any Fixing in my dsdt and ssdt or not

It depends on whether you have any problems to fix.
Test your laptop.

I haven't dug through the 265 pages of this thread, but I'm stuck and hopeful someone could help me understand something. I tried Googling it but couldn't find anything.

I've tried the F4 and FNF4 at the bootloader, but the EFI/Clover/ACPI folder is empty. I'm assuming I'm just not understanding something, but that's where I'm stopped in the guide so far. Thank you for any help you can provide. On that note, I'm not even sure my EFI partition is setup properly...but one problem at a time I think.. xD

*EDIT*: Not sure if it's helpful, but I've uploaded the debug output from the script in the FAQ.

*EDIT2* Since I'm fairly convinced my problem above was related to the extensive mucking about on my first install, I've decided to just nuke everything and start over, reinstalling what I know works and going through more Rehabman's guides.

No files in ACPI/origin. Press F4 and Fn+F4 at the main Clover screen.
Also, your config.plist is wrong.
See here:

Don't forget to update Clover to latest RehabMan build. It is required for AutoMerge=true, which this guide (and other subguides) assumes.

Hi Rehabman,

Yes, I mentioned having tried both F4 and FN F4, but it did not add the files. I forgot to come back to edit after my complete reinstall, but I am successfully populating those files now as of an hour or so ago. As I suspected, I think I previously messed up my EFI partition. It appears to be in good working order now.

I believe I have the latest build, but I'll doublecheck. Thanks!

Disassembling ACPI files

Although the extracted native files can be opened directly in MaciASL, it is not recommended. Opening an AML file directly in MaciASL will cause MaciASL to disassemble the file (with iasl) standalone, and if the AML has complex references to other AMLs, it will not disassemble it correctly. You'll be left with many hard to fix errors.

As a result, it is better to disassemble all files as a group using iasl in Terminal. To prepare, place all DSDT and SSDT files in a single directory (DO NOT copy ACPI files that don't begin with DSDT or SSDT), and change the names such that they have an .aml extension.

Then disassemble in OS X Terminal:

cd "to directory where you placed all SSDT/DSDT"
iasl -da -dl DSDT.aml SSDT*.aml

It's me again.. ><

So I'm at this part in the guide. I moved the DSDTs and SSDT files to a new folder on my desktop and then ran the terminal command. It tells me I don't have permission to do that.

What simple thing has my fried brain over looked this time? =/

*Edited for spelling/grammer because was up all night. Again.

You will need to show the actual error such that we can see what exactly you're doing.

Hey there. Sorry for the late reply. Took a much needed nap. This is killing my brain.. xD

Attached is a screenshot showing that I typed what I saw in the guide, the files in their folder, and if you look closely at the bottom right, you'll see the folder on the desktop. Hopefully you can read the terminal output, which says "-bash: /usr/bin/iasl: Permission denied"

I'm assuming that what I'm not understanding is that "SSDT*.aml" part... I'm typing it as I see it, but am I missing the meaning of the astrik perhaps?

Your iasl in /usr/bin probably has incorrect permissions (no execute permissions).
Fix with:

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/iasl
