When using the latest coreboot (i.e. using command `git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot%60), which is currently 24.05, to build a rom for Thinkpad W530, I get BSOD with "ACPI BIOS ERROR" when trying to boot into Windows 10 or 11 from SeaBIOS. Even just booting from a Windows install usb will show this error.
This is even with incorporating the vga bios files (so i can external displays to work) - see my defconfig.
Did consider using EDK2 apparently Windows support is pretty solid, but could never make a successful build - not that `make` command had errors, but once flashing, would just having white underscore and have to recover with external flashing. A separate issue to write about in and of itself, but I prefer SeaBIOS so I'll be sticking with that.
I am quite new to coreboot - using for only about 2-3 months now. Let me know if there is further information I should provide.
quite simply, coreboot's ACPI for your device booted in legacy BIOS mode isn't Windows compliant. Boot linux, install acpica-tools, run `sudo acpidump -b` then `sudo iasl -d *.dat` and zip/attach the resulting .dsl files here.
IMO edk2 is the better choice for running Win10/11, and is known to work well. A flashing cursor sounds like you changed the display mode to text vs graphical, or didn't reset your config when changing payloads. edk2 + libgfxinit with defaults should boot Windows on your device.
