I better explain myself clearer, I think With P5B Deluxe I end with 2 files after converting= old bios and new one with the_SLIC With P5QL PRO I end with 4 files after converting=old bios, new one modded with the _SLIC, one 1B and finally 1B_SLIC. Should I disregard these last 2 ones and trust the modded one with the _SLIC is ok?
1B.BIN and 1B_SLIC.BIN should always be created. Provided the tool pops up a dialog box at the end says it was successful all should be OK. Andy
Andy, thanks, I screwed up ! Told you I am ignorant.................I did again and is exactly what you said so I might have deleted them.......... I see your RC12. I have ASRock (second class Asus with AMI). Thanks. I have one of those so I will give it a try. Cheers
STOP !!!! STOP !!!!!! I went back and used the old RC6 with OTHERS in the manufacturers name and SS2 AND......AND...... SUCCESS !!!!!!!! It worked. Andy, not sure what is going on with version RC12 but found old threads my 911Medic and mentions of RC 6 in an ASUS and that made me go back to the old one. If you want I can do it again and log it? I am happy to help and learn. You put lots of efforts like others to help so it is payback time !

Hi Thanks for the feedback. RC12 recognises ASRock (although it doesn't in this case - there are no identifiable strings) and, by default, will not allow an SSV2 mod to place the SLIC after the AMIBIOSC header in the ROM image. This is because of a known problem with an ASRock BIOS reported in the main thread. Almost all ASUS BIOSes have the same problem. It is interesting to hear that yours is OK. I will make it flag a warning with the option to continue rather than bail completely. SSV3 doesn't work because there is not enough space. (Also, There was a problem around RC6 when the 'force SLIC below' option was not being correctly recognised - hence why it worked!) Cheers Andy
Andy, thanks and happy to help........with my limited knowledge. Interesting to see that RC12 would find the RSDT table different that RC6 RSDT table found at 348B9 This is RC12 RSDT table found at 349A9 This is RC6 And then all the sequencies of "too small" so it gives me the idea is trying to fit to the correct size till finally does it ? They also see the 1B module as different sizes. Cheers
Hi all! Fisrt of all, thank you to all for your input and share of the know-how. Thanks to it, I've became a bit more knowledgeable about all this "bios oem thing", Now, since I'm still with a few (lot) of doubts, I would to ask a few questions: This is to make SLP1.0 Bios for Windows Home Server activation. I have an ASUS P5KPL-VM MB with 0802 Bios. I'm have the latest one, which is the 0904 already prepared to update via Asus Update tool for Windows. I already hexed another copy of the 0904 Bios with the "Hewlett-Packard" string trough the "slic100rc10". Since Asus Update Tool for Windows recognize the hexed version as a OK Bios, can I flash it trough that program or is it better to do it trough DOS afudos? Also, can I hexed the Bios with only SLP (one string), only with SLIC (one string) or can I make a Bios with SLP and SLIC strings in one go? Since the SLP and SLIC differ (for HP for instance), what I wanted to do was have, in the same Bios, activation for WHS (SLP) and activation for Server 2008 (SLIC). Thank you all, for any input you can share....
