Re: [Freedos-kernel] TDSK volume locking failure
Hi Bart, Just a note that the 2032 kernel fails volume locking on the tdsk.exe turbodisk device. mov bl, CurrentDosDevice; 1-based current device xor bh, bh ; lock level 0 mov cx, 084Ah ; category / lock logical mov ax, DOS_IOCTL SHL 8 + BLOCK_DEVICE_IO int 21 I get ax=0, no carry with kernel 2034rc. Doesn't seem like a problem to me. Thanks Bart. I'll give it a try under the 2034rc kernel. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

[Freedos-kernel] FORCELBA Kernel option
Folks, Could someone briefly explain the function of the kernel's FORCELBA option? The command shown by sys.com is Always use LBA if possible. So I suppose I'd like to understand why or when the kernel would not use LBA when it's available? Is it, for example, a matter of not using LBA if the BIOS is not using it, even if it is supported by the system's drives? In which case, what has been people's experience with this option? Thanks very much --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

If a partition isn't marked as LBA (with the partition id) then the kernel will uses CHS, unless it's beyond cylinder 1024. This is because some TSRs like to hook int13 and expect DOS to use the old int13 CHS style calls. If you don't like the somewhat inefficient LBA-CHS (by the kernel) and then CHS-LBA translation (by the BIOS) you can set ForceLBA.
