“Webcam used to work, albeit upside down before…I think I'm about the only person who enjoyed it being upside down lol! Thought about it more last night, and read through more, and I think I'm going to try iBoot to 10.6.3, then combo update …”

“Well after much fiddling, I gave up, copied all my documents and decided to start fresh. I first tried the Boot CD with a retail 10.6.3 disc, this failed to boot, and ended with a KP. I Believe it had to do with the graphics enabler, though…”

“Okay, updated, restarted and it failed to boot. 1. First error message was the sound issue, no worries, booted into safe mode and installed appleHDA.kext 2. Still doesn't boot. Looked at it again with -v and it looks like it hangs just afte…”

“Heya All, I've been running 10.6.2 on my Asus K60IN since October of 2009. Back then we had the retail disc and a series of kext's to get everything running. I was just wondering if I can update directly from 10.6.2 to 10.6.6 without many i…”

“Is there any way to get the default apple boot image instead of a debug? I know its not critical, but it would be nice to see the apple logo at boot, instead of reading the same boot code over and over each time it boots! Ryan”

“I've noticed that when I'm on battery power, the cpu drops to 1.2 ghz, and plugged in its at 2.2ghz”

“Go for a new card, if your lucky, you might even have a compatible card in another laptop (My MSI wind had one, so I swapped it into this machine) Everything works quite well. Haven't had a KP is some time (knock on wood) Ryan”

“For the trackpad, look for Flip360's Extra folder (First Page Link) simply copy and paste VooDooPS2.kext and AppleACPIPS2.kext into "Extra/Extension" install with your favourite kext utility and reboot. The sound instructions are here: Asus…”

“Thanks for the help guys, I uninstalled and reinstalled the kexts a few times, and it did work again, its back to a perfect working machine! I just noticed with my network, that it can connect to anything via IP, but has trouble showing tho…”

“Rebuilt using Kext Utility, VoodooPS2 is in E/E as well as S/L/E…No dice Would it have anything to do with the ACERK50IN.kext, keep in mind I am on AcerK60 (Basically the same unit, larger screen, but everything till now has worked! Tried t…”

“Hmm, I'll try that again, last time I tried the kext utility without installing any kext's, it kept coming up "Waiting system rebuild "Snow Leo" "Extensions.mkext" and would time out, but If I install a kext, then run kext utility it rebuil…”

“My trackpad has stopped working. I reinstalled the VoodooPS2 kext, no go. Possibly stopped working after getting sound installed. Any idea what happened here?”

“Thanks, I tried that after posting, and it works! Awesome job, Thanks! I still can't figure out why this machine won't find my network printers when every other mac/Hackintosh can… Ryan”

“I've removed VoodooHDA, put AsusK50IN.kext and HDAEnabler into E/E, replaced AppleHDA in S/L/E and the icon is still greyed out. Should I try putting AsusK50IN and HDAEnabler into S/L/E instead? Ryan”

“I will try this after work today, But, while I'm here I'm noticing something new. I think there may be some issues with the ethernet on these machines. It is working, however I've had no luck in finding any of the network printers on our ne…”

“Awesome, should we remove voodoohda before this kext, will try it soon though Ryan”

“For me, I get static regardless of the application, but by playing around with the output settings using the MIDI control panel, I can reduce the noise. I think the mic is causing the interference. If I can blacklist/remove OSX from seeing …”

“Okay, well here's some progress on the sound, and it seems its related to the output settings. Using the kext Flip360 posted, I can get sound, but with considerable noise. I've been playing around with Apple's MIDI utility in the Utilities …”

“Right, audio does work, but its got a lot of noise. It reminds me of the Aspire One, the mic created a lot of interference, unless turned way down...sadly, this does nothing here. I have a interesting issue now, maybe be hackintosh related …”

“I will test this as soon as possible, just a thought, are you running the latest iTunes? Maybe try deleting iTunes's preferences (long shot, but who knows)”

“Hmm, sounds promising, Can you post a link to that kext. I'll give it a shout and let you know! Ryan”

“kokozedman, Flip360, Thanks for your efforts. I wish I could help out more with testing, but I'm limited when it comes to Hackintosh's now. I used to do this quite often, but it's been quite awhile, and I've forgotten more than naught! Ryan”

“Quick Question. Looking about 10.6.2 upgrade, most everyone says to install NullCPUPowerManagement.kext. before installing the update. Edit: I needed Null... for my install to boot, not to actually run. So I will need to instal NullCPU…sorr…”

“Is anyone else getting the odd kernal panic at all? I've had 3 KP's this week. Seems to be just random…not a deal killer, but just seems odd… Ryan”

“Since this is a vanilla install, I should be able to update to 10.6.2 directly without issue correct? Just backup my kext's and reinstall them if required? Ryan”

“Did you have a chance to try that kext I posted earlier about the sound? I'm curious to see if it works. I need to run out for a bit, so I can't try it myself! Ryan”

“Okay, got NVEnabler to work just fine, same with PS2 and Battery (Mine shows 9 percent if I unplug the AC…not a concern since I almost always have it plugged in) Tried Sleep enabler from the extras folder to no avail, caused a KP and wouldn…”

“Can anyone help me with nvenabler? This was disabled in Chameleon loader (to get it to boot) and now I'm wondering how to go about installing the kext and getting correct resoultion qe etc...”

“I used my MSI Wind running leopard to generate the installer usb. It created a dsdt, but it was particular to my Wind, so I deleted it, booted up the installer on my K60IN, and ran the installer script again to generate a new dsdt. One thin…”

“Quick Update: I formatted my drive again, and changed NVEnabler to No, and it does boot to the installer now. Funny because I know this is the same gpu chipset as the K50IN…Installing now, I will keep you up to date! Edit: Looks like the in…”

“Heya, Still no luck with any of the ahci stuff. I am going to try installing it without the graphics enabler. Maybe that is the root of my problem. It hangs just after declaring the modem and ip/mac address. See my photo here:”

“Well, I'm running into some issues. The Chameleon boot loader works fine, and it starts to boot osx. At first I was getting a KP, No HPETS available, incorrect cpumanagement. No Big sweat, I added this kext: PRE-INSTALL AUTOMATOR v1.1 For e…”

“I know this may sound dumb, but its been awhile since my last hackintosh. I will need to use the kext utility to install all the kext's from the extra folder…I just can't copy and paste can I... Things are ready to go, I just need to find s…”

“Sweet, thanks, I'm really starting to think this laptop is a great choice for OSX (And you can't beat the price either) Can't wait to get started on this! Ryan”

“Thanks, I'm looking forward to trying it out. I'll need to make the loader using my MSI Wind tonight. Did you include the kext's while preparing the loader, or did you do those post install? I wasn't sure about the Realtek kext. I'd only fo…”

“Heya, I just picked up this laptop myself. I've swapped out the wifi, and am planning on loading up snow leopard this weekend. Could you be kind enough to posts the kext's that you used for your installation. Also have you tried this kext f…”

“These should be identical to the Acer Aspire One 10" model. The 9" AAo had good OSX support minus wifi and sleep. I think the 10" version is about the same as well. I think at the time I used the MSIWindOSX iso...but things could have chang…”

“Thank you, I will keep you posted on how things go! Ryan”
