W7 LOADER 0.91 ============== CHANGES FROM 0.90: * Incorrect checksum issue in some cases (thanks tuvi123) * Several bug fixes relating to table relocation CHANGES FROM BETA 8: * Tiny correction to an error check * Re-added a couple of lines of code that got removed by mistake * If R/XSDT cannot be extended, the next table is moved to low memory. If this isn't possible, full relocation method is used. Fixes Mac Pro activation issues and other activation problems. CHANGES FROM BETA 7: * Write-protected XSDT/RSDT tables are relocated (Dell, HP, etc.) Simulated in VBox and on my PC this works, but not tested in real world yet. May need tweaking. * Installs new tables and SLIC to lower memory if needed * New ACPI locating code; conforms to spec now (oops) * Removed some debug messages that could sometimes appear during successful boot (still visible in --debug) * Still better SLIC placement (ongoing tweaks) * Couple of small errors fixed from beta 7 * Added forced alternative loader mode (--alt) for testing. Access this from the recovery menu. * Fixed rare checksum-correcting bug (another oops) CHANGES FROM BETA 6: * Simplified debug output for easier debugging * All fatal errors wait for a key press before continuing, so you can read the error! It helps... :) * Detects write-protected RSDT/XSDT (Dell, HP, etc.) (currently no fix, just exits) * Better table extending code (+ fixed bugs) * Better SLIC placement in some cases CHANGES FROM BETA 5: * Locates more ACPI tables accurately now (sleep fix?) * Fixed handling of table positions * More checks CHANGES FROM BETA 4: * New feature: forceful mode. Tries to activate on systems where some checks don't complete successfully. May cause problems. Access this from the recovery menu. * More fine tuning CHANGES FROM BETA 3: * Fixed bug: potentially not enough internal table storage * Internal change: OEM data correctly copied from SLIC (Daz) * Recovery menu bug fixes; also now red CHANGES FROM BETA 2: * More verification and safety checks * Fix for Hazar's odd computer :) Thanks Hazar! * Full recovery menu included (see below)) * Adjusted SLIC information for easier updates CHANGES FROM BETA 1: * Alters the RSDT table in the same way as the XSDT table * Many more pointer checks to reduce crash likelihood * Optimised menu.lst
