First I'd like to thank all the posters here, I have been lurking here for many months getting info on installing OSX onto my 900HA.
I'd like to contribute something back in return after several months of running OSX on my netbook.
Here are some tips for people who had OSX installed and running:
1. Use proper kext
After reading a post on benchmark speed of eeepc running OSX I discovered my system is running at a much lower speed than some users. (and I thought it was fast) I hunted down the latest kexts and installed them and you know what? It bumped the speed up significantly. I think the CPU is affected by the power saving kexts, so you need to use the latest ones. Use the latest Intel GMA kexts too! The speed improvement can be felt in real applications, not just with benchmark.
2. Power Management bundle
I have read a lot of users not getting hibernation or sleep, it's got a lot to do with the power management bundle, If your PMbundle is not working, your hard disk will spindown every few seconds which causes the clunky noise, it also affects the CPU performance and battery usage.
Check under Power in System Profiler, see if it displays any info about your battery, if it doesn't, then it's not working.
After updating OSX, new powerbundle kext will overwrite your old ones, make sure you patch it!
For eeepc, you can extract the 'resource' folder from Nik's power management bundle and put it inside the new one. Make sure you install it with proper permission, don't just drop it into the S/L/SystemConfiguration folder.
You can open the resource folder and change the power saving setting if you want.
Once it's properly installed, check the system profiler to see if the battery info is active. Try hibernation, it should be working. If not, google "deep sleep widget" and download the free widget for dashboard - it is the easiest way to configure the sleep behaviour for OSX.
3. Hear
If anyone wants to improve their audio on their eeeMac, try this software. Once it's properly configured, you will have a hi-fi 3d audio on all your music, games and movies! Google, "hear for mac". You can download it free if you are smart enough to find it. ;)
4. Disk utility fix permission errors
This one should be a surprise for some of you. After installing new kexts, you should use Disk Utility to fix permission errors on your OSX drive. You will be very surprise just how many errors DU can pick up. Fixing it will resolved slow bootup and other problems.
I hope these tips can be of some help to you guys.
