HDD: IDE/SATA with minimum 450 MB of free space on the primary partition (please note that some SATA controllers may not work with ReactOS):.

Processor: x86 or 圆4 architecture, Pentium or later and compatibles for more information see ReactOS ports.

RAM: at least 64 MB, recommended 256 MB, and even 2048 MB if you want to test large software suites or bundles.

The minimum requirements to install ReactOS are: Lists of particular hardware that have been tested can be found on the page Supported Hardware.

HD Audio or use of multiple audio cards at the same time are not yet supported, ReactOS versions and builds prior to 0.4.12 will not boot after setup with this configuration.

the setup utility can check the integrity of ONLY FAT16 and FAT32 file systems.

the boot partition is highly recommended to be the first partition on the first (or even better - single) disk in the system.

some SATA controllers may not work with ReactOS.

UEFI system firmware is not supported by ReactOS yet, you have to use legacy BIOS mode.

the setup utility does not prevent users from performing dangerous and potentially destructive operations.

The ReactOS itself, setup utility, and boot loader have a number of limitations. For the details see Known Issues.īear in mind that this is not a complete list of known issues. ReactOS is alpha level (or alpha phase) software. These include how ReactOS will be installed, limitations of the installation, and backing up existing data. There are several things to be made aware of before installing ReactOS, or even obtaining the installation media. 4.6 Network boot or installation via PXE.

* Startup drivers: Lots of ACPI.SYS and PCI.SYS entries listed before any other drivers being mentioned once.

* Device Manager: not tested due to above issue, yesterday's ISO showed lots and lots of double entries. * Shutdown: not tested due to above issue, yesterday's ISO worked fine, shutdown worked fine. Tried increasing memory to 1000MB, same issue remains. * Phase 3: stuck at Loading Your Personal Settings and no mouse movement. Gecko/MSHTML seems to install just fine, no download needed. Anything lower and you're stuck at Detecting Devices or an empty screen instead of progressing to ReactOS Setup Wizardĭebug screen seems to be a few MB off: reporting 109MB (instead of 111 or 112) on a 112MB system.

On even lower amounts you might see issues reported by FreeLoader and driver loading On 36MB system memory it will choke on caching/copying NTOSKRNL.EXE (which is 8MB filesize or so?). * Startup drivers: Lots of PCI.SYS entries listed before any other drivers being mentioned once.ĪCPI Uni-processor HAL (not sure if this is used when booting USETUP, but no differences for phase 1 at least) : Lots of PCI bus devices/entries and PCI bridge devices/entries though. Initial shutdown message box is real ugly ('reactos is shutting down') * Shutdown results in AT/XT-like 'it's safe to turn off your machine now' instead of ATX-like behaviour. Not seeing Add New Hardware dialog for soundcard (and whichever the other device was) anymore though. * Phase 3 boots OK, requires 60MB at least (or empty desktop). Gecko downloaded externally, even though it should be present on the ISO? Not tried VMware Install, as I doubt it was adjusted for the changed ISO layout of VMware Tools Rebooting again, I see PCI.SYS being loaded about 20 times. Oddly enough I get stuck on the 'Gecko not found' screen and a single system freeze I can't reproduce. Any lower amount and you're stuck at Detecting Devices instead of progressing to ReactOS Setup Wizard.

Debug screen correctly reports 71MB (XMS) found.

On 36MB it will choke on caching/copying NTOSKRNL.EXE. Non-ACPI Uni-processor HAL (VMware workstation 7.1 圆4 on Windows 7 Ultimate 圆4, 32bit single-processor virtual machine) : Odd enough, searching Bugzilla for the keyword 'ACPI' didn't come up with much at all. I'd also like to suggest setting the DEBUG entry of FreeLoader to default so people see the amount of memory that's recognised (usually X-1, thus all extended memory listed instead of all memory) and which drivers are loaded.Īnd default video settings offered in the USETUP list set to 1024x768x32bit ( 60Hz ? ), especially for detected emulators. Before filing some bugs, I'd like to see if other people are experiencing the same issues as I've found in testing revision 53399 (72MB download, thus Cmake?) which contains an (optional but default) ACPI hardware abstraction layer.
