Thank you, partition(3) did indead work.

Now I have some gdi problems (a null pointer reference in gdi
initialization) is there any way to get errors/SEGFAULTS into a file (no
I don't have a serial port). I'll try to specify plain VGA (still
investigating)

Adding "/DEBUGPORT=FILE" to the appropriate "Options" line in freeldr.ini should do the trick.

There was a problem in svn end of last week manifesting itself at the switch from character mode to GUI mode.
If your svn checkout is from around that era I'd suggest updating to svn HEAD.

XUL SVN browser

Any chance ReactOS SVN repository appears in the list on the left?

http://newweb.akbkhome.com/svn.php

(Firefox 1.0.x required for the XUL application to show up)

Questions about debugging ...

Hi list,

I am having "problems" with debugging support. I have my build
environment in Windows. I set up gcc/g++/nasm ok and i'm building last
SVNs without any problem.

I'd like to debug some code and i am getting in problems here. I test vmware
with the following results ...

VMWare (config => KDB=1, DBG=1)
-----------------------------------------------------
* DEBUGPORT=COM1 BAUDRATE=115200 => CRASH, FREEZE!!!
* DEBUGPORT=FILE => REBOOT

Can we debug ReactOS with VMWare ?

How can i update the ReactOS files in a QEMU's .img file ?

Thanks in advance!

I did not find a single file, how is it supposed to be named?

I'm still using 0.2.6 - time to try (cross-)compiling myself?

ROS from 2004 Oct won't see my USB stuff (KB & mouse)

Do the newer versions of ROS work with keyboards and mice that are USB?  
If not, what future version is targeted to have that?

Re: ROS from 2004 Oct won't see my USB stuff (KB & mouse)

Hi
ReactOS does not support USB device and which version of reactos that
will support USB are hard to say. Aleasky and some other are working on USB
support for reactos.

Re: ROS from 2004 Oct won't see my USB stuff (KB & mouse)

Version 3.0.0 is slated to have USB support (Mice and Keyboards, at least)

3.0.0 is many years away.

As for USB, I very much doubt it will be functional by 0.3. A lot of 
ground work has been done, but I think it will be somewhere between 0.3 
and 0.4 before USB mice and keyboards work.

You can find general info here: http://reactos.com/wiki/index.php/USB_Stack
And you can see what has already been implemented here:

Speak Aleksey Bragin (fireball) for more info.

Freeldr GRUB and the installation process

Is it possible to have a third option in the installation process when
it comes to freeldr?

As you can load freeldr.sys from GRUB, this option will install freeldr
without modifiing the MBR.
By this way, GRUB users don't have to mess around with a MBR backup
process, which can be quite dangerous for common people.
