Drop OEM -> system won't boot

[martinweiss]

My machine is acting up, and I'm not sure why.

System specifications:

• GA-Z97N-Gaming 5 motherboard.
• Intel i5-4460 CPU.
• Clover UEFI bootloader.

I generated SSDT.aml using your script:

I placed SSDT.aml in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched. When I tick off "Drop OEM" in the SSDT section in my config.plist, my computer won't boot:

I'm sure your tool is working as it should, it must be me doing something wrong. Should I have copied more files to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched? Thanks in advance.

Drop OEM can be problematic. Look here #102

The problem was an object defined in SSDT-4 that was used from the DSDT. First locate the SSDT that is causing the boot failures (might even be the same) and then solve it as I suggested.

I personally never use Drop OEM if I'm using an SSDT. My logic is that when you tell clover to Drop OEM, it doesn't drop the tables read from the motherboard, but the ones read from the SSDT file because the SSDT file becomes the OEM table at boot... My logic might be wrong though. Just a thought.
