Hi all,
it seems this case is not as dramatic as it seemed first (to me).
to repeat my earlier steps, I downloaded and installed
kernel-master.zip and country.zip; edited config.bat to
COMPILER=OWWIN, compiled and the resulting kernel.sys booted as it
should.
BUT: when I edited config.c, and again BUILD the kernel, UPX throws
some errors and the resulting kernel.sys does not boot.
after
del*.obj /s
and
BUILD
the resulting kernel works again.
2 more things:
in config.sys,
!screen=0x12
is ignored (other options not tested)
I have INITDISK.C that will detect and
mount GPT partitions if available.
FAT partitions on GPT disks are fully 'normal' drives.
to be discussed, and I have no strong opinion here:
shall FreeDOS kernel detect and mount
a) all partitions on GPT disks, or
b) mount only partitions on GPT disks, that are 'basic data
partitions'
c) make this behaviour patchable using SYS CONFIG GPT_MOUNT_ALL=1
Tom
