Finally, manage to install OS X on the s10. Basically I've got 80% things working, intel gma950 with QE/CI, sound, wifi,bluetooth, headphones,usb,webcam,touchpad with single tap and fans working. Whats not working is ethernet port, microphone and sleep. Havent try the card reader yet.

Method use, Retail dvd 10.5.4 (MBR mod) with boot132 usb to boot and chameleon bootloader.

Things needed:

1. Buy Retail DVD 10.5.4, edit it to allow to install on MBR disk.
2. External usb dvdrom
3. Generic boot 132 iso. Get it here


Followed this thread here, to install retail on the s10. The only difference is i convert my retail dvd to allow install on MBR disk . Guide here Follow the part to modify the DVD to install on MBR only.

The reason i choose MBR is i would like to dual boot with Win xp. Win XP wont install on a Guid Partition Table disk.

Overall not bad for a netbook running OS X.

Many thanks to the peeps at insanelymac and s10lenovo.com

Here are some screeniess!!

I use this temp monitor > TemperatureMonitor Should work with yr hack. Try it out.

Hi,

From your specs you should be able to install retail with boot132 without much of a problems......just that you need to disable the onboard graphics and get at least a 9800gt or the older 86 or 88 cards. That should work great with your specs.

Boot with -v and see whats the error. Could be waiting for root device. After u install Chameleon/PC EFI, did you install the necessary system kext? AppleDecrypt.kex, Disabler.kext and SMBIOSEnabler.kext?

And your modified kexts are they installed in a separate folder or in the /S/L/E folder?

Yes u can use the universal installer by PCWIZ.

Yeah the "INSTALL CUSTOM KEXT FROM HD" is where u put in all the sound and etc kexts, since you say you`re able to boot with generic.iso, why not try install the kexts from the generic.iso exclude dsmos.kext and IntelCPUMDisabler.kext (dsmos and appledecrypt has the same functions so is disabler.kext and IntelCPUMDisabler), try it and see whether it works.

BTW, try to boot with -v to single out problems.

AFAIK, there are no drivers for HD4850 yet. The best graphic card supported by hackintosh is the 9800gtx+. Could get it working with full QE/CI with minor driver installation. Same goes for the 9800gt and below and 8800 series.

cheers!

Looks like EFI-X is pretty stable......outdoorxplorer, have u update yr efi-x after u bought it? i mean is there any firmware update? or how frequent is the firmware update interval for the EFI-X.

Andiboi,

I suggest u install one of the modified distro`s first to see which works better for yr mobo (iPC,iAtkos,kalyway). Because i think efi-x does not support yr mobo its not on their compatibility list. Basically what efix can do the u can do it with the boot132 method as well. I suggest u install modified distro first to see which distro suits yr hardware, from there on u can extract the kexts and build yr own boot132 disc and use the retail disc to install retail.


As for hackintosh users, the ati 4870 will be supported in the next update 10.5.7 . On top of that, cant wait for the latest chameleon. That should be the efi-x killer, customizable bootloader with gui

PS: bizkutrai , im on the ip35-e too, quite a nice board for hackintosh eh, not much of a problem installing retail on it. Btw ure on chameleon rite? modified kext in efi partition or folder on root?

Guide for Retail install with EFI partition. Thanks to Munky of Insanelymac forums. HERE

After you`ve install leopard on your hard disk you can clone it with Carbon copy cloner. You can then restore back the image later if you got problems. Even better if you have your bootloader on another partition.


cheers!

Boot with your iatkos dvd. Go to terminal :-

sudo -s

type diskutil list (take note of the disk and partition number that u install osx on )

./fdisk -e /dev/rdiskX (where X is the appropriate disk identifier)

f 1 (where 1 is the first partition of the disk)

w

y

q

reboot, now you should be able to os x installation. Boot with -f -v.

You should have the option to choose to boot vista partition or osx partition.

cheers!

Why not try the latest version of iatkos_5i? Btw what are your pc/notebook specs?

Try this kext, should work for 10.5.6.

Need more details from you, what are your hardware specs? What distro are you using? Which kernel did you choose during installation? If possible try the speedstep kernel or voodoo kernel.

Cheers!

Whats your laptop specs? chipset? graphics? processor? U need to give more details if u want recommendations.

Should be able to work, try iatkos_5i. At the customise part choose, pc efi, intel vga efi strings for your graphic card, sata driver, OpenHaltRestart.kext and read thru the description for other options that needed to be install.

cheers!

BTW yr chipset is intel GM965 eh, with the GMA X3100. Make sure u select intel > X3100 efi strings. After installing your screen will be blank, happens on most of the gma x3100 graphics card. Screen will be blank everytime you restart. When its blank just close the lid and wait for 15-20 minutes. Come back after 20 minutes and complete the registration wizard. Once inside os x go to spaces and set "sleep display" on one of the hot corners. So everytime you restart just move your mouse to the hot corner that uve set and u`ll have yr display back.

Alternatively u can try this Sleeptrick

cheers!

Should able to work with some tweaking here and there.

Anyone manage to get XP to boot with the new Chameleon 2.0 RC1 bootloader? Tried with a usb boot loader and my XP wouldnt boot. Get blinking cursor only.

You can start with kalyway distro first, if time permits try others as well ideneb, iPC or iatkos. Make sure u read the particular distro`s readme file.

BTW chameleon 2.0 RC1 rocks!! fully customizeable GUI. heck they even have a ala boot camp like GUI.

Chameleon 2.0 Themes

credits to the peeps at insanelymac.

cheers!

Cool nice to hear that!

BTW for the p35-DQ6 what install are you using?Retail? Distro? Bootloader? If possible could u share your custom kext here. Im sure a lot of users here have the gigabyte p35 board. Seems to be quite a common board nowadays.

Chameleon 2.0 RC1 boot screens!! Fully customizable

Currently there is not that many themes around, but this are my personal favourites, ala bootcamp theme and efi-x look theme and of course not to forget the original chameleon theme.

Credits to these guys for the themes > Themes

Cheers!
