Stas'M
@sumionduty ^
Sumi Bleckie
Also be reactos developer.
Stas'M
I want to participate
what is your area of interest, maybe some components? also which idea you'd want to implement on GSoC? 🙂

Finish Kernel. UEFI main line, Video Calls
Sumi Bleckie
GPT support
Stas'M
^ cc @extravert34: you said something about UEFI some minutes ago :)
Sumi Bleckie
Means the whole video subsystem
Sumi Bleckie
Bcs im Graf dev guy
Sumi Bleckie
This is my main line for first
Victor
Sounds cool)
Victor
Regarding uefi, the main thing is that we don't have any part of it working)
Victor
No bootloader, no HAL support and no GPT support

Yep I had a look at the bootloader
Sumi Bleckie
And those comments, UnImplemented, I cry)
Victor
Yep I had a look at the bootloader
https://github.com/reactos/reactos/tree/master/boot/environ
This is an effort to implement bootmgr way of booting reactos
Victor
Started by Alex Ionescu

There are two ways to make uefi boot: finish Alex work or implement it ontop of current freeloader

Finish, that's my idea
Sumi Bleckie
Finish with these: BlStatusPrint(L"FATAL ERROR IN ROSLOAD: %lx\n", ErrorCode);
Sumi Bleckie
L"...

What with debugging?
Sumi Bleckie
That's just a dream
Sumi Bleckie
Yet
Sumi Bleckie
What about debugging
Sumi Bleckie
Bcs I was watching the Build tool
Sumi Bleckie
There is some helper things
Stas'M
/reactos Debugging
FailsBot
Search results for "Debugging"
1. Debugging
2. Debugging/es
Sumi Bleckie
Virtualbox or anything should work right?
Victor
Yep ofc
Victor
ReactOS supports windbg
Sumi Bleckie
See that dll
Sumi Bleckie
And the source
Victor
But for bootloader there is only serial port output)
Sumi Bleckie
It connects in the standard way
Sumi Bleckie
I tried it with my gen 4 i7 laptop
Sumi Bleckie
Nothing happened
Sumi Bleckie
Native, meant
Sumi Bleckie
Sure
Sumi Bleckie
Win7 is running without dGPU
Stas'M
But for bootloader there is only serial port output)
Bootloader debugging is disabled by default... it can be changed in one define
Victor
_something_ should happen then)
Sumi Bleckie
It's a newer Asus

Freeldr dropped error at jumping to start the kernel or something I dont remember exactly
Sumi Bleckie
Neither, hdd boot or anything
Sumi Bleckie
I swapped hdd and formatted to mbr
Sumi Bleckie
I had booting XP on this so should work
rosbridge
<hbelusca> for debugging ReactOS UEFI (and its bootloader) support I would first suggest to use e.g. VMWare.
Sumi Bleckie
It's a x552
rosbridge
<hbelusca> (or some VBox version that doesn't suck too much)
Sumi Bleckie
Sumi Bleckie
I had booting Win98 from DOS even, with full UEFI without CSM

Maybe qemu is not a bad choise too
Sumi Bleckie
I dont really understand how vga calls worked from freedos, I extended memory
rosbridge
<hbelusca> then to boot that you certainly used some kind of UEFI <-> BIOS emulation translation layer.
Sumi Bleckie
Maybe
Sumi Bleckie
Not SURE its full uefi
Sumi Bleckie
Bcs there is non conventional things
Sumi Bleckie
But I examined why Win7 doesn't supp uefi class 3
