How To: Mac OS X 10.5.4 for the Eee PC 1000H with Dual Boot on XP

24 09 2008

Welcome to our how-to guide for the ASUS Eee 1000h notebook. Please be sure to read our legal disclaimer before proceeding. However, this guide will work on any Eee PC 1000H nettop computer, for real.

Beyond that, read more to see the steps.

First, you will need a couple of things.

1) iDeneb 10.5.4. This is a modified version of the Mac OS X installer, which will allow installation on unsupported hardware. Due to legal concerns, we cannot provide you with a direct link. However, a BitTorrent download of it is available by searching on ThePirateBay.org as well as Demonoid.com.

2) A legal USB 2.0 DVD-ROM drive.

3) A legal copy of Mac Os or you’ll get to jail instantly.


Optional things that may help: A USB Keyboard and Mouse.

Steps before Install

1. Boot into XP

2. Next, we want to delete the empty Second Partition (Drive D) and use it for Mac OS. once you change the active partition to the 2nd partition, your machine will no longer boot. ( You can undo it with http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ and fdisk)

Make sure you’re on the desktop of your Windows installation.
Press WIN+R to open the Run prompt, then type DISKPART and press Enter.

Follow these next set of commands:

DISKPART> select disk 0

DISKPART> select partition 2

DISKPART> delete partition

DISKPART> create partition primary id=af

DISKPART> select partition 2

DISKPART> active

DISKPART> Exit

Steps to install

1) Connect the USB 2.0 DVD-ROM drive to the computer. Insert the iDeneb install disc. Power it on and rapidly press the F2 key.

2) When the BIOS menu appears, go to Onboard Devices in the BIOS and disable all items except the 2 USB items (after we install Mac OS X fully, we will change these settings).

3) The computer will reboot. Rapidly press the Escape key until a Boot Menu appears. Select the DVD drive and press any key at the prompt to boot from the disc.

4) When the Installer boots, select English as the default language. Then, go to Utilities > Disk Utility.


5) Right click on the previously created partition and delete it.

6) Proceed with the Installer as instructed. When you reach the drive selection, chose the drive you just formatted. Then press Continue. Finally, on the next screen, chose Customize to select the correct packages.

7) Click the triangle to expand the patches.
Expand the triangle for Chipsets and check ICHx Fixed.
Expand the triangle for Kernel and check Kernel 9.4.0 Vanilla.
Expand the triangle for Wireless and check Broadcom.
Expand the triangle for Fix and check both FireWire Remove and ApplePS2Controller
Expand the triangle for Video, then the triangle for Intel. Finally, check the box for GMA950.

8) Click Continue and then proceed with the installation.

9) After installation, go to the Bios and enable all Usb devices, else you get a loop in the Welcome Screen.

10) Complete the Setup Wizard which appears on first boot. Congratulations, you now have Mac OS X on your Eee PC!

Post-Install Drivers & Enhancements

So, you now have Mac OS X on your Eee PC. But, you probably notice that some things aren’t working. Namely, audio, graphics acceleration, and Wi-Fi all are not functional. In these next steps, we will install the drivers necessary to enable these features.

1) Download this installation set. It contains drivers and tools that we will use to perfect the installation. Credit goes to some of the staff at MoDaCo for helping to compile portions of the kit.

2) Extract the contents on your desktop.

3) Run the AboutThisMac tool inside the folder that you just extracted. This will correct the processor identification in the About This Mac window.

4) Now, we need to install some drivers. Copy or move the Kext Installer utility to the Applications folder. Launch it.

5) Drag all the files except AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer and AppleIntelGMA950 from the Drivers folder onto the Kext Installer window. Enter your password, and allow it to begin. When the Kext Installer completes, it will ask you to reboot. Note that if you left your password blank when setting up the Eee PC, you need to give your admin account a password. You can do this in System Preferences > Accounts. This utility will not run on an account that does not have a user password set.

6) Restart the computer, and then install the other two files.

7) Run System Preferences > Energy Saver. You should now be able to add the battery status icon to your menubar (if it wasn’t there already).

8) One last part… setting up Wi-Fi. Download this driver from chipset maker Ralink. Install the Mac OS 10.5 version of the driver from the resulting disk image. Reboot when requested.

9) To configure Wi-Fi, first launch System Preference > Network. It will alert you that a new Ethernet connector has been found. This is actually your Wi-Fi card. You can rename the device to Wi-Fi, or leave it as is. Click OK, and close out of System Preferences.


10) Connecting to a Wi-Fi network is a bit different. Instead of using the AirPort menu bar, go to your Applications folder. Launch the new utility located there, called WirelessUtilityCardbusPCI. From there, go to the Site Survey tab, and press Rescan. You should be able to chose your wireless network and connect to it, by double-clicking on the network you want to connect to. Sometimes you have to disable and enable it under the Advanced Tab (Radio). If you get always “No Device” message goto BIOS and disable Quiet Boot, and Boot Booster.

That we can choose XP while Booting, we have to make these changes in the com.apple.Boot.plist file.

11) Start the Terminal application. Type:
sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

and insert

<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Quiet Boot</key>
<string>No</string>

after
<plist version=”1.0″>
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>

12) Done!
The system will boot OS X by default, but if you press F8 when prompted, Darwin will show you a menu and you can select either Windows XP or OS X. Stay SUPER NICE! like meee!

Hallo Mr. X,

hast du die Anleitung selbst einmal ausprobiert?

Klappt die Soundinstallation und die Grafiktreiber?

Gruß

peterpeter2 (10:03:26) :

Die Grafiktreiber funktionieren problemlos, für die Soundtreiber gibt es bis jetzt noch keine Lösung ausser eine passende externe Soundkarte per USB anzuschließen.

Bei mir läuft das WLAN einfach nicht, obwohl ich nun 3 mal genau nach der Anleitung installiert habe. Kannst du mir helfen?

peterpeter2 (18:56:21) :

Vielleicht mal im Bios deaktivieren und reaktivieren… das soll helfen bei manchen.

Gerhard (11:29:30) :

Hendrik du hast doch das Railink Icon irgendwo, also die Verknüpfung.
Wenn du die startest, musst du Radio OFF und wieder ON klicken.
Damit aktivierst du die Karte unter OS X.
Das musst du nach jedem! neustart wiederholen.

Quick Boot und so muss! AUS sein im Bios.
Das WLAN muss! Aktiviert sein!
