           Summary: Configtool startup type changes don't take effect
           Product: eCos
           Version: 2.0
          Platform: pc (i386 PC target)
        OS/Version: HostOS: Win NT/2k/XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: normal
         Component: ConfigTool
        AssignedTo: jld@ecoscentric.com
        ReportedBy: jifl@ecoscentric.com
         QAContact: ecos-bugs@sources.redhat.com


This is with a freshly installed eCos 2.0 installation on Windows XP. Just
bringing up the configtool and changing the startup type works if you do it
before saving the configuration, and doesn't work correctly if you do it after
saving.

To reproduce, bring up the config tool. It defaults to the PC target. Change the
startup type to FLOPPY and then save as config "justfloppy". Now restart the
config tool (to be sure there's no state left), "Save As..." the config to
"ramthenfloppy". And then set the startup type to FLOPPY and save again.

At a cygwin shell do a "diff -urN" between the install trees. They should be
identical but they are not, and in fact MLT files are still given as RAM in the
"ramthenfloppy" version, thus breaking everything!

See the attached file for the install tree differences, and note the existence
of a file __libcdl_file1 in the ramthenfloppy_install/include/pkgconf directory
that does not exist in "justfloppy". This file is the correct version of
system.h, but for some reason it did not replace the system.h.
