coreboot Meetings Announcement And...

Greetings,

I am not the most familiar with how Coreboot, SeaBIOS, BIOSes in general, and ACPI work, so forgive me if I am unclear.

I am trying to install Windows XP SP3 on a Thinkpad T420 which has been upgraded with an Intel i7-3632QM. I am running Coreboot (commits c4e68f6080/09eb8d0c9b) and SeaBIOS (v1.16.3/commit d239552).

I have listed two versions for both Coreboot and SeaBIOS because the former is a sensible recent build of both, while the latter is an attempt to build Coreboot with ACPI 1.0 support (and the latter SeaBIOS commit was chosen as it was made around the same time as the Coreboot commit). It seems like ACPI 1.0 backwards compatibility was dropped at commit be3979c, which could be incorrect.

What I am noticing is that regardless of whether I use the newer or older Coreboot build, Windows XP's installer shows a blue screen of death with the following STOP code: [Newer build] STOP: 0x000000A5 (0x00000011, 0x00000008, 0xF794B280, 0x20230628) [Older build] STOP: 0x000000A5 (0x00000011, 0x00000008, 0xF794B280, 0x20200110)

Parameter 4 for each of these STOP codes matches the date of the IASL version in both.

Do you have any suggestions for how I can further attempt to debug this? I'm struggling to find the release where ACPI v1.0 compatibility was officially dropped, so if it is not 09eb8d0c9b, let me know and I will attempt to rebuild and flash again.

Thank you, Grayson

Likely using windbg debugging windows kernel over serial line and some checked build of windows would help to debug that. The coreboot booted windows XP first time december 2008 (well that is a blast from the past!) using some of my patches/email attached below. Please try to check what were the tables versions (you will need coreboot SVN)

I'm not a windows expert. I think windows often checks if sizeof(acpitable) matches expected sizeof() defined in the ACPI specs. So, if you trying with ACPI 1.0 make sure to actually change sizes of the table structures, otherwise it won't work. Also make sure you don't get caught in the mess of RSDP and 1.0 https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/05_ACPI_Software_Programming_Model.html#root...

I think I had to fix FACS table size to make windows happy... (see rest of email/patches).

Thanks, Rudolf

Hi all,

I had a time and finally Windows XP boots with Coreboot + Seabios. In fact it was a clean install of WXP SP2. All went fine, windows work.

I'm attaching two patches. The first (acpi-fixes2) fixes the ACPI related problems. Some of them were identified previously by Kevin. I had just solve right _CRS reporting for PCI0 (as required by windows). This is accomplished with the k8-utils.asl code from Aruma. There was some problem, which I fixed simply by deleting that section of the code. I used acpiexec from ACPICA tools to debug the ACPI code (acpica-unix-20081204/tools/acpiexec).

What was the missing part? Windows requires right _CRS reporting of PCI0 bus. Windows needs to know platform independent way, how is I/O routed on PCI0 bus (and other busses). For K8 it means to read the I/O and MMIO routing registers (same as k8resdump provides) and make it ACPI object. This was perhaps done previously on Aruma board. The actual PCI regs are read in acpi-k8 in modelf and stored as SSDT table. The k8-util.asl code will construct the resources from that SSDT table. The only catch was that it orinally added for SB also a resource from TOM to PCI0_min. Which was invalid. This part was simply deleted as I did not need it and it was wrong anyway.

The k8-util file is copyright by AMD but no licence. I just deleted small part so I did not added myself there.

The attached patch fixes: The FADT bootarch flags Blacklists MSI for this chipset (maybe not needed) Adds modified amdk8_util.asl Adds the SSDT table to chain of tables Aligns the FACS correctly (this should be done for other boards) Adds the _CRS method to Asus M2V-MX SE acpi DSDT. Fixes the FACS table length.

The second patch just monitors what else is needed to be able to boot SeaBIOS with ACPI and K8M890 VGA ROM.

Hi

Dne 02. 04. 24 v 21:12 Grayson Guarino napsal(a):

...
Do you have any suggestions for how I can further attempt to debug this? I'm struggling to find the release where ACPI v1.0 compatibility was officially dropped, so if it is not 09eb8d0c9b, let me know and I will attempt to rebuild and flash again.

Likely using windbg debugging windows kernel over serial line and some checked build of windows would help to debug that. The coreboot booted windows XP first time december 2008 (well that is a blast from the past!) using some of my patches/email attached below. Please try to check what were the tables versions (you will need coreboot SVN)

I'm not a windows expert. I think windows often checks if sizeof(acpitable) matches expected sizeof() defined in the ACPI specs. So, if you trying with ACPI 1.0 make sure to actually change sizes of the table structures, otherwise it won't work. Also make sure you don't get caught in the mess of RSDP and 1.0 https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/05_ACPI_Software_Programming_Model.html#root...

I think I had to fix FACS table size to make windows happy... (see rest of email/patches).

So according to https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-driver-docs/blob/staging/windows-dr...

Your stop code means that windows failed to load DSDT -> "ACPI failed to load DDB." You need to make sure that you generate AML bytecode which is OK for windows. I remember there was something about 32-bit vs 64-bit integers or QWORDS.... I would suggest to try to see how the DSDT mentioned in the previous email looked like.

Maybe some 64-bit arithmetic is a problem... also try to find some microsoft document on what windows xp actually expects - I suspect it wants ACPI 1.0b.

Thanks, Rudolf

Hi,

I think there was some comment in the code that Windows XP doesn't support the ACPI QWORD data type. coreboot uses QWORD ACPI type in the DSDT. Try if locally reverting this patch [1] will change anything. Since coreboot uses a much newer ACPI version than 1, the resulting DSDT should be correct regarding this and it's likely an OS bug if that local revert fixes things.

Regards, Felix

Hi!

iASL lacks compatibility with older ACPI-drivers after some version (somewhere in early 2016). As a result, coreboot DSDT wasn't accepted by early 2.6 versions of Linux (and in all 2.4). iASL from coreboot 4.3 is OK, but iASL from coreboot 4.4 already generates incompatibility AML-bytecode.

Maybe you have the same problem, and Windows XP ACPI-driver (did you sure, that Windows XP bound to version 1.x? Not 2.x?) just didn't understand output of modern iASL?
