Halting/Restarting a BSP

[Lyric]

The boot process of Windows XP runs in a completely transparent to the user . However, this mechanism is hidden behind several processes, that in some cases when a missing file , hardware problems , File corrupt ... can prevent starting Windows. For the average user , understanding this process it does not help , by cons for computer know the different stages Windows boot can better target the source of a problem and thus to solve more effectively.Can anybody know that Halting/Restarting a bootstrap processor. Please suggest.

There are numerous options in the BIOS refresh . Understanding the concept of cooling it is necessary to know the operation a dynamic memory. A dynamic memory is composed of a multitude of capacitors that lose their charge over time , that is to say that the memory is progressively ... memory. It needs to be refreshed himself with small electrical pulses coming recharge the capacitors. These pulses have a duration of about one millisecond , or time in a computer is identified in relation to the clock frequency.

The second bootloader could be rightly called the kernel loader ( or Bootloader ). Indeed , the duty of the second program is to load the Linux kernel (an obligation) and the initial Ram disk ( which is optional ). The combination of the first and the second program is called either Linux Loader , (LILO ) or GRand Unified Booloader (GRUB ) in x86 environment . Due to a number of problems that were fixed LILO to GRUB , we look only GRUB.

The BIOS default works alone and engages in a specific order (again the same , with few minor variations ) , the steps. It also allows a primary configuration of devices in a dedicated menu that keyboard command . This feature is now used mainly to solve problems of compatibility / recognition , conflict between hardware or to overclock some components of the computer processor.

The kernel then starts the process SMSS , Windows is a process , it is responsible for managing sessions on the system ( creation, management , and deleting sessions users) .
SMS execute the values contained in key HKLM \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Session Manager \ BootExecute.
This value can contain a command to run the CHKDSK that checks for errors on the disc. SMSS loads the contents of key HKLM \ Sat, HKLM \ Sat \ security , and HKLM \ Software, then the key key HKLM \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Hivelist which gives the paths of files. (DATSAM SECURITY , SOFTWARE , SYSTEM and file NTUSER.DAT) which contained the Windows registry hives

Most current Linux distributions , including those with whom we worked using Grub as bootloader, ie a program that can be loaded and executed from the BIOS to support the program starts too complex to be activated directly by the BIOS. The main interest of Grub from its competitors is a great configuration flexibility. Simply by editing an ASCII file, you can describe the characteristics of each system housed on the mass storage available. This file will allow the options enabled by the choice of the system to boot via a user-friendly menu . seen a Linux system started, this configuration file is generally accessible by the road / boot / grub / menu.lst.

Following his own load, the kernel also performs initializations that exist primarily to make him even a minimal inventory available devices for its own fonction is to say, essentially, (s ) Processor (s ), RAM, the device mass . This is its only task will be to start a first process to be the father of all the following processes until system shutdown . In the case of a Unix -like system this process often called init take care to turn to continue the boot process and startup.

The BIOS: everyone has already seen , at first start , a PC spends several seconds off her alarm clock, switched to the input stage of the bootloader . Curiously , despite dramatic progress in the micro computer , this step has not changed , it has even deteriorated in some cases and the action of a current PC BIOS is not faster than that of PC ten years ago , or even twenty years ago . The only practical solution today is completely replacing the BIOS shipped with the PC as another is not expected to alter the BIOS in place . Project coreboot (Previously LinuxBIOS ) is an alternate BIOS which by its nature is open customizable according to his need which can lead to an acceleration if you disable some features that take time but it was no use .
