Aug 6, 2012:added SMbios "macbook pro 9,1/9,2"
requested bios mod for BIOS advanced menu unlock. (link is here)
Need to fix/Stuck On:
Need un-locked/advanced BIOS for 2012 VAIO SVS Series. (stuck on "waiting for root device" error)
progress/instructions:
Attached DSDT.aml will allow built-in-LCD support. (Thanks cyberwalrus for adding the EDID info to it)
Also attached is the Ivy Bridge SMbios. (Use SMBios "macbook pro 9,1")
Right now, becuase of (possible) AHCI issue, UniBeast USB will not boot on the VAIO. So Install Lion/MLion on another computer, and transfer the harddrive over to the VAIO. Mountain Lion will only boot with -x.
Will not boot off Unibeast created Mountain Lion USB. not even in safe mode (-x).
It will boot off a Mountain Lion partition installed under another PC, using safe mode (-x) only.
Completed:
SMbios 9,1 & 9,2 uploaded.
In Progress:
Need New un-locked/advanced BIOS (link)
