Lenovo IdeaPad S10 I am thinking of getting one of these with my tax return ($349 on newegg), anyone else have one working with OS X? Is it easy to set up? Any other advise?

I have gotten a hold of the disk image and have been trying to install it for a while now. I first tried with my SATA drive and that did not work, I was unable to mount the drive in "disk utility" and therefore could not format it. I then…

“Perfect install! OS: MacOSX Leopard 10.5.2 REV 2 (Zephyroth) CPU: AMD A64 X2 6000 3.0 AM2 MB: Gigabyte GA-M61P-S3 Mem: 2Gb GSKILL graphics: MSI 6800GT x256 sound: on motherboard: Realtek ALC883 codec chip (working with ALC883Audio.mpkg) Dvd…”

“crencom, you and i have the same motherboard, i know that the lan does not work. I tried a lot to get it to.. eventually got a new nic off ebay for the cheap and used Tulip drivers to get it to work. As for the sound card, all you need is t…”

“got this thing working like a dream now! OS: MacOSX Leopard 10.5.1 (Zephyroth) CPU: AMD A64 X2 6000 3.0 AM2 MB: Gigabyte GA-M61P-S3 Mem: 2Gb GSKILL graphics: on motherboard video: nvidia 6100/ nforce 430(stuck at crapy resolution, tried NVI…”

“i have just bought a new Tenda TEL9939DI lan adapter, but the computer does not see it. i have reinstalled with the vanilla disk image because I was told that a PCI lan card with a rtl8139d chip should work, is this not the case, does anyon…”

“WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO i have gotten this working, this the first time I have had EVERYTHING on my system working! thanks so much Zeph!”

“i am at the native 1024x600 in OS X, Colors is Millions and Refresh is 56h”

“thanks, it runs great, I have not had any problems yet. like i said, in OS X everything but the mic & ethernet works. the webcam, the wireless, speakers and headphone jacks. sleep is working and so is card reader. vga out is working too. i …”

“I have gotten my S10 and I have loaded it up with OS X 10.5.6 using the msiwindosx.iso and i have it dual booting with XP. The only thing that does not work in OS X is the built in microphone, kind of a bummer for skype, but thats alright. …”

“well i decided to get the S10. I found that I can buy 2 gb ram, a 6 cell battery and a larger hard drive for less than the samsung, plus I will have a spare 3 cell battery as a backup too! there is also a bluetooth chip that is really easy …”

“thanks guys... i have been looking around a bit and now I am even more undecided... I have started thinking about getting a Samsung NC10 instead. It has a 6-cell battery and bluetooth. Reviewers say they can get about 6 hours of battery lif…”

“[cite] eddie11c:[cite] christurner:ok, great. How do I know what chipset I have? with CPU-Z? if all i have to do is install a newer version of AppleNForceATA.kext then why did Zeph just not update it in the image that he sent out himeslf… Z…”

“ok, great. How do I know what chipset I have? with CPU-Z? if all i have to do is install a newer version of AppleNForceATA.kext then why did Zeph just not update it in the image that he sent out himeslf…”

“i am having a similar problem, it does not matter if i am using IDE or SATA hard drives. I have messed with the master/ slave ports, and nothing works. tried to boot with -v and it says "still waiting for root device" dvd drive is SATA hard…”

“yes because i typed this -x "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32" with the " " " ", exactly like they are and it skipped the "do you already own a mac bit..." and made the admin user. Issue: Upon install, the process hangs in an infinite (?) loop ci…”

“bap, i am not sure, it told me that something like "the new user set up process is not compatible" and then it created the Admin user with a blank password. I then deleted all the ".kext file that starts with "GeForce" or "Ge" or "NV" or "N…”

“cgsheen thank you for your help through all this, I am going to buy a Realtek 8139 on ebay for less than 5 busk w/S&H. i think i am also going to wait for the rev2 as it should have my sound card drivers in it and should be able to use my S…”

“ok, sweet, i deleted all those and I am now able to boot in with out the -x! thats great. i am going to try to get the lan to work next, but it might be worth it just to buy a PCI card... thanks some much for the help! I cant wait to play a…”

“all right, i have stuck with the old ATA for now, I might try the SATA again when v2 comes out. So with this fresh install i get a kernel panic without the "-x" but when OS X does load (using -x) i get the "loop circling between chosing lan…”

“alright, for an update, i have on board motherboard audio is : Realtek ALC883 codec chip on board motherboard lan is Realtec RTL8211 on board motherboard video is (cgsheen guessed) nvidia 6100/ nforce 430 chipset i have also checked the htt…”

“thank you for this method, i had started the torrent, but that was going to take a day and a half (38 hours!) i said, why wait that long?”

“dont know f you want to save money, but i just bought a Realtek 8139 off ebay from hong kong $.99 + 2.99 S&H… i have yet to get it, so i cant say if it will work or not, will keep you updated… search.eb ay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&s…”

“i dont know what to say, thats not what it did for me, i am out of suggestions. sorry mate”

“where/ when does it tell you that the monitor is not supported?”

“I own a D-Link DWL-G122 but I have not been able to get it to work with my OSX 10.5 Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.1 install. I have tired the drivers from http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Macintosh.html and after they install i have t…”

“hey Firewalk, thanks for the help, that really speeds this sucker up! and it would be great if zeph could put it in the next version!”

“mine is very slow as well and I do have a motherboard with the Chipset North Bridge: AMD 690G South Bridge: AMD SB600 are there know issues with this? is there anything that can be done? btw, my mouse moves fine.”

“thanks, thats good to know as i am getting it from the torrent - never mind, i am using the news group, why wait 1 day 13 hours?”

“_*link removed* - just found this on the bay... (go look for it yourself!) NO torrent links allowed! edited by: DoiX -- good to know, thanks!”

“this is why people choose mac over windows - less issues, more security, and fewer backdoors… but thanks for the laughs”

“i am not sure why, but I seem to get them as well after long up times, with only firefox and adium running. I just Log Out and log back in, problem solved… LOL”

“mine is my name... not too original”

“26, will be 27 in march”

“got it from the bay”

“i would be interested to know this as well. thanks!”
