Ok, now I did this: for (i = 0; i < systab->nr_tables; i++) { acpi_physical_address table; void *config_tables; efi_guid_t guid; if ((unsigned long)systab->tables >> 32) <--- asm volatile("1:\n jmp 1b"); config_tables = (void *)(systab->tables + size * i); It did stop at the endless loop there which would mean that systab->tables is simply pointing somewhere into the weeds. Asm is: --- # arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:96: asm volatile("1:\n jmp 1b"); #APP # 96 "arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c" 1 1: jmp 1b # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP movq 112(%rcx), %rdi # systab_147->tables, _31 .L29: # arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:98: config_tables = (void *)(systab->tables + size * i); addq %r9, %rdi # ivtmp.64, config_tables # arch/x86/boot/compressed/acpi.c:104: guid = tmp_table->guid; --- and RDI is rdi 0x630646870 in gdb. systab itself gets computed to something low: 0x3fedb010. Hmmm. Could it be that that EDK BIOS image is buggy?
