How To: Mac OS X 10.5.4 for the Eee PC 901 & 1000H By MacEEE.com Welcome to our how-to guide for the ASUS Eee PC 901 and 1000 series notebooks. Please be sure to read our legal disclaimer before proceeding. As we have previously noted, we strongly suggest the purchase of the ASUS Eee PC 1000H due to its faster hard drive. However, this guide will work on any Eee PC 901 or 1000 series nettop computer. Note: Sound and Ethernet DOES NOT WORK. Getting Started. 1) iDeneb 10.5.4. Get distro form torrent site. 2) A USB 2.0 DVD-ROM drive. BIOS Update Due to ACPI (Power Management settings) in BIOS, booting can take long time. So use the custom BIOS. This BIOS has to be flashed from Windows XP. However, it will void the warranty. But you can restore the original BIOS before sending it for repairs. Get custom BIOS from: http://osrom.net/biosmod/ Steps to Install Caution, keep in mind that this will erase all information on your Eee PC. Also, please check with ASUS to make sure you are running the latest version of your Eee PC BIOS before installing. 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 Advanced > CPU Configuration. Disable all three items in this sub-menu. Press Esc and scroll to the Boot tab. Re-arrange boot priority to have the desired drive boot listed first. Finally, Exit and Save Changes. Also, go to Onboard Devices in the BIOS and disable all four items. These settings will be later changed after the OS X installation. 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) Select the drive you want to install on. Go to the Partition tab that appears. Chose the partitioning as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). 6) Click the Options… button. Select the GUID Partition Table and click OK. Then click Apply to format the drive. Finally, click the red close button to exit Disk Utility. 7) 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. 8) 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. 9) Click Continue and then proceed with the installation. 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 extra drives from following URL: http://www.maceee.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/maceeedotcompatches.zip 2) Extract the contents on your desktop. 3) Restart the computer and access your BIOS settings. Turn SpeedStep back on in CPU Configuration. Go to Onboard Devices and enable all four items. Do this only AFTER COPLETEING SETUP ASSISTANT. 4) Run the AboutThisMac tool inside the folder that you just extracted. This will correct the processor identification in the About This Mac window. 5) Now, we need to install some drivers. Copy or move the Kext Installer utility to the Applications folder. Launch it.

6) Drag all the files from the Drivers folder onto the Kext Installer window. Enter your password, and allow it to begin. Note: Please set a user account password as this utility will not run on an account that does not have a user password set. 7) When the Kext Installer completes, it will ask you to reboot. Restart the computer, and then 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) Time for the main netbook driver- WiFi. Get the driver from the following URL: http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/Ralink_CardBusPCI_D2860-1.0.1.0_D61-1.0. 4.0_D2560-1.0.9.0%20UI-1.5.1.0_2008_03_13.dmg 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. Now you will be having a perfectly running netbook.
