Same to you & Thanks for your response, it took me some additionaly reading, but you realy helped me on the way to understand this better.

Pretty awesome, I am just using PC_EFI 10.5 with that patch applied and it's working great.
One additional kext less again.

Well OK. I admit I have expected this to be a little easier.
Though I have it working with that booter, I took some further reading through that topic and found the point where Duvel300 explained how-to hex edit the .aml and cparm explained what he changed at his table to fix it:

Now PM2 Control Block Length, C2 Latency & C3 Latency already have the correct values in my .dsl the two other sections cparm mentioned in his posting are not even present in my decompiled table.
Is that what Andy ment when he told me that my attached table is incomplete?

I hope I am not behaving completely stupid here / not digging it...
