<< Solved >> HD 5500 panic, 128MB DVMT-prealloc

[hjin5273]

Hello, I'm working on my laptop Hackintosh, and so far it's installed.
According to Windows, there is 128MB of Dedicated Video Memory, which as far as I'm concerned means 128MB of DVMT-prealloc. So I removed the patch from RehabMan's plist for HD5500.
I booted with 0x16260006, and there is an AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer KP.
Anyone know what that's about?

windows is not a reliable source for determining DVMT values as mentioned in the faq:

It doesn't necessarily say Windows isn't a reliable source...
Having a very very locked-down BIOS, there aren't many ways to properly check for DVMT. None of the AMI tools seem to like my laptop very much, so I can't dump it.
Is there any other way to check for DVMT, so I can work around it?

Hi
While the graphics does work, I've been trying to get the sound working. Many guides tell me to place Lilu and AppleALC in EFI, which probably means I need to move WhateverGreen to EFI as well.
This causes a KP, exact same one as OP.
Is there a way to get both working at once?
Nothing has been changed on the original CLOVER.zip except the new and unedited RehabMan plist.
