[SOLVED]Clevo N850HK1 ACPI patches (see #14)

[inecrafter]

I want to install Sierra on my laptop (Clevo N850HK1), and I've got the system and the built in HID working so far. My next step was going to be turning off the dGPU, but I ran into a problem I can't solve.

The guide for doing so, as seen here, tells me to patch my DSDT/SSDT, and refers to the guide here. However, when I try to disassemble my ACPI files, as shown in the guide, I get the following error:

ACPI Error: [_CST] Namespace lookup failure, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS (20161210/dswload-462)
ACPI Exception: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During namespace lookup/catalog (20161012/psobject-310)
Could not parse external ACPI tables, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS

This error also shows up when booting into e.g. Linux, but Linux just ignores it and boots anyway.

Now, the guide seems to suggest I must fix my ACPI files to remove this error, but in order to do that I must edit them, and in order to do that I must first disassemble them, but I can't disassemble them because they're broken. What crucial part of the story am I missing?

Duplicate symbols caused by duplicate SSDTs (usually the first dynamic SSDT) are covered in the guide.
Read it carefully.

First of all, thank you for the amazingly quick reaction.

I have read the guide and removed the duplicate files. Now I'm getting the same error but it applies not to _CST but to _UPC, and also, Immediately before the error it says "pass 1 parse of [DSDT]"

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Ok, I got them to disassemble by disassembling SSDT and DSDT separately. I then followed your guide on fixing Dual GPU issues, recompiled ACPI, put in in ACPI/Patched, set dropOEM=True, and...

to no one's surprise, after selecting macOS from clover I got a black screen, even in verbose mode.

Now, I suspect this is because I incorrectly patched the ACPI. This could be a result of BNUM appearing as both an external and an internal resource in DSDT, which I fixed by removing the second occurrence.

Attached is the raw output of ACPI/Origins with duplicates removed, and my disassembled version of it. If you would be so kind as to take a look at it I would be very grateful.

You need to attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

Note: Correct fix for BNUM is to remove the unneeded 'External' declaration. Anything else is wrong.

Your profile also lacks details on your laptop hardware. Please fix as per FAQ.

As per request, problem reporting files are attached. The output of the requested commands are attached as text files, but I pasted them here as well. I also attached a zip containing my clumsily patched ACPI that booted to black screen.

"Problem reporting" files must represent the problem scenario.
You mentioned having an issue booting with a certain EFI/Clover setup (patched ACPI), but then you provided no EFI/Clover with patched ACPI.
