This would be so much easier with a new install.

You can get into safe mode at least, thats something.

To get mouse an keyboard working you'll need to manually edit the registry offline to get them installed.

using a working windows install take everything from

	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HID
	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdclass
	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdhid
	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mouclass
	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mouhid
	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\HID
	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\kbdclass
	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\kbdhid
	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\mouclass
	Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\mouhid
	

and copy these keys across over to your XP registry.

can you do a hack in your USB driver to bypass USB\RESET_FAILURE for the 149C controller?

@simon73

Can you get into safe mode?

@simon73

What BSOD are you getting?

@ExtremeGrief

download latest iasl

https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/iasl-win-20211217.zip

run acpidump -b

zip all .dat files it spits out and send to me

@ExtremeGrief

Can you dump and upload your ACPI tables for your 149C system? I want to compare them to mine.

@ExtremeGrief

His Windows7 build did not get 149C working for me, I confirmed the USB3 driver was working though with a 3rd party PCI-E USB3 card.

His Windows8 build hard froze at the swirling circle and would not POST again on reset, needed to do a cold boot to get it to POST again.

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD

Is there a tutorial out there anywhere for how to go about debugging an A5 BSOD?

Does anyone know what the ACPIex.sys driver does? It was introduced in windows 8.0 onwards.

I wonder if that driver is why the 149C USB controller starts correctly on windows 8.0?

I'm just speculating though.

@simon73

don't forget to copy ntoskrn8.sys too.

have you created the required "storahci" and "usbxhci" services in registry?

@Andalu

OK, confirming my experimental HAL is broken, thanks for testing.

@Dietmar

I've made an experimental HAL and ntoskrn8.sys for XP.

Does XP work correctly with these?

Hey @Mov AX, 0xDEAD

I want to try my hand at debugging an A5 BSOD on Windows 8.0 that I get on my Threadripper system, although I'm a complete novice at doing this.

I want to try and trace to find the exact cause of the A5 BSOD on my hardware.

It happens even in the windows 8.0 PE environment.

Can you show me how to get started on this? Windows 8.0 has native kdnet support at least so that should be easier to get started with I think.

@ExtremeGrief

So you're using XP with bootmgr now and not NTLDR?

@ExtremeGrief

Oh, your probably referring to the windows8 pre-install environment that it now ships with to apply the XP install.wim/esd

He themed it to look like XP but it's windows8 underneath.

@ExtremeGrief

can you let me know how? hopefully it works for my case.

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD

What does it mean when you get a 7F BSOD but all 4 parameters are all 0 ?

@Andalu

It's interesting that it gets to that point.

I think setupldr needs to be coded to load the additional dependency files i.e ci.dll/clfs.sys/pshed.dll for it to work.

@George King @ExtremeGrief

grr!

I can't delete the temp files! even when I run as admin! damnit!

how do I get rid of them now?

@ExtremeGrief

OK, I'll do that.

P.S Is there a guide I can use out there somewhere? I'm not even sure I'm doing everything in the right order, I'm just guessing.

@George King

I'm still confused.

@George King

Is there a guide for your XP2ESD? I'm not sure how to run it.

@canonkong

My GT 710 has no option for HDMI sound.

@canonkong

Not for me unfortunately, I have the exact same USB problem in XP textmode setup where no HDMI sound driver is present.

If @daniel_k is correct and it's an ACPI problem (I think he is correct) then solving this is issue unlikely without an ACPI driver patch.

@Thor55

It is unfortunate that you have such troublesome hardware. Sorry the existing patches do not work for you.

@Mov AX, 0xDEAD @Dietmar

BSOD A5 0x14 - ACPI could not parse the resource descriptor. The length exceeds MAXULONG.

This one is unusual, thoughts?
