Hi Mike,

I'm rebasing my patches and they are available in my branch:

https://github.com/lcp/edk2-platforms/commits/vlv2-fixes-wip

It's based on edk2(dcce9cbd48e07fcd11f7ef34cad48faf7bb61e6e)
and edk2-non-osi(de0a6bc19c4ee0468f04e4d37035cdc59558137f).

There are 3 problems I currently encountered, and maybe you can give me
some suggestions.

1. Missing DSDT

When compiling DSDT, iasl failed with this error:

DSDT.iiii   6077:             Or(ShiftLeft(Derefof(Index(CDCT, \_SB.PCI0.GFX0.MCHK.DCFE)), 21),PARM, PARM)                                           
Error    6163 -                                                                      ^ Object is created temporarily in another method and cannot be accessed (\_SB.PCI0.GFX0. MCHK.DCFE)

The code is from Silicon/Intel/Vlv2DeviceRefCodePkg/AcpiTablesPCAT/IgdOGBDA.ASL

I have to comment out the line or iasl won't generate the aml file and
the OS would fail to get DSDT.

My acpica version is 20190509, and I vaguely remember that the older
acpica seems to be more tolerant to this error.

2. Crash at SMBIOS driver

When booting the system, I got the following error:

dll (ImageBase=0000000078DBA000, EntryPoint=0000000078DBEC3C) !!!!

I disaseembled MiscSubclass.debug and found that the address is a "ud2"
instruction at
SmBiosMiscDxe/MiscBaseBoardManufacturerFunction.c:MiscBaseBoardManufacturer()

After adding a few more debug messages, the system crashed at another
function:
SmBiosMiscDxe/MiscSystemManufacturerFunction.c:AddSmbiosManuCallback()

If I added debug messages to both functions, the system booted
successfully. I currently didn't have any clue on this.

3. The firmware always booted into EFI shell.

I guess something went wrong with BDS. I haven't looked into this issue
yet.

Thanks,

Gary Lin
