10.6.7 Success
 

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!

no sound
 

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?

10.6.0 sound, 10.6.2 sound, 10.6.7 no sound
 

followed the guide and had sound in 10.6.0. upgraded from 10.6.2 dmg, going through all steps again and had sound. upgraded to 10.6.7, followed all steps again and get the error message and no sound. any suggestions? i've just updated to the latest bios and will go through the whole process again, but would love some feedback.

anyone try 10.6.8 yet?

i was wondering the same thing

@djsam & K0t:

Yeah....10.6.8 working....so far everything I need tests good. I'll need to play with it more....I followed this guide (thanks Will) to to install 10.6.3 and got everything working. Before upgrading, made a backup with both time machine & disk utility just in case anything FU'p. And I screwed up a few times before making backups - haha.

I went from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 using the 10.6.8 ComboUpdate. And following this guide:

http://prasys.info/2011/06/howto-mac...d-intel-atoms/

I'm not sure what the patched kernel does but it booted after following his instructions. I forgot to run NetbootInstaller (0.84.RC1) so it hung after reboot. Installed it after getting into recovery. I put back all of Will's kexts into /Extra/GeneralExtensions and launched the shoe program (UpdateExtra app)

The hardest thing to get working was sound - the VoodooHDA.kext was in /Extra/GE and I must have clicked UpdateExtra a million times but that didn't do anything. When clicking on VoodooHDA Pref Pane - it would give me an error too. So I knew sound wasn't right. What finally got sound working was just copying the whole VoodooHDA.kext into /System/Library/Extensions -- I know you are not supposed to do it that way but it worked.

Anyways it worked for me.....Good luck to you all

I updated to 10.6.8 but I'm having issues with the graphics acceleration.

Hi Guys, maybe one of you can help me:

I got 10.6.7 in me 1000HE, and everything works, except sleep.
I've generated a custom DSDT, downloaded the kernel already patched with atom support, tried with nullintelcpm and sleepenabler, but no luck, I can get it to sleep.
The fan is also running all the time to full speed, but I guess that is related to not having the speedstep from the appleintelcpm

Does anyone know what can I do to fix this?

Thanks!

Hi, i am a noob fyi. How do i install 10.6.3 without a mac and without a dvd/cd rom? I tried the suggested Legacy EmpireEFI (converted into bootable USB) but it just stalled/hanged when i selected the 10.6.3 installer disc (also converted into bootable USB) at the EmpireEFI selection boot. I even tried using NBI ISO, it doesn't allows me to install with alot of kernel panics (of course the NBI is not written for 1000HE). Any suggestions>?

THANKS!

I don't have a Mac either, so I made a hackintosh in a VirtualBox (there's a great guide at lifehacker: http://lifehacker.com/5583650/run-ma...box-on-windows). Then I used myhack and netbookinstaller, and got the installation pendrive without problems. I even patched the osinstall so I could install without formatting the HD as GUID.
Try that, and if you have issues, post here and I'll try to help.

Good luck!

For anyone having issues with graphics on 10.6.8:

Use the AppleIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext from the kexts provided with this guide, and then AppleIntelGMA950.kext from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?dbxn3ff7w22sphq

(Hopefully external links are tolerated, credit should be given where it is due.)

That solved the issue perfectly for me!

10.6.8 fully working for me now!

Note: animations are a little laggy when opening stacks on my setup. Not sure why.

hi,
does your mic work using voodoohda with this netbook eeepc 1000he? Here mic doesn't work... speakers and headphones work, but not internal/external microphone. Anyone that patched applehda for this laptop already for its codec?
another thing it doesn't work is hibernation... does it work for you?
thanks!
mal

Mic works for me.

Hibernation is also causing me some issues, but I rarely do that, and with the crazy boot times, I don't think I'll be needing it too much. Maybe try the "SleepEnabler.kext" from prasys' blog post, mentioned above.

I discovered ethernet was also not working. I read into this a bit, and apparently it could have something to do with graphics (not sure how/why). I'm going to be looking into this some more.

thanks!
i found another nice thread where there is some acpi4asus.kext... give it a look :

http://www.root86.org/showthread.php....7-Tutorial-V2

Thanks for keeping this netbook up & running :) i hope someone will patch applehda for it :)
mal

SleepEnabler.kext from prasys' blog post does the trick!

Ethernet is the only thing not working right now. (I'm not trying WiFi, my Airport card will be here in a week or two.)

hi sudoadam!
thanks for your reply. Would you share your extra folder? (are you using extra folder with meklort's method NBI or are you putting everything in S/L/E?)

My problems after upgrading to 10.6.8 combo update:

- mic is still not working and voodooprefpane is giving me an error (can't map memory i guess) ... omg when will we have a patched applehda?? should i do it by myself :) LOL

- sleep is not working (perhaps i need such sleepenabler, but before i didn't need it with 10.6.4)

- my airport card does not work any more (with 10.6.4 worked)... i need to give a look in IO802networkfamily kext inside plugins folder if there is my dev id of my airport card inside, perhaps something changed in newest 10.6.8 update. For the rest it went smooth! i even used original applegma950 (patched by netbookinstaller of course)

- i see an ethernet card named "build PCI ethernet" , but dunno if it works or not... will investigate more.

Mal

I'm using NBI.

I'm using the VoodooHDA.kext from the OP.

I didn't need SleepEnabler.kext before 10.6.8, but I do now.

I got graphics actually working using this awesome post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=210660
(Use the 10.6.8 graphics package in the attachments.)

I'll get my extras up here so people can take a look. I'm really happy with the results of this.

EDIT: I'm not going to upload my setup just yet, looks like waking after sleeping doesn't really work.

hi,
i fixed the audio problem, now my mic works with voodoohda , sleep works with sleepenabler, but wifi doesn't work any more here :( it seems hardware is not recognized ... do you think it may a IOPCIFamily or ACPI problem? How to fix it in 10.6.8?
i have a 1390 wifi card inside, before updating it was working nicely! Any suggestion?
