Size of the DSDT file is too large (> 64k). Try to build the template from another computer

[lzkcmy]

What shall I do?What's the problem?

[eyesonly]

I too get this problem, and have tried running the script on all of my machines. I assume this then results in the error "ACPI tables bigger than 64KB (VERR_TOO_MUCH_DATA) when attempting to start the guest.

Not sure what I can do - perhaps download a DSDT file found from the internet?

[lzkcmy]

I have solved this problem, you need to run the code on an old computer! (The shell script of the virtualbox need a DSDT file which sholud be smaller than 64KB.)

[nsmfoo]

That is correct, is a know issue with Virtualbox, there is requests to change the limit as it makes most new machines unusable. So as @lzkcmy wrote, boot up and old computer and run the script on that one, later on you can use your new computer

[ryanvillarreal]

What is meant by an "old" computer? x86?

[dashjuvi]

What if you dont have an "old computer"? Cant something be done to fix that?

[SalehAce1]

Will this ever get fixed? My computer is 4 years old and it still gives me that error.

[MasterCATZ]

facepalm none of my old bootable machines from last decade will so this :S
unless I did up my old p4 or p2

or just get some random one from here

[nsmfoo]

@MasterCATZ thanks for the URL, could be very useful for people not being able to create their own. Also buggin Oracle about the issue might be a way forwards as well.. maybe one of these days they will make a change ...

How do I substitute a suitable dsdt for the one used by the script/ provided by an unsuitable computer?

[looi-wh]

To anybody still figuring it out:
download a random one from the link below:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt-database

rename it from *.aml to *.bin where * is your current .bin file.
run the shell script after that, it should work

[nsmfoo]

@looi-wh good comment! If you like, you are more than welcome to create a PR for an updated to the README file. If not I will add this shortly.
