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

[pappyN4v2]

@DietmarDo you remember what is difference between v8 and acpiSkull3new.sys from 2024.11.11?

On Intel Asrock B760M-HDV/M.2/D4, both 2003x64 and 2003x86 ACPI
7777.8 - 2023.04.17            BSOD A5 (03,...,C0000034,...)
7777.8 - 2023.04.17 - A5x11+A5x03    BSOD 0A (00,02,00,...)
acpiSkull3new.sys - 2024.11.11        works

I would like to make same change to 2003x86 v8 to test something,

but error is not C0140010 so must be something else that was patched between v8+A5x11+A5x3 and this one?

New file shows very different in hex compare, I guess maybe compiled from new source

@pappyN4v2

@Dietmar test my WinXP 64-bit on Intel Gen 12 mobo and make patch acpi.sys

Here 3 versions from Dietmar: acpi_Dietmar.zip

acpiSkull2.sys - 21 Jul 2024
acpiSkull2A511.sys - 21 Jul 2024 (same date but other fix) - compare in Hex Editor

i dont have insight in this project
but is dump_ntoskrn8.sys even part of the ACPI 2.0 driver ? sounds like a kernel extender but i do not know

This is my last working acpi.sys for XP SP3, bit32.

https://ufile.io/aijaqmds

I modded such a lot of other acpi.sys, but they are always very special for ONE Bsod.

This acpi.sys above will work for nearly all desktop pcs from 1999 to 2025 for XP.

But for newer notebooks (starting from 2015) there are a lot of different hurdles, mostly in the underlying DSDT for its graphic card

Hi,

Can You repost the last file acpi.sys for xp 32 bit ?

the link require account premium

 

windows Xp with acpi patch 7777 works on my desktop pc, it shuts down correctly, but when I reboot it freezes, can you tell me why? it's an asrock q1900 motherboard

thanks

but my problem with reboot is for acpi.ays ?

[Mark-XP]

The acpi.sys is in the zip/iso. One can integrate the ACPI-patch (for > 2016 intel mainboards) to any XP(32).iso with the patch-integrator script of the zip archive.

I have used the file ACPI.SYS from the ISO Ramsey,

but the problem of freeze at reboot persist

@casey

Hi,

disable everything in Bios, that you dont need for boot.

All USB, sound, network, internal graphik, use graphik card, etc.

Dietmar

 

PS: I did it for myself on this crazy q1900 board.

Step by step I also disabled everything in Device Manager of XP SP3.

"Now I have also sound on full ACPI Multiprocessor XP SP3 on the Q1900m board. For this I have to disable "Microsoft UAA-Bustreiber für High Definition Audio"
in Device Manager and after this to enable "Microsoft UAA-Bustreiber für High Definition Audio" again, crazy."

Two funny (yet innocuous) effects here too:

- rebooting from XP (with Realtek driver) to Win7 (standard audio driver) -> No sound (comes back after sleep and wakeup)

- Cold start boot to Win XP (no driver for internal Graphic): some 20 seconds idleing on the boot screen; in contrast only 2 seconds, when doing a reboot from Win7 to XP.

I suspect missing (or lousy implemented) initializations in firmware or drivers in such cases.

Are you maybe using a PS/2 keyboard? I had the same problem with another asrock board:

"the acpi V4 also works on Asus Prime B250 and Asrock B250M Pro4 (on the lattest the restart still doesn't work with a PS/2 keyboard connected"

I confirm, With USB Keyboard and Mouse, everything works, but when I connected a PS2 peripheral (or keyboard or mouse) and I reboot, xp freezes. How can I solve this problem?
