ACPIscope says "driver failed to start" I'm on windows vista 64bit. One wierd thing is my bios reported it was sz22 before i loaded sz27. Hope i wont have an issue downgradeing to sz21. On evga there was no sz22 only sz21 and the new sz27. hmmm. Would a everest report help? on the sz27 bios?
I'm curious if in Everest it shows SLIC with: Table Length: 1060 bytes A normal SLIC is 374 bytes. If we replace the bigger, fake SLIC with a real one we'd have to delete the extra bytes in ACPITBL after it. It would a slightly riskier mod to try since that isn't ordinarily done, but probably not overly dangerous.
Not as risky as it sounds, but still risky. We have done similar on a couple of foxconn bios with slic tables. There are a couple ways of attempting this.
here is what everest says about the slic ACPI Table Properties: ACPI Signature SLIC Table Description Software Licensing Description Table Memory Address BF7EAA40h Table Length 1060 bytes OEM ID IntelR OEM Table ID AWRDACPI OEM Revision 42302E31h Creator ID AWRD Creator Revision 00000000h Also I wonder why evga decided to put the slic in the new sz27 bios. It was not in the sz21 as far as i know.
Hi Biosnoidea: Thanks, you may want to consider such messages to us by PM rather than posting in the thread.
As long as you are using Asus certificate, you don't need to do anything. Vista should stay activated after the flash.
