Yes. It is normal driver with small change.PeterK wrote:Whatfor is that ?hto wrote: You can replace reactos\blue.sys on BootCD with it and try to boot.
Can I try it with the actual SVN bootCD 25399 ?
ReactOS does not run on older computers

I installed WinISO and put this blue.sys into the test-ISO.hto wrote:There is another blue.sys: http://www.5748.nm.ru/iso/test/
Use for testing with ReactOS2.iso.7z.
On both PCs (AsRock-mainboard with AMD+1500 and old one, ALI biostar-mainboard with MMX 200) the letter "T" ends up in black screen, without "invalid sync" - OKAY !
(I first tried some other letters starting from "A", all give this result = black screen, synchronized)
I was able to also test the ISO on the slow PC:
FAST pressing the letter ("A" or so ..) and then "RETURN" (when "press any key to boot from CD .." appears). So I managed to test the ISO also on the slow PC ..
Slow PC: In the moment Your input "window" appears, the keyboard does not respond anymore, no input possible (another bug ..) .. too late ..
... deleted accidenlty .. I'm sorry !

There was no changes in blue.sys last time.I first tried with actual - unmodified - release of bootCD-dbg 25399, just to be sure: still "invalid sync" (I think You would expect that .. ?)
Patch -> Bugzilla already.Then I tried this ISO with Your modified BLUE.SYS:
"Welcome to ReactOS Setup" - screen appears correctly - congratulations !
This bug is more difficult, I think. There is no indication where something goes wrong.Screen gets black and "Welcome to ReactOS Setup" does NOT appear ..
I did boot the unmodified ISO just to be absolutely sure that nothing has changed since failing ISO 24390 .. paranoid, I know ..hto wrote:There was no changes in blue.sys last time.
Too few words .. what do You mean ?hto wrote: Patch -> Bugzilla already.
Well, first thank You very much for working together !hto wrote:This bug is more difficult, I think. There is no indication where something goes wrong.Screen gets black and "Welcome to ReactOS Setup" does NOT appear ..
But, whom can I ask ? My old bug in bugzilla #1742 ("Can't boot LiveCD, error 0x00000000") does not lead to anything as I mentioned "LiveCD". And LiveCD is already broken at the moment as far as I know. (I did never test the bootCD (last summer) because I thought, well if liveCD doesn't boot why should I try installation ??!)
But it looks to me like the failure of LiveCD - on my old PCs - is also that of BootCD (I don't know what all has changed in the source code since release 0.3.0 so it may have totally different reasons ..)
What do You think - shall I open a new bugzilla bug ? Perhaps there's someone doing the debug with me as You did here on blue.sys... ?
I mean patch to blue.sys already in bugzilla. Devs should commit or reject it.Too few words .. what do You mean ?
Thank You for help.Well, first thank You very much for working together !
I think that bug is obsolete. That bugcheck in IoCreateArcNames() do not exist now.My old bug in bugzilla #1742 ("Can't boot LiveCD, error 0x00000000") does not lead to anything as I mentioned "LiveCD".
LiveCDs are broken now because OS tries to write modified registry back on CD. Installed OS can successfully write it on hard disk.And LiveCD is already broken at the moment as far as I know. (I did never test the bootCD because I thought, well if liveCD doesn't boot why should I try installation ??!)
Which one?What do You think - shall I open a new bugzilla bug ?
There's too much work and too few people...Perhaps there's someone doing the debug with me as You did here on blue.sys... ?

Yet another blue.sys: http://www.5748.nm.ru/iso/test/
Use for testing with ReactOS2.iso.7z.
It should write a letter to the screen at each stage. Try to boot with letter "U" first.

You can also try to use new setupldr.sys from that place.Slow PC: In the moment Your input "window" appears, the keyboard does not respond anymore, no input possible (another bug ..) .. too late ..
Well, something went wrong - I got again "invalid sync" with BLUE.SYS from 11.01.2007 ..hto wrote:Yet another blue.sys: http://www.5748.nm.ru/iso/test/

So I didn't try "new setupldr.sys" ...

I tried BootCD 24530 and Your bugfix is ok.
Also on broken LiveCD 24530 the ReactOS Bitmap does appear correcty now ..

As i heard, progressbar is intentionally disabled.however the progressbar on bootvid does not seem to work
I have the same problem. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1901and after a while it black screens.
Probably several bugs point in the same direction (but may not have the same reasons ..)hto wrote:I have the same problem. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1901
