Damnation

@Dietmar The problem might not necessarily be in the DSDT, it could be in another table. If you hook up a windbg session can you get it to a BSOD before it resets?

@Dietmar Got past the F7 BSOD to 7E BSOD now. storport_8102_7e.7z

@Dietmar Any luck with debugging this?

@Dietmar I'm starting to think that replacing security_cookie with random value as @Mov AX, 0xDEAD suggested on his github might not be sufficient to get passed F7 BSOD?

@K4sum1 Fair enough.

@K4sum1 Just use XP integral edition.

@Dietmar I was unable to find any PDB symbols for the 8118 beta build of storport, but I did find them for the earlier 8102 beta build. Can you debug this when you have the time? The F7 BSOD I'm sure is because of security_check_cookie function, but the subsequent 7E BSOD isn't so easy. I'm hopeful you will find a way to get passed it like you did with the ACPICrackPRT function before we had the source. storport_6_2_8102_test.7z

@Dietmar I got an F7 BSOD - I think I forgot to patch the security cookie.

@Dietmar@George King Hi Guys, I was wondering if either of you would be interested in testing out storport.sys of windows 8.0 beta 8118 in XP? I think this is the last version before PoFx functions got implemented. I added stub KseRegisterShim (just returns invalid parameter) and stub KeQueryUnbiasedInterruptTime (just returns KeQueryInterruptTime) to ntoskrnl extender for this. I was curious to see if we could get TRIM working over NVME with this or some other additional functionality. Assuming it doesn't BSOD. Any interest in testing this out? storport_6_2_8118_test.7z

@Dibya So this would be like an NDIS extender? Similar to the existing ntoskrnl extender?

@Dietmar Hi, Can we test if glendronach NVME driver can run on XP? https://github.com/smokingpc/glendronach

@gordo999 Cool.

Out of curiosity, how is exkernel.dll supposed to work?

@GD 2W10 It depends on which functions the audio driver depends on.

@gordo999 Check what error code the USB 3.0 controller is giving you in device manager.

@gordo999 When you loaded the XHCI controller driver did it at least prompt you to install the USB 3.0 hub driver? If not, then we'll need to debug but, If it did then it should just be a matter of loading the hub driver and then USB 3.0 should work.

@gordo999 Regarding your Windows 7 not working with USB, are you using x86 or x64 Windows 7?

@kocoman ACPIRangeValidatePciResources is in my windows 7 acpi.sys - maybe you didn't load the PDB symbols?

@Slim Shady We don't have 2003 R2 x86/x64 source code, we have 2003 RTM.

@UsefulAGKHelper I don't think that'll work, that's just changing the names of things isn't it? In bootdata.c I think the USHORT VGA_640x480[] code will need to be modified, but I don't know how it works.

I did get the amd64 version of bootvid.dll to build in the XPSP1 tree. I'm not sure how to change the resolution from 640x480 to something else though.

@UsefulAGKHelper 32bit or 64bit bootvid.dll?

@bob_smith "Unknown Device" - It could be that this device is not your graphics card, is there anything listed under Display Adapters?

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD @Dietmar I was doing an experiment merging ntoskrn8.sys with the main kernel, since I wanted to add in extra Zw* functions that make use of internal KiSystemService function. I don't think this approach worked though.

@bob_smith Yeah, that would have something to do with the issue. Not sure about this one though, try disabling IRQ steering?
