FreeDOS kernel - implements the core MS-DOS/PC-DOS (R) compatible operating system. It is derived from Pat Villani's DOS-C kernel and released under the GPL v2 or later. Please see http://www.freedos.org/ for more details about the FreeDOS (TM) Project.

C. Masloch 977023f85c boot: fix Int10.0E expected not to alter al (SBC188)
Reference: https://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=16934

The SBC188 video ROM-BIOS handling returns with al=0Ah (LF)
upon interrupt 10h function 0Eh calls that scroll the screen.
This made the FAT12 boot loader crash when booting FreeDOS
off a 1440 KiB diskette. While a fix is expected from their
side too, hardening the loader too is the right thing to do.

With the way this fix is implemented by this commit, it only
needs one additional byte for the loader. The error message
changes from "Error!." to just "Error!", other than
that the behaviour is the same.

The FAT32 loaders already used zero-terminated strings and
thus were not affected by the dependence.

fd kernel

FreeDOS kernel - branch from 2042 SVN 0xFD kernel

http://www.fdos.org/kernel/

The FreeDOS kernel implements the core MS/PC-DOS (R) compatible functions. It is derived from Pat Villani's DOS-C kernel and released under the GPL v2. Please see http://www.freedos.org/ for more details about the FreeDOS (TM) Project. Compiled kernels ready to use (just copy kernel.sys over an existing install) are available at http://www.fdos.org/kernel/testing/git/ - also available are the source archive and fdpkg compatible packages.

This version of the kernel is intended only for 8086+ or 80386+ IBM compatible computers in continuation of the goals of the FreeDOS Project. Please see http://www.fdos.org/kernel for my 0xDC kernel that is work on merging back in some of the original portability aspects and other supported features at the cost of some compatibility with older hardware/software.

Build Status Now with automatic builds and soon tests on Travis CI
