What a great community! Thank you for the speedy response!Lauscher wrote:Hello sonicfrequency,
You only write "SLIC.bin". Try to give the full path to the file:VBoxManage setextradata "win7" "VBoxInternal/Devices/acpi/0/Config/SLICRom" "SLIC.bin"Use correct typing BIG/small. My VM-folder is written "VirtualBox VMs", not "virtualbox vms". Maybe this could be a problem, too.Code: Select all
/root/virtualbox vms/win7/SLIC.bin
I don't know.Is there an ExtraDataItems parameter to change the memory read location?
I've input the directory location exactly, copying the output from the pwd terminal command while Im in the directory my SLIC.bin resides in. I've also copied SLIC.bin to the root directory at ~/ and attempted to reference it using the absolute path "~/SLIC.bin."
If I remove all "ExtraDataItem" parameters from the vbox file and only leave the "ExtraDataItem" that references the SLIC.bin file, I still receive the "Configuration error: Invalid config key for ACPI device." Of course things boot normally but unlicensed once I remove the SLIC.bin "ExtraDataItem" parameter too. Then were back to the win7.vbox file's default configuration.
Should the VM boot with just the SLIC.bin extradata parameter? (No other "ExtraDataItem" parameters) If so, I know there is an error with the SLIC.bin file.
EDIT: I have also tried other Dell SLIC2.1 ROMS I've found. I just update the "ExtraDataItem" parameter to reference the location I put the ROM in. Virtualbox results in the same error.
Again, thank you SO MUCH for your response!
