Hi, thanks to Damien Guibouret the problem with file corruption in kernel 2039 finally seems to be resolved. I collected some more changes and bug reports and fixed them. This includes the problem with writes to write-protected disks failing silently without error.
I think it might be a good idea to release a new 2040 kernel. If nobody else does it within the coming 2 weeks I'll do it myself. In the mean time: An SVN source tarball can be obtained at: http://freedos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freedos/kernel/trunk/?view=tar An 8086/FAT32 OW1.9 compiled kernel.sys binary for testing at: http://dosemu.org/bart/kernel.sys 2011 Apr xx - Build 2040 -------- Jeremy Davis, Bart Oldeman + Changes Jeremy * r1501 sys/sys.c: correct return value from NULL to FALSE - fix compile with OW1.9 * r1500 docs/sys.txt, sys/sys.c: handle case when source not specified but filename for boot sector is given (sys X: bootfile.bin) + Changes Bart * r1568 kernel/asmsupt.asm, mkfiles/owlinux.mak: Make sure the DOS native and Linux cross-builds produce identical binaries. * r1567 drivers/rdpcclk.asm,kernel/{asmsupt,entry,irqstack,kernel, nls_hc}.asm, kernel/makefile: Remove useless END from nls_hc.asm, add explicit byte overrides for older versions of NASM for more compact code, and adjust silent relocation segments. * r1565 sys/sys.c: Change // to /* comments for Turbo C compatibility. * r1564 kernel/dosfns.c: If handle valid, close file in PSP table before the low-level close + (perhaps) critical error. Avoids closing the file twice (and hitting the critical error twice) on abort/program termination. Also, close can only return error 6 (DE_INVLDHNDL), not 5 (DE_ACCESS), see RBIL. * r1563 kernel/task.c: From Christian Masloch: set flags to 0x200 (IF set) when transferring to int22 termination address. * r1562 kernel/fatfs.c: Check errors for callers of dir_write and shrink_file. Fixes: Bug: File creation does not check whether buffers are written correctly (http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=9783) * r1561 kernel/blockio.c, kernel/fatdir.c: No longer force flush1() and dir_write_update() to return TRUE if there were disk write errors. Part 1 for fixing http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=9783 Bug: File creation does not check whether buffers are written correctly * r1560 kernel/kernel.asm: Enlarge clock and block driver stacks. Thanks to Damien Guibouret <[email protected]>. * r1559 kernel/fatfs.c: Fix value that is used before being initialised. This lead to a drive to not be considered as FAT32 despite it is (or vice-versa). Thanks to Damien Guibouret <[email protected]>. * r1499 kernel/makefile: With the stack changes the DOS segment has moved to 0x79. * r1498 kernel/irqstack.asm: New irqstack.asm: irq 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15 now use the IBM interrupt sharing protocol for STACKS. Affect int 2 too, but not IRQ 7 (INT 0fh) and IRQ 9 (INT 71h) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
