What should I do to get these informations? I can investigate it when new week starts.

- Check missed PCI device with RW Everything

- Decompile dsdt/ssdt and look how OS detected and where OS check has meaning like this:

Quote

If (OSYS >= 0x07DC)
{
 Return (Zero)
}
Else
{
 Return (0x0F)
}

We could also try the ACPI OS version lie trick in the driver instead of editing the DSDT.

I don't remember how to do the trick though.

but I'm sure ACPI OS version is defined somewhere in the code.

@daniel_k did this trick to fake OS version in acpi.sys.

The last acpi.sys driver from @Outbreaker use this trick also

Hey. I have a huge request. Is it possible to somehow modify the GPU driver from Windows 7 to work on XP (no matter x86 or x64). It is an AMD Radeon R2. Lenovo B50-45 laptop.

Welcome!

This would be an extremely difficult task - Vista and later use WDDM driver model whereas XP and earlier use XDDM driver model.

I'm not saying it'll never happen, but it's not likely.

Best use XP compatible Maxwell and earlier GPUs for nvidia on XP.

I got you PDB symbols for all 4 ntoskrnl's

hope this helps.

https://anonfiles.com/vbK9Z1Y7xa/andalu_ntkrpamp_symbols_7z

for acpi.sys PDB symbols, build from source.

Thanks for your help. I still need to understand the right place for these files. Windbg.exe continues to give me error for ntkrpamp.exe.

@Andalu

looking at your log file symbols should go here

Symbol search path is: C:\WINDOWS\Symbols

this path should be on your HOST machine (the one running windbg) not your TARGET machine (the one with the BSOD)

I followed your instructions but I still got errors. I have to figure out how to set the correct symbols paths and where other files type (*.exe, *.sys) need to be copied.

Here the log containing the errors: https://anonfiles.com/bem2gfZ1x8/H470_txt

I tried to copy acpi.pdb in the compiled folder (in my case c:\nt\base\busdrv\acpi\driver\nt\obj\i386\ created from scratch) and also in the symbols path (in my case W:\Symbols1\sys folder, replacing the existing acpi.pdb) but the errors are still there.

Thanks.

@Damnation

the symbols path is on the host system where the WinDBG process runs. I just uploaded the logfile.

@Andalu

can you share a directory listing of W:\Symbols1 ?

You didn't  follow my instruction - setup boot.ini

Place compiled acpi.pdb to c:\nt\base\busdrv\acpi\driver\nt\obj\i386\ on HOST if you compile yourself. When you recompile acpi.sys, you need update acpi.pdb on HOST every time, better to compile on HOST to avoid .pdb path issues

[Damnation]

@Andalu

Place the 4 ntoskrnl PDB files I sent you into W:\Symbols1\exe - see if that works.

acpi PDB would go in W:\Symbols1\sys

[Dietmar]

@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

Here is mine

C:\symbolssss;C:\symbols;C:\symbolss;C:\symbolsss;E:\binaries.x86fre\Symbols;https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols;srv*

I've compiled a matching acpi.sys\acpi.pdb for you.
