Install OS X on Lenovo S10
Please post in the Mac OS section of s10lenovo.com if you have questions/issues

(Note: Kexts should be installed using the kexthelper application)

(Note2: Some people have reported a failure for some kexts to install properly, and the fix is to manually clear the caches. Also be sure to reboot between kext installs. I very strongly recommend using the manual clearing method at the bottom of this file, and rebooting each time you install a kext or group of them.)

(Note3: If you have an internal Bluetooth module, it will prevent the machine from sleeping if it is on. To disable, before booting to an OS, press the wireless selection button until the wireless light is blue. It may take many button presses.)


Install from Wind DVD with no changes in options/settings (MSIWindosx86.iso)

Fix MBR if needed (this is usually NOT needed):
fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0
(also maybe: fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0)

To bypass setup/migration loop, boot into single user mode (boot option, -s).
/sbin/fsck –fy
/sbin/mount –uw /
cd /Volumes/<YourHDname>/var/db/
touch .AppleSetupDone

Set root password:
passwd

Reboot and log in as root, create personal account.
Install the wi-fi enabler, reboot, log in as user, apply updates to 10.5.6.

Wi-fi enabler:
"bcm43xx_enabler 2.sh" (Earlier versions do not work with 10.5.6!)

After your apply the 10.5.6 update and reboot, you will lose KB and mouse. There are two solutions to this; either plug in external devices, or apply these kexts *before* rebooting after loading the update:
Both kexts from WindPS2Files.zip -- http://web.me.com/andrew.schultz/WindPS2Files.zip
Reboot

Install the three Intel GMA950 video kexts from 0x27ae.zip -- http://darwin950.googlecode.com/files/0x27ae.zip

Clear caches, reboot

AppleACPIPlatform.kext from "AppleACPIPlatform.kext for 10.5.6.zip"
The correct file is 772kb/700,661 bytes, 55 items dated 10/9/07
This fixes the fans and speedstep

Clear caches, reboot

VoodooPower.kext -- http://www.superhai.com/files/leopard/r ... r.kext.zip
Power GUI if desired -- http://www.superhai.com/files/leopard/r ... ontrol.zip

Clear caches, reboot

EHCISleepEnabler.kext -- http://superhai.com/files/leopard/relea ... r.kext.zip
ClamShellDisplay -- http://superhai.com/files/leopard/relea ... y.kext.zip

Clear caches, reboot

Now test whether your system goes into sleep when you close the lid and wakes when you open it. If it does NOT, then open the Info.plist file in:
/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEHCI.kext/Contents/
Look for:
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>3.1.5</string> (This number varies, mine is 3.2.5)
And add this below it, then save and reboot:
<key>OSBundleCompatibleVersion</key>
<string>1.0</string>


Delete the AppleHDA.kext from /extensions
Reboot
Install AzaliaAudio.pkg -- http://www.mediafire.com/?enez1guzz1g
Reboot
Install CHUD tools -- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mzjlkm4idyb
Reboot

Audieee_1.0.1.zip -- http://www.s10lenovo.com/download/file.php?id=65
Put the file in /Applications/Utilities and run it. Audio works now; use menubar icon to toggle (default is off). Add the Audieee application to your startup items.

To enable the trackpad prefpane:
10.5.6 Synaptics Trackpad Enabler.zip -- http://www.megaupload.com/ru/?d=7WAN7BMH



IF KEXTS DON'T SEEM TO WORK, TRY THIS
To manually clear extension caches, as root:
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
rm -r /System/Libraray/Caches/*
touch /System/Library/Extensions

Sweet! thanks alot I should have the iso in 20min can't wait to try this!

[burbs]

Thanks for this! I was also getting frustrated since the "latest and greatest" installation I could find was from at least 1 month ago. It just seemed strange that people didn't keep up with the OS X installation stuff, or contributing what new stuff they did. Thanks again!

[normalgewicht]

Thanks for the Installation hints.
You forgot to mention, that:
1. You need Kext Helper B7 to install the *.kext files
2. To activate Sleep Mode you will also need the File ACPIBattery.kext from superhai
Please add this two files into your download package and everyone will be happy

Thanks Carlos, great updated guide.
Could you tell us if your guide works with those of us who have installed internal S10 BT radios?
To be honest, I tried everything out there for weeks now, and I still can't get sleep working.

Picture 1.png

i just finish fresh install msiwind iso and install wifi
bcm43xx_enabler.sh
so according the instruction i should install os update

should i just jump to 10.5.6 update?
and install all 6 following updates?

so i don't need to go 10.5.5 first > 10.5.6?


thanks

Could you tell us if your guide works with those of us who have installed internal S10 BT radios?

I don't have an internal BT module, so I don't know the answer on that. Is it possible to buy/add that? I do wish I had it. I'm using a MacSense USB BT module, and it does work just fine, and you can sleep with it on and active.

To be honest, I tried everything out there for weeks now, and I still can't get sleep working.

It could be that your installation is just munged up now. Might be time to do a clean install (erase partition) and try again. Unless there are hardware variations in the S10, I would expect this to work just like it does on mine. I was very careful to document every step in the same order I did it; the order can be important, as it is with some other drivers.

1. Can you tell me, why I should clear the extension cache manually
2. The Trackpad Prefpane App does not work
3. Sleep Mode does not work

1. Normally not needed. If you load a kext and it seems to not work at all, try manually clearing and reboot.
2. Did the trackpad enabler install without errors.
3. Double-check the changes to the plist file just after loading the clamshell and ehci kexts.

so according the instruction i should install os update

should i just jump to 10.5.6 update?
and install all 6 following updates?

so i don't need to go 10.5.5 first > 10.5.6?

I took, all updates offered by the automatic software update. No need to go step by step.

I have actively used the machine for about 7 hours now, across a couple days. I prefer it over my MSI Wind, as I thought I would. Much better-quality hardware. Here's what I know is/is not working...

Working:
Wi-fi
SD card
PCI slot with a card reader, but not a Linksys EC1000 NIC -- Will try eSATA tomorrow
Sound output with internal speakers
Backlight control with keys
Volume control with keys
Battery meters/indicators
Sleep with clamshell or manual, wake with clamshell opening
Bluetooth with MacSense USB adapter, can sleep with adapter in place
OKR button gives Expose
Novatel (Verizon) USB720 EV-DO aircard
MacBook Air USB ethernet adapter
Camera
Trackpad with tap, no extra features like scrolling
Press power to bring up sleep/shutdown/reboot options
KB works properly with buttons in the right places (such as CMD)


Not working:
Ethernet
Microphone
System shuts off if battery dies, instead of sleeping

Need to test:
VGA
External sound in/out
