Talk:Windows 8 build 7898 (fbl core1 kernel npc ext)

Hanging problem

Today I was finally able to stage my first WIM, and I used this build to test. But, after applying modifications to the BCD (from the QEMU guide for the 79xx build range), I am only able to boot to the Windows Boot Manager, before the OS freezes on the Loading Windows Files screen with no file actually being loaded. Did I forget something while configuring the VHD maybe? AlfCraft07 20:06, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Use the Tegra2 QEMU, it should boot natively. https://github.com/Wack0/tegra2_qemu_woa/actions/runs/10776554613/artifacts/1909936432 and https://github.com/Wack0/tegra2_qemu_woa/releases/download/20240909/woa_t2_patched_uefi.zip , use HARMONY.fd.multi, rename it to HARMONY.fd, then use this: qemu-system-arm -M tegra2-qemu -m 1G -bootloader HARMONY.fd -device usb-tablet -device usb-kbd -drive if=sd,index=0,file=%MAIN% -serial null with MAIN being your VHD with the install media on it. Don't forget to get the bootmgfw.efi from the boot.wim in \Windows\Boot, then throw it into \EFI\Boot of the installation media as "bootarm.efi" Main3782 (talk) 20:10, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

The setup hangs as well. It remains stuck on the Starting Windows screen with no Windows logo. AlfCraft07 11:50, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

I already have a staged VHD with boot files already created, but QEMU won't even find the hard disk AlfCraft07 20:40, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

After trying multiple times with the Tegra2 QEMU, I still get a hang, but it's further ahead at CLASSPNP.sys, right before loading the boot screen and system. I also re-staged the image. The 7792 pre-staged VHD boots. AlfCraft07 17:15, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Enabling Aero

So I was finally able to install the build in the Tegra2 QEMU, but Aero doesn't work. Do I need to install some kind of driver, or is there any other fix? We all know it can work thanks to a couple screenshots on the build page. I checked dxdiag, where I saw that the driver was loaded and I have full D3D acceleration.
