<Font size=+1 Face=Verdana>7/15/2002 Update:</font><p><ul>
|
||||
Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

|
||||
<DD>"Why is an understanding of how a BIOS works so important? The basic reason is that the information returned by INT 13H AH=08H is used by FDISK, it is used in the partition table entries within a partition record (like the Master Boot Record) that are created by FDISK, and it is used by the small boot program that FDISK places into the Master Boot Record. The information returned by INT 13H AH=08H is in cylinder/head/sector (CHS) format -- it is not in LBA format. The boot processing done by your computer's BIOS (INT 19H and INT 13H) is all CHS based."<p>

|

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

|

<DD>"The LX format was developed by myself [that is, Edd] (at IBM) as the new and improved flavor that was hoped to be common between OS/2 and Windows NT. However, the guys at Redmond were still changing the format around in quite significant ways and IBM shipped OS/2 using the LX format.<p>The whole idea was to create something that was oriented towards performance on an Intel platform, using 4096 byte paging. There are page tables in the LX format and the process of 'loading' (whatever that means to the various people who may be reading this) would consist only of reading in the header and page tables. Actual execution would result in page-not-present faults which could easily use the page tables to load that actual page of code or data from the binary file. In addition, the file size seems to be about one half of the size of the same object modules re-linked into the Microsoft PE format." - Thanks to <a href="mailto:doutre@acm.org">Edd Doutre</a> for the corrected summary!<p>

<DD>"In the good old days most of the programs had many files. That was a simple and convenient way for storing the necessary data. But the time quickly ran forth and a new tendency appeared: the single EXE method. This is more difficult to deal with (from the coders' point of view), but it's also more elegant. So this article discusses some system coding, which is important in a demo, but quite invisible."<p>

<DD>"The LX format was developed by myself [that is, Edd] (at IBM) as the new and improved flavor that was hoped to be common between OS/2 and Windows NT. However, the guys at Redmond were still changing the format around in quite significant ways and IBM shipped OS/2 using the LX format.<p>The whole idea was to create something that was oriented towards performance on an Intel platform, using 4096 byte paging. There are page tables in the LX format and the process of 'loading' (whatever that means to the various people who may be reading this) would consist only of reading in the header and page tables. Actual execution would result in page-not-present faults which could easily use the page tables to load that actual page of code or data from the binary file. In addition, the file size seems to be about one half of the size of the same object modules re-linked into the Microsoft PE format." - Thanks to <a href="mailto:doutre@acm.org">Edd Doutre</a> for the corrected summary!<p>

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and

our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up

and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for

the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

|

<DD>"Cryptographic file systems provide little protection against legal or illegal instruments that force the owner of data to release decryption keys for stored data once the presence of encrypted data on an inspected computer has been established. We are interested in how cryptographic file systems can be extended to provide additional protection for such a scenario and we have extended the standard Linux file system (Ext2fs) with a plausible-deniability encryption function. Even though it is obvious that our computer has harddisk encryption software installed and might contain some encrypted data, an inspector will not be able to determine whether we have revealed the access keys to all security levels or only those to a few selected ones. We describe the design of our freely available implementation of this steganographic file system and discuss its security and performance characteristics."<p>

In order for the filesystem to support multiple concurrent requests, we develop admission control algorithms for determining whether a new request can be accepted without violating the realtime constraints of any of the requests."<p>

|
||||
<DD>"Cryptographic file systems provide little protection against legal or illegal instruments that force the owner of data to release decryption keys for stored data once the presence of encrypted data on an inspected computer has been established. We are interested in how cryptographic file systems can be extended to provide additional protection for such a scenario and we have extended the standard Linux file system (Ext2fs) with a plausible-deniability encryption function. Even though it is obvious that our computer has harddisk encryption software installed and might contain some encrypted data, an inspector will not be able to determine whether we have revealed the access keys to all security levels or only those to a few selected ones. We describe the design of our freely available implementation of this steganographic file system and discuss its security and performance characteristics."<p>

In order for the filesystem to support multiple concurrent requests, we develop admission control algorithms for determining whether a new request can be accepted without violating the realtime constraints of any of the requests."<p>

|

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

<Font size=+1 Face=Verdana>7/15/2002 Update:</font><p><ul>
|

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

<DD>"Expanded memory is memory beyond DOS's 640K-byte limit. The LIM specification supports up to 32M bytes of expanded memory.

<DD>"XMS allows DOS programs to utilize additional memory found in Intel's 80286 and 80386 based machines in a consistent, machine independent manner.

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

The threads are lightweight enough so that they can be created quickly, there can be thousands present, and synchronization can be accomplished rapidly. These goals are achieved by providing user threads which multiplex on a pool of kernel-supported threads of control. This paper focuses on scheduling and synchronizing user threads, and their interaction with UNIX signals in a multiplexing threads library."<p>

<DD>"This tutorial covers a range of topics that provides the user with a comprehensive view of virtual memory. The tutorial begins with the motivation for virtual memory and a brief historical perspective. The user is then given the theoretical basis for virtual memory and its effect on system performance. The module covers hardware implementation of virtual memory, observations of program structure and behavior that affect memory management, page replacement algorithms, performance factors in a multiprogramming environment, and virtual memory as it used in common real systems." This is an interesting tutorial on some virtual memory techniques... the layout of the information is especially interesting... :)<p>

|
||||
<DD>This tutorial is intended to teach the fundamentals of symmetric multprocessing using Intel MP compliant hardware. This tutorial is not intended to be a complete explanation of how to implement an SMP-capable operating system, nor as a replacement for Intel's documentation, but it does cover some interesting entry level aspects to SMP OS design.<p>

|
||||
<DD>This article leads the reader through an in depth discussion of the FreeBSD VM subsystem. It thoroughly explains the design decisions and tradeoffs made as well as the implementation goals and platform portability problems that were run into. This is a very interesting article for those just starting a VM, because it highlights many important issues that need be thought of...<p>

|
||||
<DD>"This tutorial covers a range of topics that provides the user with a comprehensive view of virtual memory. The tutorial begins with the motivation for virtual memory and a brief historical perspective. The user is then given the theoretical basis for virtual memory and its effect on system performance. The module covers hardware implementation of virtual memory, observations of program structure and behavior that affect memory management, page replacement algorithms, performance factors in a multiprogramming environment, and virtual memory as it used in common real systems." This is an interesting tutorial on some virtual memory techniques... the layout of the information is especially interesting... :)<p>

|

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

|

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

|
||||
<DD>"This Plug and Play BIOS Specification defines new functionality to be provided in a PC compatible system BIOS to fulfill the goals of Plug and Play. To achieve these goals, several new components have been added to the System BIOS. Two key areas that are addressed by the System BIOS are resource management and runtime configuration.<p> Resource management provides the ability to manage the fundamental system resources which include DMA, Interrupt Request Lines (IRQs), I/O and Memory addresses. These resources, termed system resources, are in high demand and commonly are over-allocated or allocated in a conflicting manner in ISA systems, leading to bootstrap and system configuration failures. A plug and play system BIOS will play a vital role in helping to manage these resources and ensure a successful launch of the operating system."<p>

|
||||
<DD>"This specification presents a mechanism to provide automatic configuration capability to <i>Industry Standard Architecture</i> (ISA) cards thus enabling full Plug and Play in the PC. The essential elements of Plug and Play ISA are:<p><ul><li>Isolate the ISA card<li>Read the card's resource data<li>Identify the card and configure its resources<li>Locate a driver for the card</ul><p>The mechanism has the flexibility to allow cards to come up either inactive or active. Cards required to participate in the boot process typically come up active. Information that identifies the card and describes the system resources which are requested by the card, such as memory and I/O space, DMA channel, and interrupt level supported is maintained in a standard read-only format. This allows the Plug and Play software to identify system resource usage, arbitrate conflicts, and, optionally, re-configure a card. This process is done automatically at every hard reset of the system. Plug and Play ISA cards will inter-operate with standard ISA cards in a fully compatible manner.<p>Possible BIOS extensions required to support Plug and Play ISA cards are also discussed in this specification. However, user interface issues for installation of device drivers are not addressed."

|

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and

our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up

and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for

the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

|

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

<DD>"The purpose of this specification is to describe a methodology by which the BIOS will identify all IPL (Initial Program Load) devices in the system, prioritize them in the order the user selects, and then sequentially go through each device and attempt to boot. The BIOS must become more intelligent about booting because the Plug and Play BIOS Specification places additional requirements on the BIOS during the boot process, and there are now more devices that are bootable such as CD-ROM, network remote boot, PCMCIA, etc."<p>

|

<DD>"This guide will attempt to describe partitioning, boot sequences, and the programs which manage them on the Intel 80x86 platform. Perhaps the simplest way to explain partitions and the bootup sequence is to start with simple cases, and add complexity as needed. We will start with a single-OS setup, and proceed to more complicated examples."<p>

The BIOS must become more intelligent about booting because the Plug and Play BIOS Specification places additional requirements on the BIOS during the boot process, and there are now more devices that are bootable such as CD-ROM, network remote boot, PCMCIA, etc."<p>

Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP and
|
||||
our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back up
|
||||
and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry for
|
||||
the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)<p>

<P>
|
||||
<UL>Well our upgrade officially did not go well at all. Apache 2.0.x hates PHP
|
||||
and our new hard drive crashed and did all kinds of bad things. Nondot is back
|
||||
up and running on it's old drive, and OSRC seems to be working again. Sorry
|
||||
for the interruption, thanks for all of those who let me know! :)
