Kevin,
This patch still has issue, It can boot Windows 2008 DataCenter, however, when run "cpu_set cpu online" command, windows 2008 Datacenter system shutdown at once.
Thanks for testing.
I've inspected the generated DSDT and SSDT files, and I don't see anything wrong with them. (To inspect a generated SSDT, uncomment the call to hexdump(), cut and paste the hexdump output into SeaBIOS' tools/transdump.py, and then call "iasl -d" on the output.)
It seems the Windows acpi interpreter is significantly different from the Linux one. The only guess I have is that Windows doesn't like one of the ASL constructs even though they all look valid. I'd try to debug this by commenting out parts of the ASL until I narrowed down the parts causing the problem. Unfortunately, I don't have Windows 2008 to do this directly.
Any other ideas?
