Comments on: OS X 10.5.7 Battery Boost For Hackintoshes? http://smallcomputing.net/2009/05/15/os-x-1057-battery-boost-for-hackintoshes/ Netbooks & Small Form Factor Computers Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:37:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marvin Prince http://smallcomputing.net/2009/05/15/os-x-1057-battery-boost-for-hackintoshes/comment-page-1/#comment-2432 Marvin Prince Sat, 30 May 2009 17:13:04 +0000 http://smallcomputing.net/?p=639#comment-2432 Hey there, I have been really enjoying this site, and thanks to the initial post about putting iDeneb on the N120, I got OSX 10.5.6 running on mine. Wireless wasn't working, and I couldn't get the ethernet working even with the Apple A1277 USB adapter, which worked on the tower Hackintosh I built a while back. However, I planned to buy the Broadcom card to remedy the connectivity problem. The biggest problem I was having was that I couldn't get sound from the headphone jack, only from the speakers. So if you know of a workaround for that, I would love to hear it. And also, the fan seemed to run constantly, which never happened with XP installed. Again, perhaps fixable with a kext. Today I updated to 10.5.7 using the one-click package that can be found here: http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/05/update-hackintosh-osx86-from-1056-to-1057/ To my surprise, it worked fine, but the desktop came up at a lower resolution. I tried reinstalling the three video kexts linked in the initial post, and that fried the video. So I'm starting over. Anyway, just thought I would mention the results of my experiments for the benefit of anyone else following these threads, and to open it up to helpful comments. The one-click package comes with some additional kexts which I perhaps should have experimented with before trying the older ones :) One other thing worth noting is that the iDeneb 10.5.6 distro comes with a kext package for the NC10. Do NOT check this when installing on a N120, rather, follow the instructions in the earlier post on this site (http://smallcomputing.net/2009/05/06/guide-install-os-x-on-samsung-n120-netbook/). However, I'm crossing my fingers that if iDeneb releases a 10.5.7 distro, it will include a similar package for the N120, which is a groovy little machine.
