Hi:
Allocation requests of Type AllocateAddress means allocate pages at the
address pointed to by Memory on input. If the requested pages could not be
found, EFI_NOT_FOUND will return.
For your issue, the memory described by PhysicalAddress should not be
available. So, EFI_NOT_FOUND returns. Do you mean that you call GetMemoryMap()
and see the memory pointed by PhysicalAddress is free? If yes, could you show
the free memory layout and PhysicalAddress value?
Thanks

Subject: [edk2] AllocatePages returns EFI_NOT_FOUND
Hi all,
I have an UEFI application in which I try to allocate memory of type
EfiBootServicesData, using the AllocatePages function. In order to find the
next available (unallocated) memory space - of type EfiConventionalMemory - I
use the GetMemoryMap function. The problem which I'm facing is that when I try
to allocate memory at one particular address, the AllocatePages function
returns EFI_NOT_FOUND. This issue happens every time, when the application is
executed, and at the exact memory address; for all remaining free memory blocks
the allocation performs without problems.
I am calling the allocation function as follows:
gBS->AllocatePages ( AllocateAddress, EfiBootServicesData, NumberOfPages,
&PhysicalAddress );
Is this scenario a memory access error?
How should I interpret this?
Thanks,
Sorin
