Stickpin method should work, review back your steps. Else just use the generic iso to boot and install retail.

Or you could try SLimbuild method to create yr boot 132 cd.
Put custom kexts in extensions folder, mod kernels in kernels folder and boot.plist file in plist folder. Run sudo ./slimbuild2.sh

Yes you can use the vanilla kernel, i think yr intelCPUMdisabler/Disabler kext is not loaded iinm. Could you boot with -v and check whats the error. Try bootin retail with the boot 132 cd or usb.

Yeah yr steps seems ok....should work flawlessly with the right kexts.

BTW what graphic card ure using?

hmm i will attempt with 10.5.4 after go home
lastnite not success.. sigh

Has anyone sucessfully installed OSX on Inspiron 640M?

i used the SlimbuildGUI from PCWizcomputer.com instead of running through Terminal (not comfortable and not sure what i'm doing)

i managed to get a video tutorial from Vimeo but i dunno where to find the kernel and plist. what is plist by the way?


the only kext i found for my motherboard seems to be the one attached (below) for the ALC662 audio kext. everything else seems to run OTB. that was the reason i insisted on this motherboard after reading the installation wiki on 10.5.2 on OSX86Project.org


this is my hardware
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53Ghz 1066fsb 3mb
RAM: 2GB Kingston PC800 DDR2 x 2
Video: ATI Radeon Sapphire HD3650 512MB DDR2

is there a kext for this card? Apple Software Update seems to recognize it as a ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT and prompts me to do a Firmware Update all the time.

manage to install OEM Leopard 10.5.4 & update to 10.5.6 w/out hassle



really, the performance much different. can feel it much much smoother than previously(leo4all)

credit to skitZo` for helping me a lot, thanks a lot pals.. i owe u 1

i need atheros l2 driver!!!!

im thinking getting msi wind as i find its the best lappie around for hacintoshes. all the hardware working out the box. no need to do extra effort what say u guys?

Yeah, msi wind is okay...the top three netbooks to get for hackintosh is in no particular order the msi wind, dell mini 9 and Lenovo s10. All three seems to work quite well with os x with a few tweaks needed here and there.

Jz got myself an S10...will try to install os x on it later tonite.

Hope everything works ......but i know for sure the LAN wont work.

cheers!

nice! perhaps u could list down ur personal thought regarding the installation of osx upon s10. might help the community, atleast for sharing info

gud luck bro

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!!

ghezzz.. that awesome "macbook" u go there
nice works, btw, what the temp. monitor dya use?
seems working pretty well

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

i use istat for temp monitor. look much better.

ive try just now, seems it cant detect cpu temp. but only hdd temp.
correct me if im wrong

it can detect all my temp. will put some pic later. the only different is i use it on my alu macbook not hackintosh. while i was in hackintosh b4, i also use tempmonitor..

okie gonna convert my gf S10 with Skitzo's help over the weekend......


yahooOoooO!!!!!!!

hmm with the efi-x or hackintoshing using retail dvd...can we actually dl the dvd from somewhere and burn it into dvd to use it rather than buying it? just curious ><

efi-x should be the same as efi emulator i believe
hackintosh & boot with retail dvd are same, BUT the hackintosh easily break when installing official apple update while retail installation dvd never, at least for time being

if u could get the retail un-modified osx image/iso/dmg u can do the retail dvd install
u can burn em' into double layer dvd+r

sorry for the noob question but i dont really wanna spoil my workstation
i wonder is the rig compatible for leopard?

Intel Xeon X3220 2.40GHz Kentsfield
MMX,SSE,SSE2,SSE3,SSSE3,EM64T
motherboard:DG35EC
Chipset:G35

if u wanna most compatible, should get the imac or mac pro then
