS gets developed more.
As for myself, I only run ReactOS inside VMWare at the moment.
(Though I did try ReactOS once on my old 600mhz celeron and that worked..)

VIA based processors and etc have been confirmed not to work the majority of the time. I have one and I've yet to succeed in getting ReactOS to run on it.

Try the LiveCD...

Anyway i think testers needs some "sysinfo" tool to post the correct config of machines used for tests.

Personally i use the (barely legal) Hiren's BootCD.

Anyway it would be great to work with open source tools instead...

LiveCD works on my Compaq board (VIA chipset+AMD K6-III 533@550) !

Update: i found an interesting Open-Source Diagnostic Disc, hope it helps.

SVN versions are pretty unstable and currently do not work on my hardware either. But it should work on qemu, VMWare and probably VirtualPC.
If you want to run on real hardware you should try 0.3.0

Edit: livecd from svn is completely messed up AFAIK.

I installed reactos on
400MHz Celeron, SIS chipset

used livecd on
P4 2.4Ghz
SIS 651
512mb ram

it ran much faster than QEMU or VMWare.

Finally! picking up was succeeded - it Segate ST31722A and via PLE133+Celeron1000 - however with samsung-20G not works.

In this event question: - how to set most ordinary network card - RL8139 - ?

why does hardware manager not work?

half of the programs from system properties does not run!

Nice to hear you finally got it installed, generally it's a good idea to test a "final" (for example 0.3.0) release and not a trunk if you have a problem with one of them, sometimes there are bugs that keeps the trunk form working properly, these bugs is sopposed to be as few a s possible in a final release.
Next it is important it is installed on the first partition on a IDE drive and that has to be a FAT16/FAT32 partition.
That should make it as easy as possible to get it to work.
If you want a shortcut in installing drivers, dual install together with Win2k and copy the two directories c:\winnt\inf and c:\winnt\system32\drivers (NOT overwriting any present files) then you get all drivers automatically from the Win2k installation. If any of the drivers doesn't work delete that sys-file and it's corresponding .inf file and you are ready to rock!
Good luck!

...dual install together with Win2k....

Does it work for winXP?

Live CD worked on a Pentium D 2.8Ghz flawlessly
