[Xen-devel] [PATCH][HVM][ACPI] Introduce a compatible rev1 FADT to fix ACPI Windows 2000 installation
This patch adds a revision 1 FADT in ACPI, and relinks the original rev. 4 FADT only to XSDT. It avoids a buffer overflow in the initialization of Window 2000 ACPI HAL (pre ACPI 2.0 OS), and thus enables the installation and boot. This compatibility practice is also used in hardware, please refer to: http://www.acpi.info/presentations/S01USMOBS169_OS%20new.ppt Signed-off-by: Qing He <qing.he@intel.com> _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
