Glad to see you got it working, It won't cause any damage, the only thing I can think of is that there might be some obscure piece of hardware that might not work without that embedded controller, I don't know of any such hardware though.

I think it's best to start XP setup again from scratch I would suggest using Easy2Boot http://www.easy2boot.com/download/ I assume you have a spare USB drive to use put my XP ISO with ACPI patched in _ISO\WINDOWS\XP

I'm thinking you might not be integrating into your XP install ISO correctly are you replacing acpi.sy_ in the \I386 folder, rebuilding ISO with nlite, then starting setup?

did you get the same A5 BSOD with that acpi.sys?

OK, Try this acpi.sys report any BSODs acpi.sy_

hmm, ACPI failed to load DDB. can you try this acpi.sys? (already cab compressed) put this in your XP ISO and rebuild with nlite if you get a BSOD, post a screenshot ACPI.SY_

Can you send a screenshot of your A5 BSOD? It will give hints as to what the error is Have you tried my ISO? It has a patched ACPI driver that should have fixed these errors (unless i've missed something)

Thanks very much

Does anyone know of an Alternative Device Manager for Win98? Preferably one that shows HWIDs? So I can know exactly which device I'm installing

We have a storahci driver for XP https://www.win-raid.com/t4035f45-Windows-XP-SP-bit-and-modern-PC-parts-60.html#msg81198 We also have ACPI working on AMD Ryzen

I think newer AMD AHCI storage controllers are dependent on ACPI to manage resources - without ACPI the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller doesn't work, so AHCI controller never receives IRQ

pressing F7 will skip loading acpi - what happens if you don't press F7?

odd - the l on the end of the link wasn't hyperlinked just copy the whole address into your address bar https://www.techspot.com/downloads/7104-cabpack.html

I use cabpack 1.4 - https://www.techspot.com/downloads/7104-cabpack.html

I'm willing to test it, I have not yet found anything else that works.

OK FreeDOS/Windows98 - ASM1061 Windows 10/Spare SSD(trying to put XP on here if I can) - 43B7 M.2 ? - 7901 ? - I'm not sure if this is correct since nothing is in the M.2 slot.

I am attempting to install XP on an AM4 motherboard - specifically an ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 my SATA controller HWIDs PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_43B7&SUBSYS_43C81849&REV_02 PCI\VEN_1B21&DEV_0612&SUBSYS_06121849&REV_02 PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_7901&SUBSYS_79011849&REV_61 I Keep getting a 7B BSOD attempting to install. any help to find a driver?

I can compile storahci sample with vs2017 for default target platform windows 10 - any tips for compiling for earlier platforms?

I can recall it worked in the past. I remember being able to use storport from server 2003 in the past on XP on an old build using an old version amd_sata driver.

Can anyone compile this storahci driver sample but target XP? https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/storage/miniports/storahci

I managed to get the USB 2.0 card drivers working, plugged in a USB mouse, now all is good.

tried a zowie usb mouse, similar misbehavior from that too. Oh well, If I make any progress on getting this to work i will update.

I grabbed an old PS/2 mouse, and it wouldn't even work in the BIOS! why?! I thought PS/2 it should at least work in BIOS. I've look everywhere in BIOS, the only option I can see is PS/2 Y-Cable I've tried auto and enabled (no disable option?) - made no difference PS/2 mouse won't work, might be dead USB mouse works fine in BIOS any alternative to the vmouse.vxd driver anywhere?
