See Debugging and File Bugs for more details. At the time you encounter a debug prompt (starting with kdb:>), type bt and take the photo of backtrace, then you can report it in JIRA. To debug it, you can try to boot ReactOS from USB drive again with Debug (Screen) option at the FreeLoader.

If it doesn't work, it could be either due to a bug in the kernel, USB drivers or in another place. Share 7.8K views 5 years ago Linux on VMware Workstation/Player Tutorials 2018 This video tutorial shows how to install ReactOS 0.4.7 and review on VMware Workstation/Player step by step.

Now place bootcd.iso and/or livecd.iso in the root of the disk (or whatever path configured in freeldr.ini).

Note: for detailed explanation, see Boot options Options=/DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=SCREEN /SOS /MININT /RDPATH=bootcd.iso /RDEXPORTASCD Options=/DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=COM1 /BAUDRATE=115200 /SOS /MININT /RDPATH=bootcd.iso /RDEXPORTASCD Options=/MININT /RDPATH=bootcd.iso /RDEXPORTASCD Options=/DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=SCREEN /SOS /MININT /RDPATH=livecd.iso /RDEXPORTASCD Options=/DEBUG /DEBUGPORT=COM1 /BAUDRATE=115200 /SOS /MININT /RDPATH=livecd.iso /RDEXPORTASCD Options=/MININT /RDPATH=livecd.iso /RDEXPORTASCD TimeText=Seconds until highlighted choice will be started automatically:

Now you need to write some configuration files.

Then copy a freeldr.sys bootloader from ReactOS 0.4.13 or higher.

Now you need to copy mboot.c32 and libcom32.c32 syslinux libraries to the root.

It uses freeldr.sys from the fb4591c commit.

#REACTOS INSTALL FROM USB ISO#

Notice: you may download all the required files, except iso images, in a zip-archive. Now it's time to copy some files onto it.

Click 'Yes' if you got network to download the 'ldlinux.c32' or download it manually from the netĪt this point, you should have a bootloader installed onto the drive.

Format the drive using selected options above.

Partition scheme: MBR, File system: FAT32.

Note: here, /dev/sdb1 is a partition on a flash drive Plug in the flash drive and leave it unmounted. Here is how to install it (for syslinux version 6.x): It should have a FAT32 filesystem and the Multiboot specification-capable bootloader should be installed on it.įor example, you can use syslinux. The basic idea of this method is to dump the whole unchanged iso file into memory first (make a ramdisk) and then boot from it without touching the original media.įor this method, you should prepare a flash drive first.

ReactOS feature: the iso will work even if written in a raw dd mode.

On Windows Rufus tool can be used for that.

This is an ordinary way to prepare USB, feel free to follow any guide for Windows. You cannot install ReactOS yet from a LiveCD. To run ReactOS only from USB drive, download LiveCD. NOTE: To install ReactOS from USB drive, download a BootCD, but first make sure LiveCD boots for you. If regular LiveUSB does not work for you after 2-3 tries with different USB ports, you can try RAMDISK method.

64MB RAM (256MB recommended) IDE / SATA hard drive of at least 350MB. Previously only RAMDISK method was recommended. Minimum requirements to install ReactOS CPU x86 or x86-64 Pentium or higher.

After storage stack replacement and massive memory management work (as of build 0.4.1-gb0c143c), LiveUSB started to work as intended. New USB stack by Vadim Galyant was enabled in build 0.4.13-dev-942-g88cf5b0. 2.2.3 Next common steps for both platforms.
