I have successfully updated to 10.6.7 following this thread's instructions. After the initial Snow Leopard installation, I download and installed the 10.6.4 Combo Update (Followed the guide procedures) and then dowloaded and installed the 10.6.7 Combo Update (Same as 10.6.4). I used the updated NetbookInstaller that was provided for 10.6.4 to install 10.6.7. In order to boot in "recovery=y" I had to hold the SHIFT button after restart, TAB didn't work for me. Thanks for the creating this thread!

I can confirm that it works following these directions as well.

I was hitting both shift and tab to be safe.

Also, I have determined that the hissing noise that many are complaining about is due to the input gain in the voodoo preferences. Turn it down, and your set. This gets reset everytime you reboot your computer though.

Last I have had issues since 10.6.1 (or 6.0 not sure at this point) with sleep.... goes into panic, and says something about the ralink driver, so I am just going to look into replacing the wifi card with one that supports airport, seems like it would be a lot easier.
Just glad that I can use xcode 3+ so I can begin learning how to develop for the iPhone (have some java/c experience). Can't afford a mac pro right now as a college student.

I can't thank the community here enough, and especially the OP for all the effort, detail, and help provide to make this as easy as possible for everyone with a 1000HE.

Had to register just to say all that

Well I hope I ain't bumping a thread that is completely dead since I jumped on this bandwagon rather late... for everyone that is having an issue with the hissing noise, I figured out a permanent fix. I am a n00b w/ hackintosh so it may not fix every single persons problems


Copy the voodoohda.kext from the general extensions folder, paste on desktop.
Right click, show package contents, open info.plist with a text editor (if you use xcode just add a string to mixer values called iGain with 0 as a value) and where you see the following

<dict>
<key>iMix</key>
<string>30</string>
</dict>

Well just add a string to it, in the end it looks like this... essentially add any of the mixer names and the default value following this format.

<dict>
<key>iGain</key>
<string>0</string>
<key>iMix</key>
<string>30</string>
</dict>
hit save
and magic.... paste it back in the general extensions folder over the old version, run the updateextensions, and reboot... hissing noise gone, everything works perfect so far audio wise.

If you have a ralink wireless n adapter... do whatever you can to get rid of it, just my advice. It causes random kernel panics on sleep, and does not support wpa enterprise, which is what my college uses and renders the netbook almost useless on campus. thank you for the idea of creating a shared partition though, I was about to just use ntfs-3g or whatever.

Badass - thanks! Working for me although how do I disable Verbose Boot?



Thanks worked like a charm!

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the system twice and still can't get sound. I'm fully up and running then try installing the preference pane and get an error. This is at 10.6.7.

You must be missing a step somewhere along the line, if you follow to the T you won't have any issues!!

the only thing different is that i did not go to 10.6.4. i went from 10.6.1 to 10.6.7. i've done it 3 times now, following the guide. i'm sure i'm doing something wrong but i have no idea what.

glad I could help someone else with this issue!

I did the same as you, went straight to 10.6.7.

I had a similar issue... After putting the voodoohda.kext in the general extensions folder(as well as all your other .kext), you must run the updateextensions. Be patient, and it should ask for your password once at the begining, and once near its completion. This can take a while... like 5 minutes or so of it just turning the circle thing. Just wait till it tells you its done. Then hit ok, and finally install the preferences file by double clicking on it(you may have to restart, though I think after the update runs fine you don't- can't hurt).

I was impatient a few times, and had the same issue about installing the preferences, I just had to make sure that the updater completed, and then it would let me instal it without error.

The only issue I have is when I close the lid and re-open it I get a kernal panic, everytime! Any ideas on how to fix this?

great idea, but no go. i tried removing the vodoo preference pane with appzapper
and then followed your instructions. still didn't work. do you think i should try reinstalling everything?
