I noticed an interesting thing - I did the xp32 tests with CSMWrap described in the last few posts on the original xp sp2 files including acpi.sys and there were no problems with acpi. Today I wanted to test something, I set CSM Enabled in the bios, I run the system without CSMWrap and there is BSOD A5.
I replaced the acpi.sys outside of the running system with the ones from you - modded acpi.sys 5.2 and the system boots fine - but it seems to be related to the fact that I use winload.exe and it has a problem with the original acpi.sys - I seem to have written about it before (in 2019 and 2020) on BA about xp 64-bit + winload.exe:

Please tell me step by step, how you integrated amd-gop from that card into Bios on board of a compi,
which tool you need and can this be done for other graphik cards also
GOP not from this one but from a similar HD7450

Clover cant load the legacy VGA Option Rom at this place C0000.
Why clover? CSMWrap 1.2.1 normal load VBIOS from my AMD6450 - but in motherboard bios I have amd-gop inserted.

And now comes the most crazy part:
When I disable CSM with this card, I get black screen.
This is normal because CSM Disabled = pure UEFI and this requires GOP. Your AMD6450 card not have GOP - only Legacy VBIOS

Yes, VGA Enable 1 help boot xp32 on iGPU using normal ntldr - black screen but OS works - I have Remote Administrator installed and OS works in 640x480 4-bit (Memory Remap Enabled or Disabled):
00 01 00 - bridge to which the graphics card iGPU is connected
00 02 00 - iGPUNo need set I/O acces and Bus master 'Command (4)' for iGPU because is default set to 7 - only VGA Enable for bridge:
mm 0001003e 8 -pci CSMWrap121.efi
If VGA Enable is 0 then OS hang for some minutes (about ~3) and in WinDbg BSOD 0x4000008a:

I need to remember and practice because I don't remember exactly.
pci - list all PCI devices
For graphics card you need set register Command (4): 0007
mm xxyyzz04 7 -pci
For PCI Bridge you need set register VGA Enable in Bridge Control (3E) (the bridge to which the graphics card is connected)
mm xxyyzz3E 8 -pci
xxyyzz is PCI bus dev func of PCI Bridge device
This is example in my PC:
00 1C 04 - PCI bridge to which the graphics card is connected
04 00 00 - PCIe graphics cardmm 001c043e 8 -pci VGA Enable
mm 04000004 7 -pci I/O acces and Bus masterFor check changes:
pci -i 00 1c 04 -b pci -i 04 00 00 -b
To check bridge to which the graphics card is connected use:
devtree -b
and dh handle_number

but that on the Arrow Lake boards everything is connected to PCI-bus 0 (meaning only one PCI-bus at all).
But before, the PCI-e Graphik card was always connected to PCI-Bus 1, alone with its HD driver.
And Seabios follows this old path, but PCI-bus 1 just do not exist on the Arrow Lake board
Try set VGA Enable in UEFI Shell before run CSMWrap:

You tried other cards? Best I use is AMD HD7450 with GOP+VBIOS or AMD HD6450 only VBIOS but I insert GOP to motherboard bios and now card works also in pure UEFI
https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=471154#p471154With this cards works all - passthrough in VMware ESXi or virt-manager QEMU KVM, XP 64-bit in pure UEFI, XP 32-bit with CSMWrap

Gigabyte B860 DS3H with 245k cpu and 32 Gb ram
With a PCIe Radeon R5 card you also have an XP desktop in 4-bit? How VBIOS is then used - check, for example, with SLIC ToolKit > C0000 memory dump. This is my radeon VBIOS when boot using CSMWrap:

Low screen resolution
What is the native resolution of the monitor connected to the graphics card?
I noticed interesting things when we change the GOP resolution before running CSMWrap. You can change the resolution, for example, using UefiSeven 1.31 in the UefiSeven.ini file and boot the u7 without the .original.efi file - then the u7 will boot at the set resolution and return to the UEFI Shell because it does not find the original.efi file
Now run CSMWrap runs at the same resolution as set by U7 (SeaBIOS probably also). I tested with winload.exe and in XP it boot in 800x600 but in the screen settings there are different resolutions to choose from - different depending on what resolution you set in U7.
Unfortunately, changing the resolution restarts the computer.0 -
NTFS partition must be created using diskpart from Win7 or newer for bootmgr load
or change bootsector in WinPE:
bootsect /nt60 C:\
or change in Bootice:

Serial COM1 does not work
For the serial port to work you need to load the pciserial.efi and terminal.efi drivers in the UEFI Shell:
load pciserial.efi terminal.efi

Try my patched Longhorn 5472 winload.exe + bootmgr + BCD - the necessary files I seem to have already sent you. You need also fix BCD using bootice.exe https://msfn.org/board/topic/186793-csmwrap-boot-csm-on-uefi-only-systems/page/2/#findComment-1280116

confirmed working
Yes, these drivers work 100% - I tested both 32-bit in XP 32-bit and 64-bit in XP 64-bit
The same drivers also work in Win7

I can allow myself to buy a legit OS once in a twenty years
In that case, look for a support to the problem from the system manufacturer - good luck

I have a question - is registration not working on the MDL forum? I don't want to explain once again what and how because that's how everything is described:
My drivers work OK and tested on many computers. First time I've heard of drivers "killing the mobo"

Best USB3 drivers for XP - AMD by daniel fixed by me - I use them in my XP 32 and 64-bit tutorials on MDL.
Also works fixed by me from George King 6.2.9200.21180 - I used them in tutorials before but they have a slight problem:
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/winxp-64-bit-on-a-modern-pc-iso-boot-wim-install-wim.88435/page-7#post-1868985Everything is on MDL in my tutorials and other topics - just register.

Have you checked if there is any debug information in Putty via COM port after load drivers pciserial.efi & terminal.efi ?

No, links not works but as far as I know DUET is a UEFI bios and there is no such file because it doesn't make sense - to run UEFI bios on UEFI bios

CSMwrap - boot CSM on UEFI only systems.
in Windows XP
Posted · Edited by reboot12
It is impossible that such an old graphics card GT 730 does not have a Legacy vbios, after all, you booted the computer with this card in Legacy mode using CSMWrap - right?

This is proof that it has vbios - show what the SLIC ToolKit memory dump at C0000 shows:
