I'll give it a shot. I did not know that. This shows that I should read more! Yeah, that did it. Thanks Zort. Now one more question. Since I have the option to mod with any SLIC2.1, which one should I choose so that once RTM for Windows 7 is released, I will just have the get the cert once it is leaked and use it to activate my copy. In other words, which certificate is expected to be leaked first?
You should use the ISA mod that you made-- it sounds like that's the best option for that bios. ISA works with a lot of Award bioses but not all (especially not for newer Gigabytes). pubkey/marker - adds public key & marker modules to end of bios. Mostly works for Asus mb. No existing modules are modified. 0+2 - adds no compress module containing slic to end of bios. Adjusts system and acpitbl modules. isa - adds an isa module to end of bios that with code to add the slic during boot. No existing modules are modified.
