Before you do that, would you please share your current EFI, and a PikeRAlpha's AppleIntelInfo.kext dump for me, please? Also what is the result of
in Terminal? I'm asking you this, because I noticed you are still using 0x0306A0 as FakeCPUID (Ivy Bridge-E CPUs) which doesn't support xcpm power management. In Pike's method, along the kernel patches, it's used 0x040674 as fakeCPUID (Broadwell -E, I suppose). I believe, here, that you're not using Pike's method, so those kernel patches are useless. To find out you could disable them all and try to boot as you are (in this case, mandatory NullCPUPowerManagement.kext). Would you report back, please? My guess is that if you don't use NullCPU kext right now, while you're still using 0x0306A0 as FakeCPUID, you won't boot at all! TIA
EDIT:I personally prefer the "0x0306A0 as FakeCPUID + NullCPU kext" method, for two reasons:
- It survives to system update (while kernel patches sometimes not)
- It gives a whole mid-low range of frequencies that the "kernel patches + 0x040674 as fakeCPUID" doesn't
