900HA - iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 Installation

900HA - iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 Installation

sirmaple 10 Jan 2009 19:36

I have been trying to install OSx on my EEE. iDeneb 1.3 installation boots and installs.
However I have tried several combinations of customize options and all of them lead to a panic as soon as the installation is finished and the system attempts to boot.

Has anyone with a 900HA, unmodded, done this successfully that can tell me exactly which options they chose in the customize? Regardless it would be nice to have a 900HA iDeneb v1.3 install thread. I've spent a lot of time reading between here and elsewhere and there is nothing that I have found, (for the 900ha specifically) that concisely says how to do it and why.

Thanks

Hello,

I'm also looking for something similar. I'm attempting to install iDeneb v1.3 right now and I'm running into some issues.

My 900HA boots from my external dvd-rom with the iDeneb dvd in it. I followed this tutorial: //ipis-osx.wikidot.com/installing_ideneb_1_3_1000h

It completes the install but when it reboots it gets to a grey screen with the apple logo and sticks there and wont go any further.

Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated. (sold my macbook to build a desktop, now im missing my macbook lol)

Well i did some more searching and found these two pages.

and

:/ Looks like a little more work then I had expected when I purchased my 900HA.

canoo:

You are getting a Kernel Panic. If you boot with -v you will probably see the same thing I did, basically an error stating that AppleIntelCPUManagement.kext (I think) is the problem.

When you get that Kernel Panic you are referring to, I have found that it can be solved by:

1. Start up iDeneb installation DVD
2. Load Terminal
3. In terminal "cd /Volumes/(YOURVOLUMENAME)/System/Library/Extensions"
4. "rm -r AppleIntelCPU (press TAB after that to autocomplete) "
5. "reboot"

I have successfully installed OSx on to my 900ha with iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5 twice now. Both times I have hosed my installation through mistakes, and of course I haven't bothered to write down the combination of kexts I used on the install.

As soon as I figure out what kexts I use that actually will boot OSx post-install, I will post them here.

Both times I have had success I needed to delete that AppleIntelCPUManagement.kext (I think thats the full name).
Hope this helps a bit …. will post further progress.

ps. Never got as far as to get the stock wifi card going. Did however mange to get most of the other functions working fine before hosing the OS.

Thanks so much! I'm going to try that out when i get home from work tonight. I'll post back with results.

I have a bit of free time to pour into this so I'm just going to continue hacking away at it over the next month or so.

That list of kexts would be nice to have.

It'd be nice to have a step by step guide put together for the 900HA.
