Can this be used to implement ACPI driver that will in fact ignore ACPI for BIOS that does not support ACPI and does not have ACPI table? Something like silently ignore ACPI, provide SMP support (multiprocessor support via MPS multiprocessor) and don't throw BSOD?

@cyberluke

Not quite, to disable ACPI you'll also need a type of HAL that specifically ignores ACPI.

Multiprocessor ACPI HAL is the best HAL for modern hardware, the other HALs might not even work.

Átvittem a j1900 minipc-t, direkt sata kapcsolat van, az apci.sys blue error screen nem telepít semmit.

The most crucial in my post was the link, did you open that link? I'm not talking about modern hardware at all. Year 2000 super server, 6x CPU mini fridge:

Please look once more: https://www.cpushack.com/2019/01/14/part-2-mini-mainframe-at-home-the-story-of-a-6-cpu-server-from-1997/

What he did:

Take Whistler build (early Windows XP) that still did not have ACPI implemented. Use that file. Install Whistler. Then install XP SP3 over it. Working Win XP without ACPI.

I'm asking, if it would be possible like DIY with this driver presented here. This Pentium 1 machine kills Pentium 4 in 7-Zip benchmark :-D

 

Because this would allow other Vogons community to use that. For example we can only use Windows 2000 Advanced Server. With this approach, we could use Windows 2003.

Make a try with the other acpi.sys 6666

PS: This Bsod because of acpi.sys is strange, because before you dont get.

Set in Bios everything to "Legacy", no UEFI at all.

Disable "Fast Boot" in Bios.
