Can you post an excerpt? I don't see any differences, at least not with the new DSDT version i uploaded yesterday. Also replace the line where you find "Name (RAMB,". That is all.

Can you post an example? Usually I would say yes, it might just be a different format / optimisation caused by different iasl versions. - Updated the first post with a new DSDT and audio extension.

Yes.

That and your own modifications if you have any.

Your BIOS settings have no influence on the DSDT content.

You're right. Good to know VT-x doesn't cause any trouble, though. Why don't use use the DSDT I already uploaded?

Thanks for the info. Thats interesting. I always had it enabled and it never caused problems.

If it's "this is an unknown CPU model ..", you can ignore it. It is not an error. I can only tell you that it is probably he HD4000. I can't help you with this as I never set it up myself. Your best chance is to find some tutorial and if you don't succeed, open a new thread with the issue.

Theoretically you can but it just makes the whole process more complicated. Do you see any error messages in verbose mode (-v) ? Safe mode avoids loading additional extensions but as you installed only the FakeSMC, it must be some Apple extension. Most probably the freeze is related to the video card. I guess now is the point to make it work. Don't you have any dedicated video card? Safe mode is a good start though. Leave the DSDT aside for now, unless you make any edits that are directly related to the freeze. Also SMBIOS; you can set it up when you can boot normally.

You should just install with Chameleon and switch to Clover after you get a running system. I already told you to test Clover on a thumb drive first so you find out the settings you need.

If you got no patched kext in your Extensions folder, then it works. Also remove NullCPUPowerMagagement and others you may have installed to patch power management. If it doesn't work, Mac won't boot and you will see a message saying something about power management.

"biosrefl" to flash BIOS region, see section 5.2 for a description.

It would perhaps be faster to create a bootable DOS thumb drive and run FTK there. Never did it myself though from Mac.

It preserves everything. Its just modifies the power management module.

If you haven't got windows, create a thumb drive with DOS and do it from there. I advise you to check the ROMs you download as they can contain the serial number, MAC address and other things of the people who uploaded them. When you flash such a ROM you will lose your own data. EDIT: What should theoretically work is you upload your dcpimanager rom which should be able to be modified with PMPatch and you can flash it back. It will contain your serial numbers which won't be a problem.
