ntoskrnl and safedisk

[Ivan Leo Puoti]

I won't have much time to work on this stuff for a while, so I thought I 
might as well post it here.
I've got a ntoskrnl.exe that can load, unload and initialise drivers 
successfully (Well, I've only tried with a few builds of safedisk but 
that doesn't matter), it can also dispatch io requests received from 
DispatchDeviceControl to the driver.
However safedisk fails by returning STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL in the IRP's 
IoStatus.Status member, I haven't been able to debug this because 
winedbg refuses to step trough the code properly, however I will try 
again when I have time to do so. In the mean time you can download and 
build this stuff yourself, the patch that teaches wine to interact with 
ntoskrnl is at 
http://spazioinwind.libero.it/nonsolomicrosoft/public/patch.diff , 
ntoskrnl itself is here 
http://spazioinwind.libero.it/nonsolomicrosoft/public/ntoskrnl.tar.bz
you'll also need 
http://spazioinwind.libero.it/nonsolomicrosoft/public/ntoskrnl_protocol.h 
, put it in include/wine.
A full ./configure && make depend && make is needed to build this stuff 
into wine after patching.
Comments/ideas/fixes welcome. Note that ntoskrnl isn't thread safe ATM 
and probably can't handle more than one driver at any one time.

Ivan.
