Re: [edk2] [PATCH 1/1] IsaFloppyDxe: fixed timeout

It\s funny to see someone bothered about a floppy. Anyway I think EDK(?) should have some way to not wait for seconds or minutes for unsupported or absent devices. IDE DVD - timeout 35seconds even no disk inserted Bluetooth - 28seconds to wait even no devices found to pair Floppy - ? even it is ab

Re: [edk2] [PATCH 1/1] MdeModulePkg/ScsiDiskDxe: introduce a Pcd for maximum blocks transferred by Read10/Write10 commands

Ops! I missed this change. BTW Do I understand correctly and ACTION_RETRY_WITH_BACKOFF_ALGO (or better returned SectorCount value) is not saved anywhere. So, every IO starts from: ScsiDiskRead10, ACTION_NO_ACTION if (not Fail) done then repeat ScsiDiskRead10, ACTION_RETRY_WITH_BACKOFF_ALGO unt

Re: [edk2] [PATCH 1/1] MdeModulePkg/ScsiDiskDxe: introduce a Pcd for maximum blocks transferred by Read10/Write10 commands

Yes, the behavior you described is correct. It's mainly because it's hard to know if the SCSI/ATAPI device always couldn't handle big data transfer or just for this single request. Thanks Feng -Original Message- From: Mike Maslenkin [mailto:miha...@parallels.com] Sent: Wednesday, May

[edk2] The UDK 2014 html documentation is busted.

I noticed the MdePkg HTML documentation is very busted. Would it be possible to host the .chm files on the web, so those of use with systems that do not natively support .chm can view them without an application. For example: HTML LibraryClass List: CapsuleLib CpuExceptionHandlerLib Customized

Re: [edk2] The UDK 2014 html documentation is busted.

I can try to move the .chm files somewhere else on the web. Mean time I have uploaded each .chm as a zip to download to a local directory instead of the .chm itself. Each zip can be extracted in the local machine and then viewed locally. thanks, Laurie laurie.jarlst...@intel.com
