Windows uses the keyboard layout IDs of the Ristome, Ergo and Neo layouts for the German(IBM), German Extended 1 and German Extended 2 keyboard layouts.
This just makes it so ACPI.sys is always loaded and copied by the bootcd no matter what on amd64.
On x86 it can depend on whether we're using an ACPI hal but is set up to never boot with ACPI on the bootcd.
Win2K internat.exe uses this section.
WinXP and Win2k3 have this section.
JIRA issue: CORE-19268
- Add [KbdLayoutIds] section and add values to intl.inf.
- Add some missing "Layout Id" for "SYSTEM\
CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts" of
hivesys.inf.
Improve CTF IME customization.
Use the proper names for CTF IME.
JIRA issue: CORE-19268
- In the registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IMM", add
DontLoadCTFIME value and set it to 1.
- Delete LoadCTFIME value to avoid user
confusing.
- Rename UserIsCiceroEnabled function
as UserIsCTFIMEEnabled.
- Rename SRVINFO_CICERO_ENABLED
flag as SRVINFO_CTFIME_ENABLED.
When an NTFS partition is created with Windows and modified with Linux
(see below), the NTLDR/BOOTMGR will compare the file names ignoring the
case of the files, while FreeLdr does not and the same hack is on Btrfs
file name comparison.
This PR is necessary because the case of the file names on registry, etc.
may not always be consistent!
How to reproduce:
- Try to install Windows with NTFS and install FreeLdr on it;
- Try to modify Windows partition on Linux like creating/copying some new files;
- Try to boot with FreeLdr (it will fail if the hive file path case is different
than the actual file path);
- Try to boot with NTLDR/BOOTMGR (it will work finally reaching the desktop).
Make FreeLoader print a notice message before it passes the control
to the kernel, if kernel-mode debugging is enabled via boot options.
This can be helpful for people who may forget that they're booting
in debug mode (the default boot option also for the bootcd) and they
need to attach a debugger for the boot process to continue.
- choose VGA adapter outside of driver initialization loop
- choose primary adapter outside of driver initialization loop
- link VGA adapter to primary adapter at the end
- only set DISPLAY_DEVICE_PRIMARY_DEVICE in this function
Also mark VgaSave driver as SystemStart instead of Disabled,
so it is available if main display driver doesn't work.
Implements a couple of extra commands in IShellBrowser and adds support for the AppKeys fallback registry key (used when the foreground application does not handle the command).
Sorry this is something I had to do, I should have investigated deeper
before approving it and that's on me so ill take this over and get this
done. and credit you once again. Thank you @ILauncherDev
This reverts commit 185225a5fc.
Follow-up of #7795. This affects
boot condition of es-CR, rm-CH,
ur-PK, fa-IR, vi-VN, ka-GE, bn-IN
and my-MM users.

Use a `[Shell]` section with `DefaultThemesOff` and `CustomDefaultThemeFile`
values, specifying respectively whether to use the classic theme or a
custom one, and the complete path to the custom .theme (or .msstyles) file.
These values are compatible with those documented in the
"MS Windows Preinstallation Reference" help file
of the Windows installation CD (DEPLOY.CAB\ref.chm)
[BOOTDATA] bootcd/unattend.inf: Use the Shell/CustomDefaultThemeFile value to specify which theme to use
[DDK] Update IDENTIFY data and other ATA definitions.
Based on the MinGW header.
[FREELDR] Refactor and optimize the IDE driver.
Fix long-standing bugs, which have a negative impact on the boot stability.
- Make the driver more ATA specification compliant.
- Improve the speed of device detection.
- Remove inconsistent delays.
- Support modern hard drives with sector size greater than 512 bytes.
- Add basic error recovery.
- Move private definitions to a separate private header.
- Remove the useless AtaFree API method.
Rewrite the Ext bootsector because the older one was broken and had no compatibility with Ext4 extents.
Introduce a 3rd-stage bootsector for complex code.
CORE-14235
- Why was the previous bootsector broken?
Because of hardcoded inode size, hardcoded freeldr base address, etc.
- Why is there a extldr.sys?
The extldr.sys was introduced because the limited code space in the bootsector
prevents adding new features, such as Ext4 full extents support.
- What is extldr.sys and What does it do?
It is the helper file for the Ext bootsector and that is necessary for adding
Ext4 support. It locates the freeldr.sys file, loads it into memory and runs it.
When drawing the menu, the boot options should not be overwritten, but when clearing the screen, everything needs to be drawn, otherwise there will be uninitialized characters at the bottom. See CORE-20014.
* [FREELDR] Mark noreturn functions
