IDeneb 1.3| 3.58 GB Mac OSx86 Leopard 10.5.5 for Intel/AMD SSE2/SSE3 iDeneb is a Mac OSX Leopard release modified by Layne and iHackintosh Team, to run on non-Apple computers. This universal release can run on both Intel and AMD based machines.
Guys, I just updated the. A guy on my forum found out that installing the Time Machine fix (installing the IONetworkFamily kext from the Post Install Package did break Ralink (and possibly other) wireless drivers. So don't use the V0.1 or V0.2 version of the Package anymore!!!
I'll try to get them deleted by snikersmd. In addition to that, the Post Install Package did not correctly unzip on Macs (it only worked on PC;-). I reposted a where I placed the IONetworkFamily kext in a self explanatory directory. If everyone agrees, I'd like to make this package the starting point for every installation, so any comments/remarks/rants are welcome. Updated the (again) and the PostInstallationPackage (Version 0.6) split in a BASE part and an OPTIONAL part (check at the end of the tutorial).
BASE This corrects the correct display of remaining battery time after wakeup from sleep in some cases. Existing users only replace the PowerMAnagement.bundle file, repair permissions and reboot. OPTIONAL includes basically all the known fixes that I tested successfully on my 1000h.
External USB to Ethernet Fix. CoolBook Fix. Brightness Control Fix. Sound Fix. Time Machine Fix Nik. I can confirm that the new ideneb 10.5.5. V1.3 works fine on the 1000h.
Started working on it about 2.5 hours ago and I am up and running right now, using the machine to type this post. The one thing that did not work was the about this mac install, it shows I am running an intel core solo, which I could care less if this is cosmetic in nature. The only thing I noticed is it is a tad sticky when I scroll in web pages and the dock comes up from hiding.
I used the maceee guide to guide me. There was no appleps2 option and no vanilla as kernel. I went with the only 9.4.0 available in the list, cant remember the title, with an sx i think. Everything else went fine, wifi works, webcam, usb, battery indicator, bluetooth. So far it seems stable. Any questions, toss them at me, since I am pretty new to this, not sure if there is anything that could help you guys. Hopefully sound is on the horizon, since basically this system is good to go if you guys can get that going.
I can also confirm that it's working now because I got fed up with trying every different method available to install ANY build of OS X on my eeePC 1000HD that I sold it and bought an eeePC 1000H and had iDeneb v1.3 OS X 10.5.5 running in all its glory about 40 minutes after pulling the machine out of its bubble wrap. The lesson here folks is, unless you're a lot smarter than me (which is probably most of you) then don't even bother trying to install OS X on a 1000HD just get the 1000H! Thanks to everyone who has contributed information to this little community and thanks to my mate who has played his part in the 'one laptop per child' program by buying my 1000HD for his daughter!:D.
Is it going to cause any problems that I chose a different kernel in the list? Everything seems to be running fine right now. I had a glitch that sent me into a kernel panic last night, but I think that was because I went to a website that had flash and did not have it installed before doing so. After installing that, flash sites are fine now, including youtube. What is the big dif between the H and HD? I just saw the 7 hour battery life, 160gb hard drive and atom cpu and figured, that must be the best configuration compared to the dells, msi's, hp's in terms of price and specs. Well, as far as OS X is concerned there are two major differences between the HD and the H - the CPU is the obvious one, as it's 'pre-core'.
But I honestly think that it's the availability of a hacked BIOS that is the real stumbling block. While there's a lot of talk about the bios enabling both cores to work, that doesn't explain why there are problems with installing OS X on the 1000HD. My theory (and it is just a theory) is that the limitations in the bios are quite literal, in that there are flags that cause non-sanctioned Operating Systems to slow to a crawl (or fail altogether). My basis for this theory is that there are parts of the 1000H bios that refer to various Windows builds and in the hacked version of the bios there's an entry in that particular part of the code that's been changed (as well as the core aliases). I dont know, the 1000HD seems to work fine in single-user mode under 10.5. I thought what was wrong was the lack of proper support for the 915 chipset in the department of graphics. When i got to the installer screen i got a spinning pinwheel of death anyhow i think you might be able to load 10.4 on a 1000hd successfully, but i havent tried it.
I just want to sell the dang thing. Its a 900MHz celeron which is a lot slower than the 1.6GHz atom. I think what this is is a eee 900 in a 1000 chassis (better screen, and hard disk, sure, but still kind of outdated). Thanks for the heads-up.
I will give it a try. Is there a bios flashing program somewhere already on the 1000hd? Or do i have to make some kind of CD or USB stick to flash the bios? Edit: ah - i found out about the alt-f2 trick. I just flashed it.
Is there a real dependency on iDeneb v1.3? I only have iDeneb v1.1. It wouldnt boot that but i made a boot-132 usb stick with a couple of kexts on there and i managed to get iDeneb v1.1 to the installer screen and thats when i got the spinning pinwheel of death. Edit2: same problem.
![Ideneb install Ideneb install](/uploads/1/2/4/2/124222258/487446495.png)
The problem with iDeneb v1.1 is the IOPlatformFamily.kext, so that's what on the boot-132 initrd. I get to the 'use english as the main language' screen and after hitting the arrow at the bottom of the dialog box, i get a slow pinwheel of death and the machine is just locked up. Well, i did install kabyl's bios. I think it worked right, maybe it didnt. Is there some way of dumping out the DSDTs (or whatever they are) to see that they've been modified? The 1000hd is really pissing me off. I really hate the xandros thing that comes preinstalled, so i decided to try ubuntu.
Ubuntu hardy didnt recognize the LAN or the WLAN, and then i found ubuntu eee, which seemed to work okay at first. But now i find that the machine sometimes loses the WLAN completely after a sleep/wake, and it cant connect to a WPA2 access point with a hidden SSID. And there's no trackpad driver so i cant turn off the tap-click. Someone on one of the eee forums came up with a driver for the trackpad but there's no point if i cant sort out the sleep and wlan problems. And then i noticed that i scratched the lid, which isnt going to help my resale value any. Knemonic, Can you let me know how you got around the MAC welcome screen on initial boot that requires you to register?
Mine hangs as I select continue and then just loops back to the beginning of the welcome screen and I can't 'command'+'Q' out of it because the 1000ha I'm using doesn't have a command key. I also tried disabling all nics in the bios but it still loops.
I also have the modified bios for faster boot. Does anyone know how I can get my new 10.5.5 install to fully boot? What am I missing? Pressing F8 once I get to the (supposedly) frozen white screen doesn't result any thing happening on screen. That is, no single user mode option or place to type those commands.
If I press F8 right after turning on the 1000H, I get to a prompt (boot: ) and if I type -s there, I get to a screen that ends with the statement 'MAC Framework successfully initialized using 5242 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers' than a white cursor and the computer seems to freeze (I can't type anything at this point.). @samevo8 Strange, normally -s should boot if the system is not a complete mess.
On the other hand I got your problem all wrong (should have read your post more precisely;-). The 'solution' that I proposed is for people who are stuck in the reboot loop at registration (once the system has booted for the first time). Your problem is more complicated.
1) Did you wait like forever for the eee to boot? This can take up to 15 min or more without the modded BIOS 2) Flash the modded BIOS -you can do it after installing OSX Flash it from XP or if you have thrown out XP do the following (posted by fairnymph on September 27th). To flash the BIOS, rename the ROM file to whatever the name of your comp model is, in my case 901.ROM (or 1000.ROM). Put it alone on a USB drive and insert it into your computer.
Reboot, hit F2. Under the Boot tab of BIOS settings, change priority boot device to USB drive. Go to exit, select exit + save changes. This will cause the comp to reboot again, so as soon as you see it start up, HOLD DOWN alt + F2. This will go into EZ-FLASH and update your BIOS.
Reboot, hit F2, double check that BIOS is working. 3) If this still does not help try to reboot with the -v option 4) Try a reinstall, following my Good luck, Nik. Hello guys, I'm having trouble to get iDeneb 1.3 to go correctly once installed. I'm stucked with 800x600 resolution, i've tried several kexts, but best results I've got was a blank blue screen (even with -x starting option) At installation time, in Customize DVD menu, I've selected no audio, no network, no kernel in order to have default 9.5, no SMBIOS in order to have default one ICHFix, GMA 950, shutdown fix ACPI for Laptop.
Is there something I've done wrong? What is the solution to have a correct resolution (like i've managed to have with iATKOS & iDeneb 1.1)? Thanxs in advance for your help. I am using the 10.5.5 AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext by Slinger2g as fixed by PeteRock from this post: I have 1024X600 on ideneb 1.3 I also use the Air SMBIOSEFI from though I did have to add memoryType=19 memorySpeed=533 to my boot.plist to get memory type & speed correct. Lastly, I grabbed ACPIBattery.kext & ClamshellDisplay.kext from I tried his genericCPUPowerManagement & SMBIOSResolver but didn't have too much success there. The genericCPUPowerManagement just crashed the machine. I went with the Air version of SMBIOSEFI above so that the machine would be recognized as a macbook air and utilities like coolbook that check that would work.
So far my BT headset works. I just checked the links and it appears that the thread was removed. My guess is that a mod on insanelymac did it because as I found later in the thread, slinger2 was posting an old kext with just the header modified to the current version number. In other words, it wasn't really 10.5.5. You can see my posts under the brightness controls thread where I wasn't able to do the brightness hack because the files were way different. I just finished getting mine working using the standard 10.5.5 kexts.
I was having issues with them because of the version of natit.kext I had installed. What I ended up having to do was install natit from the originall eeefix thread and then install my modified 10.5.5 kexts.
I think nhirt's tutorial (from the main wiki page) will have the files you need to be current but that download won't extract for me. I'm sure he'll have it fixed soon though.
