Hi Folks,

Sonmeone is having trouble and it's up on one of the yahoo sites:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090730064519AAdKTRN

Can someone here have a look at the question and tell them about drivers and
config.sys?

Thanks.

[Freedos-kernel] FYI

2009-07-31 Thread Pat Villani
I've been seeing reports of FreeDOS crashing on machines it's installed on.
I've also gotten some direct email from people about applications that ship
with FreeDOS and then there are problems.  I guess with the wider use of our
little projects, we'll see and here more of these.

What I'm doing personally is trying to get in touch with the HP folks who
use our OS.  I'd like to see if we can work more closely with them.
Hopefully, we'll avoid some of the issues before the machines are shipped.

I'll keep folks posted of any developments as they happen.

Pat

Pat, I am having him/her go into bios  make sure that booting from cd
as well as the boot order are set properly. If that doesn't help, then
we've gotta modify the boot iso, which is gonna be fun, especially
since I don't know his/her expertise level.

I wish I knew how to do all the stuff u guys do. My eyes just glaze
over in admiration. Where did yall learn to do all this stuff? But I
can surely do this. , as I said, it's the least I can do for yall.

Have a really blessed day!

Pat, as a forencisist, I can tell u that the hp bios is pretty
problematic,  that may be where some of the difficulty lies.

[Freedos-kernel] Kernel 1495 brief test

2009-07-31 Thread ibid_ag
Hello all,
I've tried the 1495 automatic build (OW, 8086, FAT16) and there are no
_major_ regressions--in other words, the standard stuff still works.  It
is bootable via grub4dos (have not tried any native boot sectors yet), and
here's what I've loaded (or run):
JEMMEX
LSL (NETWARE 16-bit)
RTEODI
ODIPKT
HDPMI32
HXLDR32
FreeCOM
ARACHNE (I have not gotten internet working)
  -but that's off-topic
EDIT
VDE

Not tested so far:
GEM (XM or Open-)
CTMOUSE (doesn't work w/ Synaptic touchpad)
Brett's USB drivers (usbuhcil works on my laptop)
Working PE for HX
JAM (SHOULD BE TESTED-SFT changes)
Stacker (PC-DOS  OpenDOS)
NLS- I don't use it
Disk utilities of any sort

[Freedos-kernel] Drivers compilers

2009-07-31 Thread ibid_ag
Eric:
Thanks for telling where to find the minimal OW--versions are 1.3 (16bit
targets), 1.7a (not downloaded), and 1.8 DOS only--20+ megs (I think-not
downloaded).
(Also on the page--DJGPP small versions; to kernel builders: IGNORE THESE)

For what it's worth, Borland C++ 5.5 may not be able to build the kernel;
it seems to be 32bit only (Win32s supported, HX-compatible, reputedly
supports RTM32).
Does OW support -1, -2 optimizations (186/286)?

Other compilers (unsupported):
bcc (prerelease, .COM/ELF output, ...)
Desmet C (buggy included libs, bad at optimizing--but 3rd party FOSS
optimizer, GPL, we have our own libs for the kernel)
MARS C (similar to OW in features, free, but don't know license)

Could we include an ANSI C binding as a starter for new bindings?

Pat et al.:
The cd driver issue sounds like it may be a SATA drive
(GCDROM/XGCDROM/UIDE(JR) needed):
NO IDE/ATAPI drives found (XCDROM fails to load)
FDCD001 not found (SHSUCDX finds no drives)
 How soon is FreeDOS 1.1 coming out? A new boot floppy image would
probably fix it, if it includes the right drivers.


?nnnDEVICE=JEMMEX.EXE
?nnDEVICE=UIDEJR.SYS /D:FDCD001  ;If I recall correctly

Thank you,
Ibidem
