[coreboot - Bug #549] (New) coreboot 24.05: SeaBIOS Windows 10/11 BSOD "ACPI BIOS ERROR" (Thinkpad W530)

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. ---Files-------------------------------- defconfig (590 Bytes) w530_bsod.jpg (1.98 MB) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.

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. ---------------------------------------- Bug #549: coreboot 24.05: SeaBIOS Windows 10/11 BSOD "ACPI BIOS ERROR" (Thinkpad W530) https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/549#change-1873 * Author: Simon Dominic * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Category: board support * Target version: master * Start date: 2024-07-31 * Affected versions: master * Affected hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad W530 * Affected OS: Windows 10/11 ---------------------------------------- When using the latest coreboot (i.e. using command `git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot`), 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.

You're talking about `Devices --> Graphics initialization`, right? That's probably it - I didn't touch that and by default is set to "Run VGA Option ROMS".

edk2 requires a graphical framebuffer, either libgfxinit w/linear high-res framebuffer, or VGA BIOS with a VESA mode set. The latter is not recommended, nor the default when edk2 is selected as the payload from a clean config. don't mess with ME cleaner until you have coreboot working properly, no need to add another variable to the mix. the CBFS size can be set plenty large enough for edk2 (2MB should suffice) without needed to shrink the ME region / enlarge the bios region. here is a sane defconfig for W530 + edk2: CONFIG_VENDOR_LENOVO=y CONFIG_CBFS_SIZE=0x200000 CONFIG_BOARD_LENOVO_W530=y CONFIG_PAYLOAD_EDK2=y CONFIG_EDK2_BOOT_MANAGER_ESCAPE=y CONFIG_EDK2_FOLLOW_BGRT_SPEC=y # CONFIG_EDK2_FULL_SCREEN_SETUP is not set obviously since no IFD/ME blobs are included, you would just flash the bios region (using `--ifd -i bios`) ---------------------------------------- Bug #549: coreboot 24.05: SeaBIOS Windows 10/11 BSOD "ACPI BIOS ERROR" (Thinkpad W530) https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/549#change-1876 * Author: Simon Dominic * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Category: board support * Target version: master * Start date: 2024-07-31 * Affected versions: master * Affected hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad W530 * Affected OS: Windows 10/11 ---------------------------------------- When using the latest coreboot (i.e. using command `git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot`), 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.

here is a sane defconfig for W530 + edk2:
``` CONFIG_VENDOR_LENOVO=y CONFIG_CBFS_SIZE=0x200000 CONFIG_BOARD_LENOVO_W530=y CONFIG_PAYLOAD_EDK2=y CONFIG_EDK2_BOOT_MANAGER_ESCAPE=y CONFIG_EDK2_FOLLOW_BGRT_SPEC=y # CONFIG_EDK2_FULL_SCREEN_SETUP is not set ```
With that defconfig confirmed to be working, I tried adding a few other things, including vga bios (to get external displays working): ``` CONFIG_VENDOR_LENOVO=y CONFIG_CBFS_SIZE=0x200000 CONFIG_VGA_BIOS_DGPU_ID="10de,0ffc" CONFIG_VGA_BIOS=y CONFIG_IFD_BIN_PATH="descriptor.bin" CONFIG_ME_BIN_PATH="me.bin" CONFIG_GBE_BIN_PATH="gbe.bin" CONFIG_VGA_BIOS_FILE="vgabios/8086,0166.rom" CONFIG_HAVE_IFD_BIN=y CONFIG_BOARD_LENOVO_W530=y CONFIG_H8_FN_CTRL_SWAP=y CONFIG_HAVE_ME_BIN=y CONFIG_USE_ME_CLEANER=y CONFIG_HAVE_GBE_BIN=y CONFIG_MAINBOARD_USE_LIBGFXINIT=y CONFIG_VGA_BIOS_DGPU=y CONFIG_VGA_BIOS_DGPU_FILE="vgabios/10de,0ffc.rom" CONFIG_PAYLOAD_EDK2=y CONFIG_EDK2_BOOT_MANAGER_ESCAPE=y # CONFIG_EDK2_FULL_SCREEN_SETUP is not set ``` However, CBFS at 2MB (0x200000) is too small to have VGA BIOS. Thus, I get this error: ``` Image SIZE 12582912 CBFS cpu_microcode_blob.bin CBFS fallback/ramstage CBFS config CBFS revision CBFS build_info CBFS fallback/dsdt.aml CBFS vbt.bin CBFS cmos_layout.bin CBFS pci8086,0166.rom CBFS pci10de,0ffc.rom CBFS fallback/postcar CBFS fallback/payload E: Could not add [build/UEFIPAYLOAD.fd, 1308190 bytes (1277 KB)@0x0]; too big?

E: The image will be left unmodified. make: *** [Makefile.mk:1214: build/coreboot.pre] Error 1 ``` Changing it to 3MB (0x300000) creates a successful build. I assume CBFS at 3MB is acceptable/sane?

Normally, the bootloader would add the boot entry to the bootorder list. Do you have SMMSTORE enabled? That's needed for UEFI NVRAM to work. If so, you can add a bootorder entry manually for that target

Rufus is breaking things by trying to unload the existing NTFS EFI driver and load its own.

edk2 requires a graphical framebuffer, either libgfxinit w/linear high-res framebuffer, or VGA BIOS with a VESA mode set. The latter is not recommended, nor the default when edk2 is selected as the payload from a clean config.
I could be completely wrong, but I gather libgfxinit (as opposed to "VGA Option ROMS") is disabling (full) activation of the dGPU. If I wanted to go that latter not-recommended route, how should display mode be set up? Attached is what menuconfig shows if I look through some of the settings for "Display" (if I choose "VGA Option ROMS" as "Graphics initialization"): * Screenshot 1 is what "Display" looks like without touching anything (Here, "Framebuffer mode" can only be set to "Legacy VGA text mode"). * 2 is ticking "Set framebuffer graphics resolution" and touching nothing else. * 3 shows the options for "Framebuffer mode" after doing 2. * 4 shows what it looks like after setting "Framebuffer mode" to "VESA framebuffer". ---------------------------------------- Bug #549: coreboot 24.05: SeaBIOS Windows 10/11 BSOD "ACPI BIOS ERROR" (Thinkpad W530) https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/549#change-1891 * Author: Simon Dominic * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Category: board support * Target version: master * Start date: 2024-07-31 * Affected versions: master * Affected hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad W530 * Affected OS: Windows 10/11 ---------------------------------------- When using the latest coreboot (i.e. using command `git clone https://review.coreboot.org/coreboot`), 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.
