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

[Dietmar]

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD @RandyOC

The fresh build bit 64 acpi.sys gives Bsod A5 (0x03,..) on the MSI z690-A Pro DDR4 board.

I try dirty hack but there is a problem

Here is the fresh compiled free version of last acpi.sys v7 from @Mov AX, 0xDEAD,

compiled with the OS fakes from @daniel_k

good luck

@Dave-H make try with this acpi.sys on the Flex10.

@Dietmar

Just wanted to report now I'm back home, that that version of acpi.sys makes no difference to the hanging restart problem on my Flex 10.
Working fine in every other respect though, so I will leave it installed.

I wonder if the razzle tool from source code can compile the other files aside from acpi without problems? Because if that's the case, then I will try to compile bootvid.dll so I can try to change the resolution of the kernel vga driver from 640x480 to 1024x768 so I can try to force BSOD to show (using FlashBoot bootmgfw.efi VGA emulator on pure-uefi laptop) to show if XP crashed while booting from 16497 winload pure uefi (with only /BOOTLOGO specified in LoadString, NOGUIBOOT isn't needed), to see if the problem is caused by ACPI.SYS (for debugging purposes on only one computer because I can't afford to buy a second one)

@UsefulAGKHelper

Original razzle is ideal to compile anything from leaked sources, just cd to directory and build any .sys/.exe/.dll

To show BSOD info on UEFI screen i think a lot of things need to rewrite or create from scratch, technicaly BSOD screen is text screen rendered by bios fonts, so in win8/win10 no more text mode, only hires screen with bsod code

@Dave-H There is no hanging restart workaround (ported storport.sys from win8 has same problem if usb3 storage inserted), no point to wait this specific fix from current acpi driver

There must be an nvme.pdb for this driver, until now I dont have.

Is there any chance, that we can edit this nvme.sys by hand via assembler

Who is the author of this driver ? Not MS ?
I surprised why stack is not overused on later OS, limit is same 12kb

Let me see on kernel log(lite and full) if it possible

On this board, Debug is not possible because no Lan Debug for 64 bit and no serial Debug works there.

I make a try on the Asrock z370, because there Serial Debug works, endless time^^ needed

Oh, i forget about x32 only lan debug and without COM hardware card/port it is not possible at all

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD @RandyOC

Dirty hack against Bsod A5 (0x03,..) at a lot of places does not work.

Gives new Bsod 0xA.

I also tried the last version from @George King from 4. Dezember 2022,

also with dirty hack against Bsod A5 (0x03,..) ,

gives the same Bsod 0xA

Thanks, I guess it's something I'll just have to live with.
The machine works so much better with the new version of acpi.sys in every other respect than it does with the default version, I'm not complaining!
Off-topic, I've been researching a way of removing 'Restart' from the shutdown menu so I don't keep using it accidentally, but I didn't get anywhere.
Does anyone know if that's possible to do?

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD

On the Asrock z370 k6 XP64 installs without problems and without any hack

via my new build acpi.sys with OS fake

Dietmar

[Dietmar]

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD @RandyOC

Yesssa,

without any hack via my new acpi.sys with OS fake and the Kai Storahci SATA

I am just installing XP64 on the MSI z690-A Pro DDR4 board,

via CD on Sata CD rom.

Firadisk does not work for 64bit here

woohoo! let's go! I have a CD ROM here so I can use that  fingers crossed no BSOD 

[Dietmar]

On reboot again the same Bsod sequence,

nothing seems to help
