Compiling ACPI v2.0 driver for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 SP2 (x32/x64)

Just use XP integral edition.

That is NT 5.1, I want to do it for NT 5.2/Server 2003 and x64.

@K4sum1

Fair enough.

Hi, I bought for few Euro a notebook from 2017, HP 255 g6, Bios F20 e2-9000e AMD cpu with integrated graphik R2.

It is very slow. But there is a graphik driver for XP.

It looks, as if there is a problem related to acpi.sys.

I only can install XP SP3 on the HP 255 g6, Bios F20 e2-9000e AMD cpu with integrated graphik R2, when hitting F7 F8 during setup in TXT mode.

This gives the "Standard PC". No acpi at all. This works.

If I try to install in normal Acpi Multiprocessor, I can see for a second the harddisk, but then the compi shuts down.

Never I have seen this behavior before.

I also test the brandnew acpi.sys from George King. Exact the same behavior.

I can make a try to debug this BSOD via Lan from you, Mov AX, 0xDEAD, possible because it has a supported Realtek Lan chip.

But this will be hard work, because I have no working XP SP3, so that I can boot from this XP for to fetch the Bsod.

Do you have an idea,

what XP SP3 acpi.sys not likes in this DSDT from HP 255 g6

@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]

@Damnation

My problem is, that the HP 255 g6 shows Bsod 0x7B with acpi, means that the arcpath cant be found to the boot device.

So, no information about the reason for this Bsod during debug.

But it depends on acpi, because with "Standard PC" setup of XP works.

This is such a strange behavior, because I can see my harddisk for a second at XP-Setup, but then compi shuts down

@Dietmar

There might be a registry key in SETUPREG.HIV to disable auto restart on BSOD.

I know Integral Edition at least won't restart on a 7B BSOD.

@Dietmar what happens if you first make a standard/regular XP installation and then substitue tha acpi later?

On the HP 255 g6 with any XP SP3 ACPI install, the compi seems to loose any contact to the boot device,

no matter if Sata or USB. Independend from the underlying boot device driver.

And because of this comes the Bsod 0x7B

Dietmar

[Damnation]

@Dietmar

Try a PCIe SATA card with it, that might work. You can use one of those chinese mini pcie to PCIe adapters for this.

[Dietmar]

This will not help.

I succeed to boot XP from USB this crazy HP 255 g6.

And get 2 entries in Device-Manager: For Standard PC and Acpi Multiprocessor.

But only with Standard PC it boots, Bsod 0x7B with Acpi Multiprocessor.

So, there must be something in Bios, what disrupted the arcpath to any boot device,

when you choose any acpi on this notebook.
