There is another interesting thing, what can be tested with the new acpi.sys V4. I remember, that on newer DSDT table, before with acpi.sys version 6666 I got Bsod when I load this acpi table via asl /loadtable dsdt.aml Before, the asl Tool vers 4 or vers 5 fails with BSOD 0x000000A5 (0x00000003, xxx, C0140001, yyy) after uploading a working DSDT table for Acpi. Always when you load a DSDT table via asl /loadtable from Skylake above you get this Bsod with acpi.sys 6666. When this Bsod can be solved, it will be much more easy to upload any DSDT table to XP, because XP SP3 listens to registry entry for DSDT (or FACP etc.). Winserver 2003 listens only to Bios DSDT.

@daniel_k Can you remember, for the acpi.sys version 6666 you make different kind of Win versions hack (1, 2, 3, 4). Do you know, which was the best acpi.sys 6666 from those tests Dietmar

@daniel_k With your modd about to fake the Win version, via acpi.sys V4 now on my Asrock z370 gaming k6 is a new acpi device found, which I never saw before Dietmar PS: Its name is ACPI\INT33A1\1 which is first used in win8.1 as Intel(R) Core(TM) 4xxxU and 4xxxY Processor Line Power Engine Plug-in

@Andalu @Mov AX, 0xDEAD Here are both new acpi.sys V4 free and debug version Dietmar https://ufile.io/zd0szbk1

@Andalu Here is the fresh modded free acpi.sys V4 with patch from @Mov AX, 0xDEAD and @daniel_k this time without any binary hack ) Dietmar https://ufile.io/34t1pgp7

I just notice, that with the new Quantum browser 68.12.2b download and upload on XP SP3 are about 6% faster than with Firefox 52.9.0 . Ping is the same Dietmar

@Damnation Thanks for the tip ). Here is answer from Intel about the Intel X540-T2 10Gigabit Dietmar The X540 uses an automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration. Intel recommends using straight through cables. Where crossover cables are used, all four pairs must be crossed. Using crossover cables where only some pairs are crossed is not supported and might result in link failure or slow links.

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD How big can the parts from a real DSDT be, that you can integrate in the DSDT from Qemu, so that Qemu still works? Have you tested this? And gives Qemu the same Bsod about failed to build DDB, when you run it with a zero size buffer in its given DSDT on a XP SP3 guest (Target) Dietmar

I just ordered 2 used Intel X540-T2 10Gigabit lan cards, Dev_1528 . It has 2 RJ45 connectors each. They have driver for win2003 Bit32 and Bit64 and work with driver from 2 March 2013 under XP and ndis.sys V5 as a check with Dependency Walker tells me. Dont know, if for a short direct connection compi to compi with cable of 2m you need Cat6 cable, hope not Dietmar EDIT: The X540-T2 with Dev_1528 is also supported in Windbg Ethernet NICs for Network Kernel Debugging in Windows 8.1 . https://www.hardware-mag.de/artikel/sonstiges/asus_und_intel_10_gbits_netzwerkkarten_im_test/

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD How did you use Qemu with an outstanding DSDT? Tutorial would be soso nice Dietmar

@Damnation Yepp, about error in DDB and Variable mismatch Dietmar

@Damnation Hi, your nice acpi.sys V2 compiled from Sources for XP bit 64 works also via install on the Asrock z370 gaming k6 board under XP bit64 SP1 Dietmar

@Andalu I think, that this is not a good idea. Soon you forget, which are your newest files for Windbg Dietmar

@Andalu You have to add for your Symbol path also your old path .symfix+ W:\Symbols .reload /f and .symfix+ W:\Symbols1 .reload /f Dietmar

@Andalu Then type on running Windbg at commandline .symfix+ W:\Symbols1 .reload /f !sym noisy Dietmar PS: The "+" adds an extra path for new Symbols. If you use it without the "+", your whole path to Symbols is set new.

@Andalu Make a new folder Symbols2 for your own files. Put it to W:\Symbols2 and put all your files there into. And then set on left side above in Windbg the path for everything also (via ; ) to W:\Symbols2 Dietmar Here is mine C:\symbolssss;C:\symbols;C:\symbolss;C:\symbolsss;E:\binaries.x86fre\Symbols;https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols;srv*

@Damnation @daniel_k did this trick to fake OS version in acpi.sys. The last acpi.sys driver from @Outbreaker use this trick also Dietmar

@Andalu Which Lan card you bought for success? Dietmar

@Damnation Yepp, and you also have to grab a brandnew Win7 bit32 LAN driver for all the i219 variants and to check their dependencies also. And check dependencies from this win7 i219 bit32 driver in XP and also in win7. I think, when you check dependencies in Win7, at once you see, what have to be done at least Dietmar https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/network/overview-of-ndis-versions

@Damnation Because all tries to hack a driver for example from i211 to fake as i219 failed, I think, the problem is, that we have to change whole Ndis5 (XP) to Ndis6 (>XP) Dietmar PS: Yesterday I tried to hack again the Windbg driver for the i219 on the Asrock z370 gaming k6 board. On the i211 the hacked driver works also as original but on the i219, compi just restarts without any message. Here is my hacked and the original version kd_02Intelwin81 https://ufile.io/rw27ju7j

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD Are you now working on acpi.sys based on the Sources for win2003? When you have time for, I am very much interested in a driver for XP for the Intel i219 lan device. I would also do by myself but I dont know where to start Dietmar

@daniel_k I tried this already for the i219, does not work Dietmar

@Andalu I just test the V4 version. It has Dev_8161 and installs under XP SP3 only with the very last driver from Realtek from 2018. But it works also with Windbg over Lan, see photo from just now Dietmar PS: I disabled for this the i211 and the i219 lans in Bios of the z370 Asrock gaming k6 board. The V2 version has Dev_8168 , which is a much more common chip from Realtek. I would buy V2 version of tp-link TG-3468 . EDIT: Even from version v2 exists different cards. My has 2001500224 but now most v2 have 2001500217.

They are different. V2 Version has chip SG24701A V4 has chip LG2013D Dietmar

@Andalu This is a fake picture from Amazon, because they deleted the Versions number on it Dietmar
