Can you say something about what was required to do this? Yes, sure. I talked to Rudolf about what is to do to get windows working. His explanation was quite easy: You'll need the _CRS symbols in your dsdt.asl.
I had a look at his dsdt.asl from asus/m2v-mx_se, and saw that there are not much _CRS symbols in it. Keyboard, Mouse, Floppy, and the PCI root device has _CRS Symbols. Afterward I had a look at my disassembled vendors dsdt.asl, and added the _CRS Symbols with the values for my hardware. The first try on installing the windows 7 build 7100 lead into a "STOP: 0x0000005a 0x000000d ... ... ..." I had a look at the "STOP 0x000000A5" page from Microsoft's support site [1], and discovered that Parameter1 0xd means that there is some _HID or _ADR symbol missing. After rechecking my dsdt.asl with Rudolf's I found quite fast out that he had an _ADR value for Device(ISA), so I added this value according to my hardware, and tried again installing Win7. That was all, which has lead to success with coreboot and windows. :) [1]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314830/en > //Peter Regards, Harald
