The compresed size of the oems.bin should be the same as the compresed size of the ACPITBL.BIN and does keeping the relative offsets of the other bios modules. You can tweak the size of the compresed oems.bin by inserting and releasing it from the bios. While at the same time adding and deleting randoom bytes after the SLIC at oems.bin. Once you get the wright size of the compresed oems.bin, the temp file that is created named bios.rom is the compresed oems.bin and should be replaced with the ACPITBL.BIN in the bios which is also compresed. You also need to corect the size of the RSDT table, couse you added four bytes at the end of the RSDT table. Also you have to calculate the offset of the SLIC that you insterted in the bios thru the compresed oems.bin and add that adress at the end of the RSDT table, by replacing the 4 zero bytes that you added earlyer. Dont orient by FACP table, but by the size of the RSDT, which is indicated by the byte right after the T at the string RSDT. And most importatnt is that you need to flash this mod using awdflash, not ezflash. Can you please upload the mod you did ?
Petar is right. The call of SLIC has to be right before the BOOT table string (last four bytes of RSDT table!!!) But you don't need the OEM7 method. Extract and release ACPItable. Insert SLIC as nocompress rom. Locate SLIC at biosfile, calculate SLIC address at physical memory, modify acpitable and add it again.... Anyway, awdbedit is known as a notorious bios killer! So it could be that even when you've corrected all errors, the structure of the bios mod is still messed up. In that case you have to do a totally manual mod, which is time consuming. Therefore you need to know all about the structure of Award bioses and about the SSV3 method......
Thank you all. I am making progress. Learned that my bios has extra checksum at end of every module so almost all tools don't work except ACBROM.EXE that works perfectly. So now I can add and remove modules with ease. Tried it with ACPITBL.BIN and it was added to the end and no brick I have a question, for activation to work with any mod(BBPUBKEY/BBMARKER, ISA, OEM7), do you MUST see SLIC in ACPI using EVEREST? EDIT: Here is what I can confirm. Infact the slic.bin is added correctly to bios and loads in ram. HWDIRECT memory dump below.
