Had to make a few minor changes to the preboot hooks patch to get it to build in r2106. I have also incorporated your mmap services patch as well (again with minor mods to build in r2106). My question at this point, is how best to incorporate mmap services into drivemap. I see that in mmap/i386/pc/mmap.c there is some sort of support for int12 and int15 services. Should I incorporate the drivemap int13 handler here ? Looks relatively straightforward -- just insert the asm handler into mmap/i386/pc/mmap_helper.S and update mmap/i386/pc/mmap.c -- (except for how I place the mapped drives table), or, should I use the mmap.c code as a template for the drivemap int13 handler plus mapped drives table ? thanks for any help/suggestions, John phcoder wrote: > I haven't yet looked in depth in drivemap patch but it has some > problems.
