Unknown device ACPI CPL0002 2&DABA3FF&0 is showing up with a clean install of windows 10 pro on a dell alienware 13,2015 model. Any ideas what this is? Everything is working fine but like a lot of us here we want to see a clean device manager. The M18x was a fantastic machine in its day. Unfortunately the PC world moves very fast and the technology becomes outdated. The M18x R1 is limited to what can be upgraded and the best GPU's you can put in it are the GTX 780M or 880M (I prefer the 780M). The M18x R2 is not limited like the R1 is and much more recent GPU's can be used.

Good Day,
Im Trying to install El-Capitan on my Alienware M18x R1 Laptop:

1- Made Installer USB by UniBeast

2- Added 2 Kexts to EFI/Clover/10.11
  1. FakeSMC.kext
  2. VoodooPS2.. (to be able to use mouse and keyboard during installation)
3- Added the following arguments : 'dart=0 -v nv_disable=1 cpus=1 WithKext'
4- Edited SMBIOS in clover's config.plist file


  1. added:
<string>MacPro3,1</string> (I believe it should be MacBookPro8,2 because similar CPU of mine but didn't work unless i used MacPro3,1)
5- Changed Sata mode from Raid to AHCI
Finally could install it and then i installed clover on the HDD partition on the laptop so i could boot without a USB with and replaced the config.plist and the extra kexts of clover with the ones from USB
Now i need some help to see if i can make my GPU work since as i saw in some posts some mention that it worked fine but without details so couldn't know how to fix it.
now my laptop running without GPU... graphics are wired.
M18xR1 main Specs: (i'll update more details soon)
CPU: i7-2630QM (sandy bridge)

Alienware M18xr1 Driver Support


GPU: GTX 560M 1.5Gb DDR5 (no internal GPU like intel hd3000 or something )
RAM: 14GB
...
Can anyone help me please find a driver or make my GPU work?
Thanks A Lot
