    For NameBrand:

    Since acpi table already has a slic let's try pubkey/marker method. It might not work but it's usually safe to try and is nice dynamic mod when it works.

    - Motherboard Manufacter And Model : EVGA X58 SLI
    - Bios Revision : SZ27
    - Bios Type : AWARD

    Asus slic added:

    Edit: link removed--awdflash invalid license error.

    Method used: pubkey/marker

    Awdflash says that with my motherboard too if the key/marker isn't already in current bios. The built in EZ Flash utility doesn't care though so that's a workaround if you have it available.

    There are some more things that could be tried such as renaming the fake slic or replacing it with a real one. I have to get going but I'm sure someone will have another mod for you to try before too long.

    No problem, take your time. You are not obligated to do this. You are basically doing it as a community service and I do appreciate
    it...

    Change the SLIC table name to SLEC in the acpitbl.bin.

    The SLIC is easy to find and has intel OEM/Table id. This should cure what ails ya..:D

    It is at 0001570h...

    Thanks Medic. Yep - I did not see this. Did the change and now we have a bigger problem - CMOS checksum error and he cannot get into the BIOS. I will leave the mod link so that you/Zort can take a look at it. I will put a big warning so that no one else downloads and flash it. :(
