I have installed a larger battery, sometimes it is not recognised and my "about this mac" power tab, and battery time icon revert bact to the old (smaller) battery's stats.

This problem occurs when I power on using the battery alone (not the AC) after the EEE has been left for a while, say overnight.

The problem doesn't happen if i remove the AC cable after powering on and then run on battery.

Can I change a setting somewhere to fool the computer into recognising my new battery every time?

I was just looking for something that would allow me to switch between headsets to speakers without having to unplug the headset… but apparently this doesn't work now I have no sound :(

Anyone have any ideas how to make this work?

MAC Framework successfully initialized

hope some1 can help me, id realy like to run sl on my 904hd .
thanx

I've installed the OSX in my Asus eee pc 1001p which followed the procedure in this web site. After finished, the system is reboot automatically but cannot go into the OSX. It only shown

MBR=0
ROOT=0

Kindly please me know what is the problem. Thanks a lot!

I have 10.5.8. retail with some minor mods to kexts. After editing voodoopower.kext i have speedstep working but my mac model is MacBook4.1 which is not right and ude to it system is hot and fan is working all the time.

Thanks

BUT i dont know why because on further installs it worked, if i hold down win+f12 nothing happens.. i was searching and i think it has to do with the eject function that this key has on macbooks without extra eject key. therefore if you hold f12 more then a second it would eject your cd/DVD. this function blocks my volume control.. could this problem caused by the Enable Remote CD - Function of NBI? or do you know any way to disable this eject feature??

just trying to install on my 1000H.. :)

Unlike other battery utilities, it works really well with the hackintosh. You can use it to calibrate your battery or even replace the default battery display at the menu bar.

Google around, you may even be able to find a 'free' version.

now, I have installed osx 10.5.6 (iDeneb v1.4) on my eeepc 1000h with a modified BIOS) by following this manual osrom http://www.enik.ch/2008/10/osx-leopard-1055-on v1103 -the-eee-1000h /

well, I'm thinking of reformatting the eeepc and I've been reading a bit but I am somewhat confused.

snow leopard can be installed with the asus official BIOS 2204? or modded bios is needed like v2102 by alex_l??

I preferred using the official BIOS, then I found this howto for the 1000HE but also is valid for the 1000h?

http://technow.cc/2009/10/03/osx-10-6-1-snowleopard-on-the-eee-1000he-part-1/comment-page-5/

with the official bios I need to use a DSDT v2204 to OSX boot up, not?

I appreciate any help or links to tutorials or information

thank you very much for the help

regards

This is my first post!
I have been trying to install OS X on my eee 1000h for a while now, and every dvd image I used has failed me somehow.
I tried iDeneb v1.4 10.5.6, Snow Leopard 10.6.2, and iPC 10.5.6.
Here is my issue so far:

I can install iPC 10.5.6 to my partitioned HD no problem. The boot is the issue.

I CANNOT boot without having my dvd in and specifying rd=disk0s2.

If I try a boot without the DVD, I get stuck at MAC framework successfully initialized EVERY TIME in EVERY version of OS X.
(I've tried every boot option (-x -f -s -v cpus=1) but nothing works)

So I'm guessing this is a BIOS issue with ACPI or something? I need a modded BIOS ROM? (I've done my research)

When I download a modded BIOS and install it…it works…but the boot still doesn't.

When I boot with the DVD in and specify rd=disk0s2, it boots fine and OS X loads, but won't load any kexts I've installed or locate any hardware.

The ralink wireless utility says "No Device!". I've installed the kexts for the better screen resolution, audio, and wireless and kext helper b7 says everything worked…reboot. When I reboot, it shows the kexts there and everything so it IS loading my HD, but screen resolution still has only one option, no network cards found, and audio doesn't work.

So, can anyone out there please help me??

Thanks in advance!!

i've just re-installed my snow leopard partition. Here's my dilemma:

1. Blue Tooth is not working correctly
2. Battery is not showing up properly.
I'm getting the "service battery" message and the battery is fine (~4.5 hours in windows 7).
3. Power management might not be working correctly. The battery indicated that i have says the battery will only last for about 2 hours.

I'm really sick of troubleshooting this minor problem.

I have a 1000H with 2 gigs of ram. Would someone with the same, but working setup be willing to zip up their extra folder and post it for me?

Thanks to anyone that can help me out. This has been driving me nuts for at least 2 days.

a) Is it possible? How?
b) Is it possible through USB?
c) Can I dual boot/triple boot with Windows & Linux?

Hope someone can reply me as soon as possible. Thanks!

today I had the time (and a new SSD) to do the first new OS X installation on my 1000h since iDeneb's times. It worked quite well, here is how I did it.
- installed 10.6.0 following Niks instruction on technow.cc with following modifications:
a) after install was finished, booted from the USB-stick again, opened Terminal and manually copied the /Extra folder onto the internal disc.
b) also manually installed the most recent Chameleon, which I had previously copied onto the USB-stick earlier
c) copied the dstd.aml from Dadaz that matched my 1000h with 1GB (also available from technow.cc) into the /Extra
d) renamed the com.apple.Boot.plist in /Extra as it would not boot with it (will edit it in the future)
- booted from the internal disc
- did a software update (nearly 1gb download!) went through fine but resulted in a unbootable system
- got a patched 10.6.3 kernel and the recent sleepenabler.kext, put both on the USB-stick
- booted from the USB-stick again, opened Terminal and manually copied kernel and sleepenabler to / and /Extra/Extensions of internal disc
- ran Niks "eee-mkext-create.sh" in the /Extra of internal disc
- rebooted. 10.6.3 started fine

Now I did run a xbench just to see if everything worked ok. Strangely, CPU test score is only 29.84, about 10 less than when I ran Leopard, Quartz graphics test score is 53.65.

Comments, suggestions welcome.

My Idea was to run Snow Leopard on an EeePC 1101HA most of all to run IWEB.

Now i am facing some problems that have to do with the Used Grafkcard (Intel GMA 500) Quartz and Iweb.
Iweb only displays WhitePages which - after a lot of googling - has to do with bthe fact that i cannot enable Quartz/CI. Which has to do with the fact that there is not a real GMA500 driver…
I found one Link on InsanelyMac that pointed to a GMA500Enabler, but that was somehow dead.
So waht do the experts say: Will there be a GMA500 kext/enabler soon ?
Is there any kind of workaround to enable Quartz anyway or to run iWeb ??

I would very much appreciate any comment.

So, what are other folks seeing? In particular, I'm interested in total run time, Eee model, OS X version, and hard drive or SSD (to see if that makes a difference). Obviously, anything else that's relevant is welcome.

3 hours - Eee 901, Mac OS X 10.6.3, 64GB RunCore SSD. Using VoodooPower (Leopard) and VoodooBattery, with brightness set to 100%.

I've tried this with both EvoRestart and VoodooPower. I've tried it with both the binpatched kernel and Chameleon 2.0rc4, and with the vanilla kernel and the NetBookInstaller Chameleon. I don't use any kernel extensions for clamshell sleep, but rather a DSDT patch. Everything worked fine on 10.6.2.

Any ideas?

i just installed chameleon rc4, everything works fine but deepsleep.
got that "not enough space to restore image" error when waking up from deepsleep..
there is a "fix" or "guide" for the wind:

http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/...32.html#msg2332

but i have to say, that this is to high-level for me. i understand what he means and what the fix is doing but i am not able to fix it by myself. would be great if someone could help me applying this fix so my netbook (eee 1000h) can doing deepsleep again.

please help me

I have a question regarding iDeneb ISO image. Does anybody have an image that is up to 4GB in size. I need it to be able to copy in onto my FAT32 USB drive to boot the installation. Alternatively, maybe someone would advise me what folders I can delete from ISO without worrying?

I've tried the iDeneb 1.6 lite edition, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any help appreciated!

PS. My HW is Asus EEE PC 1000H

I would like to know if anyone has something to share about this update? I use Safari with Saft. Do I have to buy a higher Saft version? // Regards, NF

There are sometimes issues with sound when you are on battery. This is a known issue and has been addressed earlier here. The solution is about optimizing the VoodooPower kext, (thx to Thireus and others). Change your VoodooPower kext or download Thireus version (at his page) and replace. This fixes the lagging sound and hanging or KP. (You can try it out by run on battery and drag things in and out from your trash bin. If it lags or freezes, then you are affected.) Change the kext and your back…

If your Smbios.plist file defines that your machine is a MacBookAir and not a Macbook, as mine was first, you might have a distorted sound. When I changed that setting to MacBookAir my music was distorted when I played iTunes or what ever. The fix I've found is to remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement kext according to the forum at VoodooLabs here and here.. I removed the kext and haven't had any issues ever since with distorted sound running as a MacBookAir.

EDIT: If you are under, lets say, 10.5.6 and want to upgrade to 10.5.8 the AppleIntelCPUPower… kext is necessary for your upgrade, otherwise KP during installation. So re-install it with KextHelper, upgrade and later remove the new AppleIntel…. kext if you think it's needed.

Hope this can be of any help and if anyone knows more pls comment.

I know nothing on DSDT programing but I wasn't in total darkness. I used a good guide provided by dadaz DSDT How to here and I followed it line by line. I also checked the guide with the known work from pentiumpc (here) and the working 2102 and 2003 dsdt files and tried to figure it out. It's like putting a puzzle together and not understand the big picture.

I used the 2102 dsdt file as a reference with working fixes (sleep, brightness at wake-up, clamshell etc). I also wanted to start form scratch and took the dsdt file from my Linux partition (Ubuntu 9.10).

I implemented the fixes and it worked out! TextWrangler was my best friend when I analyzed changes and implemented new ones. Can recommend TW, easy to work with. When you know the procedure it takes about 15 min. For compiling there is a newer version of Iaslme (March 2010) to be found here.

Using dadaz guide I did the following, but changed some and added some:

– Alias in the scope _PR (I removed them)
– OperationRegion (BIOS, SystemMemory) different settings for 2Gb 7F7AE064 and 3F7AE064 for 1Gb. (did that)
– Things in HPET section (I copied from the working 2102)
– All the _T_0 (changed it to the T0_0)
– Add the CAMR, BTHR, SDSR,CRDR (it's for hotkeys) (yeap, did that)
– Add PBPR (yeap)
– SLPS (did also that, found 2 changes)
- Modify (as in first mod) P001 and P002 to CPU1 and CPU2 (No, here I made a different change. I changed from CPU1/2 to P001/2 not the other way around. Don't know if it is correct but I found this to be consequent in other dsdt. Pls inform if anyone knows better.)
- Add all stuff in LID section, it's for enable sleep when we close the LID (Yeap did that)

- Here I also added a change from HDAC to HDEF, 2 times, which makes the audio chip be seen in Sys prof (thx alex_I)

– Add _DSM section (added also that)
– Modify _CID to _HID (No, a changed from _HID to _CID as pentiumpc suggest and I think that is correct)
– Modify all the MUTE sections (Yeap, quite many to change)
– Add DTGP section (yeap)
add the two lines in the WAK section (added one line as from the 2102 dsdt and not the ATKN (0x65) line. It works but I cannot tell you if it should be there or not.)

Extra changes
- I also added also the LAN section as can be read in the added info, cannot confirm if it works.
- I also got remarks during compilation on _T_1 as reserved and I changed it like T0_0 to T_1 and got no more remarks, I dont know if this is correct. Still get some warnings but the dsdt file works.

Ok, feel free to try but back up your working dsdt file first and have convenient back door, like a working linux or other mac partition so you can easily change your dsdt or revert. Haven't tried the 1Gb and the hotkey function. I've only tried the 2Gb version.
I'll provide dsdt for both 1Gb and 2Gb and the dsdt.dsl file so you can easily add on changes and re-compile it.

2204 DSDT files can be found here. Removed, see next post

Enjoy!

for example i had the package provided with the technow.cc tutorial for my 1000h, for 10.6.2 i needed a new sleepenabler.kext and with netkas' new famesmc.kext my cpu temp is now provided in my istat. what if we could provide informations about updates and so on? it was very… difficult for me to find the updates and a changelog especially for our models arent existing..

and with this questions i want to know which (extra)kexts you have currently running for the 1000h?

today my 1000h running 10.5.8 with the latest software updates experienced its first ever kernel panic during normal use (ie. not having modifyed kexts etc. before). I've been using my EeeMac since the 1000h came out. I have not veryfied the issue on my real Mac, as I am away.

A Java Web Start Application caused it. Can anybody verify? I am especially curious if the Snow Leopard fraction, which I think use java 1.6, experience the same.

Goto <http://jabref.sourceforge.net/> (This is save!)
Click on "WebStart run JabRef instantly"
Allow access to your disc (or something like it)

Please make sure you saved your data before trying, and don't blame me for any damage to your system or mood.

Thanks

Managed to install SL.10.6.2 (with a Hacked Kernel) on my 1000h ( dug it out of my cupboard. )
Been testing it for the past few days, and it is working great.
Just wondering if anyone is still on the 1000H or is there a better Asus Netbook to Hack on?

ACPI4ASUS.kext is not working on the 10.6, reading from the threads here, some of you managed to get it to work but it seem pretty buggy.

Instead of trying to hack it to work, I re-wrote a new Kext.

I will do a proper one if there is enough interest in it, if not I will just customize it to my own liking and call it a day.

Current state of the development (thanks to the holidays)
1. Change name to AsusHotKeys, so as not to be confused with Linux ACPI4ASUS Project (credit. I use ACPI4ASUS as a ref to learn)
2. I got a working version of the new AsusHotKeys.Kext, working with a modded DSDT.aml. (my last BIOS update was BIOS version 2102), only got all the hot-keys and Fn-keys work, cannot run external script yet.
3. Due to some depreciated code in SL, I have split the program into a Kext and a Daemon. (Kernel space and Userspace.), now the Kext Just send code and preform BIOS/ACPI function, Running script and and display etc, will be taken care by the Daemon..
4. Switch from shell script to apple script (deciding if there is a need to run both). Looking at what some guys here have developed with Apple script is amazing..
5. Current I have a working program to read hotkey's code and run scripts.
6. Moved setting from Kext plist to Preference plist.

Todo or will be doing.
1. a Prefpane for preference setting (anyone up to it?) I started 1 but have yet to link it.
2. convert bash scripts to AScript. (credit .. elParkeur, those are some amazing applescript, never tot you could do all that with AScripting.)
3. Aesthetics ..

Weekend is here so I will have sometime to work on it, but will have to be on a shoot on sunday, so this week's progress will be slow.
I will try to get a working release out sometime next week, it will be sort of a temp work around.

Please pm or reply here is anyone is interested.

Credits. All codes are contributed or inspired by many guys here and in other forum, thanks..
I am not a software engineer, I am a hack and I do this as a hobby only, so please keep you expectation low. haha..

Best… and Happy CNY..

I have a 1000H with 2GB of ram running the latest BIOS (2204). I installed iDeneb 10.5.5 and it installed perfectly…I guess. It just sticks on the boot screen. The obvious answer is to install the hacked bios, which I've attempted to do via a number of methods with no luck.

I tried the ALT + F2 method, and I get "Too old or incompatible". I tried a variety of dos based installers, and they give me a "Bad Boot Block" error, despite trying a few different ROMS, (Alex's from the tutorial and osroms). I tried installing XP SP3 and using the Asus Update utility, and I get the "Too old or incompatible" error too.

I'm out of ideas. Is there any way I can install OS X again, then install something like GRUB and use that to boot OS X for long enough to install the correct DSDT?

I found a DSDT patcher application too, but I don't know enough about it to know if I can use it to install my patched DHDT file. Will that work?

The last week, I decided to fully localize it into Bulgarian language, and I did it using latest iLocalize and some hacks, because it is not fully localizable and AHIG-compliant software.

I am writing this, because I would love to help people here that would also like to make the utility in their language. Please, let me know in a PM. //Regards, NF

Thanks

Caber:)

how can I activate Hyper Threading on my 901? It won't boot after installing iDeneb 1.6 with vanilla kernel.

Any solution on this?

Greets

I recently installed Leopard on the 8gig slow ssd drive of my 901. Booting takes more than 5 minutes and is a pain in the a55.

I just want to know which ssd other 901 users are using and how long it takes to fire up the machine.
The netbooks shown on youtube need ~1 minute to show the mac os x gui.

Anyone got some information for me?

I have a few issues only visible if you burst a bit your OS.

For example:

• If you make quick circles with your USB mouse when your OS is booting you can see some mouse lags resulting to a teleportation of your mouse somewhere outside the circle (Leopard doesn't act like that with the mouse). The same issue can be saw if you load a big app for the first time, such as google earth, photoshop etc.
• Opening many windows and then using the F9 key makes SL goes very slow and use a lot of CPU (Leopard react very well to this kind of burst).
• If you quickly press the F9 then F10 keys many times, you can see some artifacts due to some part of remaining peace of windows you are manipulating. (Still no prob with Leopard…)
• Selecting too many icons with the mouse is very very SLOOOOOW…

Etc.

Many things like that are very annoying for people like me who want to go fast and well when using such an OS. Obviously people who takes their time for clicking on a button will never see any of these points…

I'm still waiting to see some videos to prove me it's possible to get a better Leo with Snow.

Thi.

Info:
Hrs hdd is used: 10
loadcyclecount: 7338

thats really bad! i tried clunkiller old and new , both didnt work. hdapm says that my hdd is not supported for apm, but i has apm settings (on linux i use hdparm -B 254 without any problem)

thats so bad i think im in love with snow leopard but if this cant be fixed i have to move to linux again …

i followed the guide provided on www.technow.cc and all i have to say is: GREAT!!! it works like a charm, no, no, NO Problems arrived here. i downloaded the bios and dsdt pack provided at the download area (using 210x with 1GB dsdt from dadaz, the ROM and DSDT are in the package.)

and i was using an external hdd instead of an usb-key because mine has just about 4gigs.

for the 1000h users, the drivers for your stock wireless card are the same as in 10.5! working for me very well, and for the resolution im using switchresx just like on leopard.

look at

http://rapidshare.com/files/315227298/SLDRV1000H.rar

in this package is all stuff provided for your 1000h (WLAN, SwitchResX), which you have to install after succesfull installation, maybe this is helpfull

thank you all for this perfect tutorial!

i already tried out all versions of itunes (from v. 8 - v.9.0.2) i tried out different versions of osx (10.5.6. - 10.5.8) still the same error, and of course i tried different versions of vooodooHDA.kext.

BUT what is thinking me positive IS, that a had this problem before 6 months , and i FIXED this! but … as i am a human species … -_- i forgot the conclusion… really i could bite me…

my system now is:

eeepc 1000h on ideneb 1.5 10.5.7 with install configuration EEEPC (ideneb install dialog + dsdt.aml which works very well). current bios 1902 mod by alex

i already tried out different versions of ideneb but didnt get these to work properly.

maybe, someone could give me any help:

OR: if there is a tutorial of installing SL on 1000H maybe with all files i need and so on, you could help me with giving me that tut… because in the net i can find a lot of tries, but i dont know which is gonna working well, and you guys are the experienced ones i think!

please give me a try and help me a bit!

I´ve just bought me and eee PC 1000H Black XP Edition and I was already looking forward to install OS X ! It´s a fever !

Well .. I´ve downloaded (from some website I can remember right now) a modded BIOS (according to the website)…
My eeePC came with the BIOS Revision 1206 and I´ve changed it to 1103 in order to fix the looooog boot ! Did I make the right thing… right ? I´ve changed the partitions with Acronis Disk Director, booting Hirens BootCD from a thumb drive. Put iDeneb V 1.4 OSX 10.5.6 on an external USB to IDE adapter connected to an DVD unit, pressed F8 and tried with the following options : cpus=1 -v, -x -v, -x -s -v and … no success !!! :-(

Problem : disk1s2 I/O error AppleUSBEHCI found a transaction completion deadline (If I remember it correctly righ now)

Status : I´ve never got the OSX installation screen ! :-(

Anyone could, please, give me opinions, options, solutions … any of these kind of approaches is valid ! :-(

Please, again, help me to make and old dream come true ! Have a Macbook Nano ! :-)

I apologize for the looooog post ! It´s the reflex of my deep frustration talking aloud ! :-(

Any kind of help would be very, very,very appreciated !

Macintoxic … over !

Does anybody have a "start from scratch" guide on how to install Snow Leopard with the Retail Disc? I have next to no clue what I'm doing.

You can find the new bios on asus site. The only news is Win 7 compatibility. It works with Snow here.

It doesn't include the hack for Win 7 activation, as you just have to find the good crack if you need it.
