Re: [coreboot] x201t + windows7
Hi, I got a checked build as well as a working `original` usbdebug device (thanks to peter and cristi). My windows got nice after I disabled lowmem with `/lowmem`. What does this means? I thought this might be a problem with the memory map? Or pci management? Missing out a memory block to mark forbidden? VideoRAM? VBIOS? [...] I've disabled a workaround for grub to free SeaBIOS from marking 0x0 - 0xfff as RAM. But doesn't help. I still get a bluescreen '... stop 0x7e'. The internet suggest a look on (video) drivers. However they're of limited use when trying to find issues in the installer, since that (at least up to Win8) is non-checked even on checked build media. Ok, I forgotten this. I'll take another try with my hdd win 7, maybe it gives me more information with usb debug than the installer does. Another thing on my list is disabling and hide useless pci device. Starting with ethernet ;). @Patrick: any further suggestions?

Re: [coreboot] x201t + windows7
Hi, have seen the same problem on all thinkpad product types supported by coreboot. Maybe someone should get a Windows Developer Edition and solve this bug ;) . Regards Zaolin Hi, I tried today a windows 7 installation usb stick and a cd disc. Both 32bit and 64bit. Both Windows' stopping at disk.sys and the hdd led on. 32bit: sometimes windows boots, most time not. Any ideas, what's wrong?

Those are called checked builds and are freely available to students through Microsoft's DreamSpark program. In addition to that you'll need another system running WinDbg (on Windows), and an EHCI USB debug or serial connection (no pci* serial card with mmio, it needs to use io ports). Most of the issues I've seen so far were somewhat ACPI related (except for one due to a messed up Int10 handler, ie VGABIOS), and I collected some bits and pieces on http://coreboot.org/ACPI. ACPI debugging is _much_ more powerful with checked builds than without, but for other issues the additional asserts, symbols and lower optimization level are useful, too. However they're of limited use when trying to find issues in the installer, since that (at least up to Win8) is non-checked even on checked build media.
