I have used wim2vhd to make a vhd file to boot from. I'm planning more vhd machines based on the same OS(windows 7 ultimate) Can I have one "Master-VHD" witch contain the os, and smaler "Child-VHD"'s that inherit from the master? Or is this not possible in this scenario? HW OS : Windows 7 Ultimate (6.1.7600 Build: 7600 ) ...
Following up on the "How do I code and compile an Amiga application?" question, what development applications and build process is required to boot an Amiga application from a floppy disk? Update: Pointed out by jesup, taken from Amiga RKM Devices: The Amiga trackdisk device directly drives the disk, controls the disk motors, re...
I need to made available a library to some bundles. This library makes use of RMI, so it needs (as far as I know, at least) to use the system class loader in order to work (I tried to "osgi-fy" the library, which results in classcastexceptions at runtime). So what I did was to remove the dependencies from the bundles that use that librar...
Hi all- I feel like I'm monopolizing the stack for Scala/Lift, so I apologize, but the questions keep coming. Here's the latest. I'm trying to restrict access to anything in the /login/* to those users who have not yet logged in. Here is how I'm trying to do it: val entries = Menu(Loc("Home", List("index"), "Home")) :: //login stuff...

I try to understand os bootstraping process. Some questions are not clear to me. One of them is : How does bootstrap code in Volume boot record know about absolute LBA address of 0 sector of patition where Volume boot record resides? ...
Hey I'm actually interested in how an OS works, from the POST over the Boot process to the Kernel, GUI, etc. Well I have to start at the beginning: The bootsector Most tutorials only specify how to get your .bin bootstrapper onto an USB stick for Linux users. But as I'm using XP I would like to ask how do I get my 512 byte .bin onto ...
Managed to create a simple bootloader... and with VESA 2.0 I managed to change the resolution to 1024x768x32, also managed to setup a Linear Frame Buffer... Where can I find tutorials for using the frame buffer? Like lets say to display a picture before it finishes to load? So far I saw one sample on how to "draw" an ipod...called CdPod...

Is there any "Boot session ID" or (reliable) "Boot timestamp"? For an installation I need to detect that a scheduled reboot took place indeed. I guess I could do a dummy MoveFileEx() with MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT, but i did hope for something easier. (We have to install a 3rd party package that sometimes behaves erratically after ...
Hello! I have some kinda basic question to the boot process of a computer and the part where the bootloader calls the OS. So I know that the BIOS copies the first 512 bytes from a bootable drive into memory and executes the code - so that's the boot block. But how does that small assembler boot bootloader the commands from the OS? Do...
I've already done a part of my OS in Assembly, but now I want to build a own bootloader for it too instead of using GRUB. When I was developing my test OS in Assembly I remember that I boot it like this: org 0x7c00 bits 16 ; OS Kernel Here times 510 - ($-$$) db 0 dw 0xAA55 This I've already know. Now I want to use this and execute t...
Hey, I have been given a general explanation of how a computer boots up. However a very loose definition to the term 'boot file' was given. Could someone explain 'boot file' to me in a very simple but concise manner? I have read about the POST, the clearing of registers, BIOS in the CMOS, etc. What I understand is that the boot file is...

Could someone guide me on what path/steps to take to create a simple bootable hello world program? I have the basic knowledge of C/C++. My aim is to create a very simple OS. I would like as much relevant links to references and samples as possible. ...

I would like to dynamically allocate memory from the machine_init function in my arm linux kernel. Calling kalloc can result in a complete failure of the system to boot. My debugging tools are very limited so I can't give much more information regarding the failure. Simply put, is it legal to call kalloc from a machine_init function in...
My problem is like this (OS is Sun Solaris): 1) At the boot time I want to start a process using a specific script. I am doing this by putting this script in /etc/init.d (and following other K and S rules) 2) The program which will be called by the script is located at $HOME/xxx/yyy location. 4) I am using 'su - {myuser} -c "{full pat...
