This new BootCD contains the functionality of both the original bootcd
(text-mode 1st-stage installer) and the livecd (that will include the
1st-stage GUI installer later).
Our separate livecd ISOs become obsolete, and this completely removes
the need for the so-called "hybridcd" ISO.
Some details:
- The "hybridcd" build target is completely removed, since now the new
BootCD *is* basically what we used to call "hybridcd".
- The "livecd" build target is kept so far (to minimize the code changes),
but internally I start to refer to it as "LiveImage", and is reduced
to a minimum.
A minimal non-bootable "liveimg.iso" is built (but currently not
included within the BootCD). Its purpose will be to implement the
"ReactOS Live" functionality as a RAMDISK.
(We currently don't support other file formats apart from ISO and
flat disk for a RAMDISK).
The "ReactOS Live" (non-RAMDISK) is implemented by adding to the
BootCD file tree the files from the LiveImage.
These files add two root directories, "Profiles" and "reactos"
(which is the SystemRoot for the non-ramdisk LiveImage).
- The minimal text-mode ReactOS installation used for the 1st-stage
installer, including USETUP itself, and the executable for the
1st-stage GUI installer and the reactos.cab (installation source),
are moved to the root directory called "i386" (ideally, one directory
per architecture).
- The "bootcdregtest" target, i.e. the ISOs we feed our testbots with,
are left untouched, i.e. they are only constituted of the 1st-stage
text-mode installation only, but placed in a per-architecture root
directory ("i386", etc. as for the bootcd).
- Remove the ACPI APIC/SMP entries from bootcd.ini. They will be made
available via the Advanced Boot Options F8 menu in Debug builds, for
testing purposes only, in a subsequent commit.
This commit is based upon an older SVN one:
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=75273
And slightly improve the search loop.
- Unconditionally look into the root directory as well, in order to cover
all possible boot disk layouts in case someone customizes the ReactOS
boot media layout.
- Improve the `InfOpenFile()` call error handling, in order to show the
erroneous line _iff_ the call failed because of a wrong syntax in
TXTSETUP.SIF . Distinguish it from a failure because the file doesn't
exist in the source path being tested (in which case, no error is shown).
The legide.sys driver, introduced in commit ae2827f481, is compiled *ONLY*
for the x86 platform (not x64 nor the others) as specified in commit 7d33f7503b.
Fix the file installation copy by moving its entry into the x86-specific section.
Addendum to commit 7174935d73 (PR #8888). CORE-17256
Import the following upstream commits:
30a807de7d76dbc244c3afb1d55817da286c78245477b93a3b
which contain new supported devices added in inf file and two bugfixes from me, which fix all playback distortions with all XP-compatible HD audio codecs.
Tested and works fine with Realtek HD audio codec R2.74 on ALC660 controller at least, but it still needs to be tested with other codecs as well (like SigmaTel etc.).
Also update the commit hash in 3rd party files.txt appropriately.
In order to make the notify object interfaces available to the component interface, the TCPIP notify objects initialization needed to be rewritten. The Initialize method must retrieve the information for all network interfaces from the registry and the SetContext method selects the interface that will be modified by the RaisePropertyUi method. This is required to make the PropertyUi interface optional. The notify object can now be initialized and used without conflicts with the PropertyUi interface.
I also improved the ApplyRegistryChanges and ApplyPnpChanges methods. They have improved checks property changes, e.g. only changed properties are written to the registry.
TODO:
- Fix the alternate configuration and filter settings.
- Do not use fixed sized property string buffers.
- Improve checks for changed properties.
bootcdregtest installs ReactOS into "c:\Windows", therefore the old detection method of checking the "Windows" directory no longer works.
A previous change tried to fix this by adding "|| IsReactOS()", but that resolves to CConfiguration::IsReactOS(), which simply returns m_IsReactOS.
Use ::IsReactOS() instead to get our versionhelper function.
Implementing missing functions...
JIRA issue: CORE-19278
- Add _SHMergePopupMenus and
SHLoadPopupMenu helper
functions.
- Implement
CDefFolderMenu_MergeMenu
function in utils.cpp.
- Add function prototype into
<undocshell.h>.
Implementing missing features...
JIRA issue: CORE-19278
- Implement LinkWindow_RegisterClass
function by using "superclassing".
- Add prototype to <undocshell.h>.
- Move definition of USER_SHARED_DATA from pstypes.h to ketypes.h
- Add missing definition of KI_USER_SHARED_DATA for ARM64
- Remove definition of KI_USER_SHARED_DATA_PHYSICAL
Fix KiWriteSystemTime and move it to NDK. The previous implementation of KiWriteSystemTime was broken and updated the fields in the wrong order. Before that it was right for SystemTime and wrong for InterruptTime. ExpSetTimeZoneInformation had it wrong for the TimeZoneBias.
Add KiReadSystemTime to read KSYSTEM_TIME values correctly, instead of doing it manually (and partly wrongly) all over the place.
The code is using the conforming version, but _CRT_NON_CONFORMING_SWPRINTFS was defined, which caused it to crash. After removing the definition, MSVC throws a warning about an invalid argument for the format string, so fix that as well.
After merging the new ATA driver, FreeLdr complains about not being able
to load legide.sys. Fix that by adding legide.sys driver to txtsetup.sif
so FreeLoader can load it.
