It made no difference.

Anybody tried this to boot XP in UEFI?

> If you're booting Windows 7 or earlier in a VM, you will need the OVMF firmware with Seabios compiled in as the Compatibility Support Module (CSM), which isn't normally included. 

This makes it useless as UEFI Class 3 BIOS don't have CSM support. And on UEFI Class 1-2 just use Legacy/CSM/MBR

[infuscomus]

Try that with UEFISever and see if that gets around the lack of CSM.

nevermind HAL extender - got it to compile.

Would it be difficult to implement server 2003 pushlocks into ntoskrnl extender?

UEFISeven works mostly on Intel iGPUs.

I got very close to booting XP textmode setup with the server 2008 kernel and HAL - I got up to "Setup is Starting Windows" - no crash, but it stops there.

Does anyone want to try and see if they can get any further with it?

@Dietmar

Do you want to try out my server 2008 kernel on XP ISO image? see if you can get textmode setup to work?

Question is - how many people using WinXP x64 on UEFI x64 with original ACPI 1.0 driver on modern PC?

Answer - about zero, only few new motherboards has special acpi1.0 legacy support for WinXP.

Of couse you can make heavy patch of your DSDT to isolate all acpi2.0 syntax and run with ACPI 1.0 driver. Or use acpi x64 driver from longhorn 5048 beta

You are very far to booting XP texmode."Setup is Starting Windows" means all drivers loaded as files to ram. Next stage is code execution, but it stops there (surprise)...

I can send you the ISO image if you're curious to have a look at it.

im downloaded 2021.12.19 now it's much more interesting with ACPI.sys acpi 6666 - 2021.8.28 - daniel_k, diderius6 froze the installation for windows xp for a few moments

..but the computer told me this problem
IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ..what else should I do about ACPI.SYS ... I replaced some acpi.sys from the intergrator folders but bsod happens with ACPI

[Thor55]

I have an asus prime x299 Deluxe II motherboard .. I hope you will write ACPI.sys for this generation motherborad that can continue installing the legendary windows xp

@Thor55

Please post a screen shot of the ACPI A5 BSOD you are getting on your hardware.

[infuscomus]

I've uploaded my experimental XP with server 2008 for anyone curious to test it.

hi infuscomus

here are two pictures of hardware issues, although the CPU is totally 64-bit, it doesn't have 32-bit, but it probably won't work, there are 64-bit windows xp, although the integrator is 32-bit, I hope the 32-bit xp will work on a 64-bit processor i have an i9 x series x64 bit

motherboard x299 asus prime x299 deluxe II is my board

 

 

please wait my foto big 1,6 4k resolution wait small size resolution im 10 minutes back

frozen setup windows

[infuscomus]

@Thor55

hmmm, this seems like it might be something other than ACPI that is failing, possibly USB3.

First lets check if ACPI is working - use the optional patch integrator, integrate only ACPI driver and nothing else, then test.

post screenshot of BSOD if any.

[infuscomus]

How to run kernel debug from within XP textmode setup? I would imagine there would be a way to do this, but I'm not sure how.

If anyone already knows how to please post letting us know.

hi

since i integrated acpi with x86 integrator (32 bit and then sent you pictures these two are here .. nothing but acpi integrated

 

please reply thank you for all the answers

@Thor55

Which options did you select when you got BSOD 0A? and which options did you select when it froze at "Setup is Starting Windows"?

[Thor55]

Which options did you choose when you got the 0A BSOD? and what options did you choose when it froze under "Installation starts Windows"?

 

I only selected the Acpi option and it starts windows before installation and I waited at least 55 seconds and in an instant the message IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

[infuscomus]

@Thor55

OK, try - acpi 5048 - 2020.10.24 - daniel_k, diderius6 - see if that makes a difference.
