Hello, I've downloaded ReactOS (Install CD ver 0.3.0 REL)
It boots and starts loading ntoskernel but it seems that loading this file or something keeps my CD-ROM reading and reading, and never stops (until reboot with reset button )also the display shows a black screen...
I've also tried the Live CD but it does the same.... it shows the loading screen, and the CD-ROM has the same problem...
He said it's the release. But even that is unstable. My first question is did you set the boot sequence correctly to look at the CD first. Second, try burning another CD. Sometimes bad burns will screw things up.
Of course I set the boot sequence to boot CD-ROM first...
The Install CD loads the blue screen which is similar to WinNT's method to install it shows that is loading ntoskernel but after that the screen becomes black and the CD-rom's led blinks as if it were reading, but nothing happens, I waited 10 minutes (as much as my patience let me... )
I also tried the last SVN LiveCD debug and it doesn't work
Maybe there is an special hardware setup, maybe I have to have my HD connected to an exclusive IDE or my CD-ROM?
I don't know ... I tried with an Emulator it works well. but too slow for an PII computer...

Are You sure: only ntoskrnl.exe ?
Are there no drivers loaded after that ?

Perhaps You get a different result when booting from HD rather than from BootCD - but I don't know.
Maybe there's code differences ..
After ntoskrnl.exe comes HAL.DLL
Probably there is a BUG inside ?
Don't You have a more actual PC ?
You can try - without damages - to boot with BootCD up to "Welcome to ReactOS Setup" so You can see what should usually happen ..
it is built from older parts, and its AMD its not turned on atm and i dont feel like getting my brother up to check it. but its at least from 2001 or before.

If You are not able to exactly describe the hardware of your PC, how should anyone analyze possible (hardware depending) bugs ? Reporting Your bug this way doesn't help to solve the problem.
)also the display shows a black screen...
