!!!! X64 Exception Type - 0D

Post by ravi »

i am trying to execute an old .efi file (an assembly file, compiled in fasm) on intel CRB

when i execute this file in slimboot(+ uefi payload), at lines where some of the uefi functions are called(EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.HandleProtocol), a general protection exception is thrown.

But same file executes perfectly in AMI BIOS.

That's not really enough information to figure out what's wrong.

Since you wrote it in assembly, it's possible your code doesn't follow the ABI correctly somewhere, or you might have an absolute address without a relocation. It could also be an ordinary logic bug, such as assuming a particular call will always succeed.

If you share the code, we might be able to find the problem.
