I believe ArcaOS is closed source? I could be wrong though.

Yes it is closed source ,

I found some stuff

@Dibya

Yeah, we know about those already.

We've gotten XP to boot in UEFI already, XP x64 on real hardware only though, and it's unstable.

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

Prior to using my x64 acpi.sys did this board have any BSODs with the original x64 acpi.sys?

[Dietmar]

@Damnation

Yepp, about error in DDB and Variable mismatch

@George King @Dietmar

I think using my x64 acpi.sys for your XP2ESD project should be a safe choice then I think.

Yes I have added it as default option now (even in stucks in bootloop on my testing machine). Interesting is I can boot on same machine 32bit with latest v3 compiled. And 64bit stucks - I think it must be related to way how it is done now. Looking forward into this development ( and secondary GPU detection will be great too In future)

This should be my first debugging log without (apparent) errors:

Since I probably made something wrong, please let me know what is missing.

 

Edit: I didn't see any classic BSOD, the screen become black just entering "g" after the command "bu acpi!DriverEntry".

The acpi.sys on the TARGET system has SHA-1: 166A17FFE3421083E81A3A7CF9E01D7CD63F52A7

@Damnation@George King I tried acpi_xp_amd64_forGK_2_7z and it boot fine for me when i replaced acpi on a working system. GA-B450AorusM.  Maybe you can try on a different test computer and see if you have better luck?  Might be an issue specific to your test motherboard.

@Damnation Looks like I spoke too soon.  More testing, this acpi adds a restart bug.  After windows turns off in the restart cycle, it never comes back.  Have to physically push the restart button.

I had this problem before when a PS2 keyboard was attached and no acpi would fix it.  But in this case the PS2 is not being used.  USB only.  All other acpis that boot do not have restart issue when PS2 is not used: x64 5048, x86 5048, 6666, and 7777 v3.

Did you debug CHECKED acpi.sys ?

It's not true. UefiSeven is stable but cannot unlock C0000 memory on some computers:

UefiSeven test

I have a PC in which I have CSM turned off (UEFI class 3) and I run WinXP SP2 x64 on it without any problems using UefiSeven

WinXP x64 + UefiSeven

[Damnation]

@reboot12

welp, I stand corrected then.

@pappyN4

Do you get this behavior with the default XP x64 acpi.sys too?

[Damnation]

@Andalu

Here, I made a checked build x86 acpi.sys for you.

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD Is there any chance to get secondary GPU available? My testing laptop Asus K53SV have integrated Intel HD GPU + NVIDIA GPU. With currently compiled (1106 or 5512 or 6666) can detect only Intel GPU.

I was able to successfully install NVIDIA GPU drivers with only new and fresh modded ACPI 5048 by @pappyN4 for both x86 & x64 systems. It would be great if this new ACPI can detect it too.

Nvidia Optimus ?

I own a Dell Vostro 3550 laptop and a Dell XPS L502X laptop.

Each of them has a Nvidia graphic card, and as there is no settings in the BIOS for disabling this stupid thing, I can't use them with XP.

I own too a few Dell Latitude laptops with the Nvidia Optimus functionnality. But in the BIOS, I can disable it.

If someone know how to bypass or disable this feature, I'll take it!
