Is there anyone who want to test it?

UPDATE: here it is reported it works correctly --> http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... pic=197020

UPDATE 2: It worked perfectly! New kernel is on my Leovo s10e! ^__^

If you used Vanii's Enabler to install osx, here is the guide to install 10.6.2 on s10/s10e (kernel included):

1) download combo update: http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL95 ... 10.6.2.dmg
2) install it and DON'T RESTART!!!
3) go to root system/library/extensions and delete _SleepEnabler.kext (VERY IMPORTANT!!! you get kernel panic if you don't do it!)
4) download patched kernel from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o2w0yunezzy
5) Download zip to Desktop
6) Unzip by double click
7) Open Terminal.app
8) sudo -s
9) Enter your root password
10) cd /
11) mv mach_kernel mach_kernel_1062
12) cp ~/Desktop/mach_kernel /
13) chown 0:0 mach_kernel
14) reboot

15) After first reboot, download new SleepEnabler from here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index. ... pic=196466
16) rename it _SleepEnabler.kext and install it with Kext helper b7
17) reboot and you will have a FULLY working 10.6.2 Snow Leopard system

I'm happy to report that this first Frankenkernel for Atoms works with NetbookInstaller too.

Now back to work on my legit MBP...

[MonkeyJamboree]

out of curiosity, why are people using a patched 10.2.0 kernel, when the 10.6.0/10.6.1 kernel works fine? isn't 10.2.0 extremely out-of-date? or is it just numbered incorrectly?

*EDIT* Sorry, I was misinformed about kernel version numbers and such. My mistake! I did not know that the kernel versions included were different from the OS X version numbers

I guess i should have used OTX to see this btw, what is 0x005dee80? It shows up as a byte in IDA + otx. Is that the CPUID? in the jump table?

Just curious.

Thanks

Yet again the brilliant Meklort from the mydellmini forums has provided a new NBI with that patches the kernel of 10.6.2 with the above mentioned patch and kext mod: http://www.mydellmini.com/forum/general-mac-os-x-discussion/15050-osx-10-6-2-a-13.html#post118527

Howdy,

If you used Vanii's Enabler to install osx, here is the guide to install 10.6.2 on s10/s10e (kernel included):

Works as well for NetbookMaker Installations with one exeption:

14) reboot

skip this one and install SleepEnabler as mentioned in step 15 to 17. As I did not, I had to take my HDD out, put it in an external housing an installed the .kext on my Mac mini. 10.6.2 runs well now.

best regards Stefan

Emm, thats *way* to complicated or I must be missing something. You can easily place the new kext in /Extra/S10Ext and run the UpdateExtra app.

You only need to edit the machine.plist so the app recognises the Lenovo correctly. As I wrote in another thread;

Note: make sure that the Lenovo model <key>Lenovo</key> specified in /Extra/UpdateExtra.app/Contents/Resources/SupportFiles/machine.plist corresponds with the output given by the terminal command sysctl hw.model before using the UpdateExtra.app!

Anyway... as qubit posted, there's a new NetbookInstaller available at http://www.meklort.com.

Be careful I did this without reading too well and did the update in the software updater and totally screwed my machine. The Vanii instructions. Re-installing the whole thing over again as we speak. Annoying... The machine was running perfectly before the update. I'll try one more time but if it doesn't work this time i'll stay with 10.6.1 until they come up with a fool proof way to do this.
