Modifications to xboxkrnl.exe
The IDEXPRDT section has been dropped, additionally the extra data from the MS-DOS header is gone.
Guest to host communication
The entrypoint of the kernel looks like:
80030878: 56 push %esi 80030879: 57 push %edi 8003087a: 8d 05 4c ac 02 80 lea 0x8002ac4c,%eax 80030880: 0f 3f (bad) 80030882: 04 20 80030884: 8d 05 6c ac 02 80 lea 0x8002ac6c,%eax 8003088a: 0f 3f (bad) 8003088c: 04 20 8003088e: 8d 05 8c ac 02 80 lea 0x8002ac8c,%eax 80030894: 0f 3f (bad) 80030896: 04 21 80030898: 8d 05 70 94 01 80 lea 0x80019470,%eax ...
According to this document by symantec (Page 5, Left-hand-side) the patterns 0F 3F x1 x2 and 0F C7 C8 y1 y2 are used for communication with the host.
