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

[Damnation]

@pappyN4 @Dietmar

you might need a crossover cat6 for direct PC-to-PC link, at least if MDIX is not supported.

I would imagine these cards would support MDIX though.

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)

1) I save current DSDT from any Windows under QEMU

2) This DSDT is base for modification, i dont change existing lines, only add new lines to any _INI method of any devices to check what i want

3) I didnt try to load DSDT from real hardware

4) Of couse QEMU shows same BSOD

Was playing with Win7 SP1 WDK, compiling ACPI for both XP and 2003 environments.

Server 2003 as target OS seems to be a little more optimized and sections/data are packed tightly together.

Code is 99.999% the same, except for these:

Quote

XP as target OS (ugly unoptimized code):

cmp     dword ptr [edi+44h], 0
setnz   al
and     dword ptr [esi+1Ch], 0
test    al, al
jz      short loc_38DEC


Server 2003 as target OS (nice optimization):

and     dword ptr [esi+1Ch], 0
cmp     dword ptr [edi+44h], 0
jz      short loc_3A367

 

Quote

XP as target OS:

call    _ArbpGetRegistryValue@12
mov     esi, eax
cmp     esi, ebx
jl      cleanup_6
mov     esi, [ebp+info]
cmp     dword ptr [esi+4], 1
jnz     short loc_3904C

Server 2003 as target OS (another check for safety?!):

call    _ArbpGetRegistryValue@12
mov     esi, eax
cmp     esi, ebx
jl      cleanup_6
cmp     [ebp+info], ebx
jz      cleanup_6
mov     esi, [ebp+info]
cmp     dword ptr [esi+4], 1
jnz     short loc_3A5D1

@Andalu

You reported about BSOD 0xA5 (0x03, ..., C0140008, ...) ValidateArgTypes(), do you still have this BSOD on your MBoards ?

ACPI.sys containts part from external arbiter.lib, this lib is little different when you switch target OS

I guess you shows code from this lib

[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.

Thanks for clarifying that.

By the way, with the latest fixes, I don't get any more crashes with Port 60/64 Emulation on my H310 board.
I've even added the all _OSI strings (up to "Windows 2020") to ACPI and no problems so far.

is there another acpi.sys to try? The last acpi.sys working version is from @Dietmar with DBhack. Without the hack I got A5 bsod (0x11, 0x08, ..., 0x20160527)

[Dietmar]

@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 )

@Andalu

You can edit one source file (https://msfn.org/board/topic/183464-compiling-acpi-v20-driver-for-windows-xp-sp3-x32-only/?do=findComment&comment=1217375) and compile yourself to avoid BSOD (0x11, 0x08) or use compiled v4 by Dietmar (see post before)

i just remember you posted BSOD 0xA5 (0x03, ..., C0140008, ...) after we already found solution to this BSOD, so ask you to clarify current state

[Dietmar]

@Andalu @Mov AX, 0xDEAD

 

Here are both new acpi.sys V4 free and debug version

Tomorrow, I'm also gonna try and get KDNET debugging up and running for my AMD Threadripper system, can you send me all the files I'll need to get started?

P.S - I only have 1 PC screen, will that be an issue?

[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

@Damnation

With only one screen you need switch it from TARGET (selecting boot entry) to HOST (windbg), much better to use notebook as HOST with internal screen

See PM

@Dietmar

thank you so much, It worked

Also tried by installing XP-IE from scratch, no issues detected.

 

The only yellow mark that resists every version is this:

Not a problem, it is there since I have the GA-H470 but it never bothered me
