Problem with booting windows 8 on Minnowmax with Coreboot+seabios

[zahra rahimkhani]

I am trying to install windows 8 on coreboot (4.11 branch) + seabios.

The installation stops with the following error message:

Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code: 0x0000005c
Parameters:
0x0000000000008000
0x000000000000000B
0x0000000000000000

I investigated the error message and found Microsoft's explanation
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/-0x0000005c-stop-error-code-or-assertion-failure-in-the-startup-process-if-you-enable-driver-verifier-in-windows-server-2008-r2-e34607aa-443b-2727-5d02-8b967e05e902
of 0x0000005c error code. But I don't know how to fix it.

I would appreciate it if anyone can help me figure out the solution.

Unfortunately, MS Windows installation is not well tested on most 
coreboot devices.

Some people work around the installation issues by installing Microsoft 
Windows on the drive on a different system, and then plug it in. Often 
the already installed Microsoft Windows has less problems than the 
installer.

Kind regards,

--8<-- From that page
Cause

This issue occurs because the ACPI driver (Acpi.sys) incorrectly
   creates a duplicated physical device object (PDO) when some APIC IDs
   are larger than a value of 255.

You would have to dive into the ACPI table swamp in the coreboot
source for your mainboard and/or platform.

Given the above cause maybe someone else can provide a hint or even a fix.

The MSFT hotfix for the issue can unfortunately only be used on an
already installed system.

If you're able to boot to linux then take dump of ACPI table and also dmesg
log. This will be good starting point to understand ACPI issues.
