OS/4 kernel and extended KEE

(1/19) > >>

OS4User:
Started from ver 4032 OS/4 kernel will load clock03b.sys instead of clock01.sys.

Clock03b uses Extended KEE, which includes KernSetIRQ and KernEOI (http://ru2.halfos.ru/core/docs/keeOS4.html)

Clock03b contains two drivers  CLOCK$ and TIMER0$ so timer0.sys  no more needed, it will not be loaded any way even if it will not be removed from config.sys

As you may guess Clock03b has  two _32_  bit only  interrupt service routines (for IRQ0 and IRQ8).

Clock03b  has many advantages comparative to pair clock01 + timer0  -  it is based on source code from clock01 by  Tsurgaev A.V. (Цургаев А.В.)

For those who is brave enough here is a link to download and test it. http://ru2.halfos.ru/core/downloads/kernel/os4/os2krnlSVN4032_unoff.zip

A bug is fixed (freezing before switching to graphic mode)  http://ru2.halfos.ru/core/downloads/kernel/os4/os2krnlSVN4033_unoff.zip

  I gave this (4033) a try and when booting I get this error: 'File not found or corrupted: acpi4.sys'. I don't have this file (eCS 2.1). It seemed to work well for about 5 minutes, but then my desktop froze and I had to hard reset. Is there anything in particular you want tested?

acpi4.sys  is optional  -  system just will not use it.

It would be great if you could show com port log, especially at the moment of such freeze.

Nothing special just stability and working in general.
