Hi,

Is it possible to install OSX from an external HDD rather than external DVD ?

Thanks

Steve

Hi,

I would just like to thank Paul (And the other folks who added their useful insights!) for allowing me to sit here and type this message on my Advent 4211 running 10.5.4!

There's a few quirks, but I figured most of them are probably because I'm still tinkering. Next up, 10.5.5! Paul, you shall find yourself some cash to buy a few screws for your next netbook.

BTW, Just fired up Geekbench and got 930! Let's see where a bit more tweaking can get me.

I managed to get mine to 10.5.5 with fairly minimal hassle.  10.5.6  I just haven't bothered with.

Did anyone figure out how to fix the blue screen after the kexts installed and 10.5.4? I'm confused I followed everything step by step. Last reboot before the update OS part and now the blue screen alot of work to end in a brick wall. HELP!!!

[averylowiq]

After following all the steps I got the Mac OS X working, however, a system update resulted in getting "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button" constantly.

Any ideas how I can successfully boot the OS? This is the first time I am using OSX so any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

Edit: The kernel is panic-ing in the driver "com.apple.driver.AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement (76.0.0)@0x2ed85000->0x2eda3fff." Any way to get around it?

never use the system updater to update your OS install on the Wind.

You need to reinstall and then carry out each incremental back-up precisely following the various 'how to's' found in these forums or at other good sources such as MSI Wind Forums.

I recently rebuilt my Hackintosh using the MSIWindOSX 'distro' instead of the Kelyway version discussed in this thread. Personally I found it was better and, as it has a larger following, there is more help out there. Currnetly running on 10.5.7 with no problems at all.

Good luck

[averylowiq]

Thanks for the reply Johnwin. I figured I shouldn't have used the system updater. I will give MSIWindOSX distro a shot next.

First, thanks Paul for the guide and video - I referred to both while doing the install on a U100 and it worked great with only a couple of minor hiccups.

Second, I read all 39 pages. Yes, every single page.  I glossed over posts where people where whining about something not working because they didn't read or used a different ISO, which leads me to my third point...

If you're not technically adept enough to figure out the problems yourself, READ THE ENTIRE FVCKING THREAD.  I deal with forums on a daily basis, I'm a moderator for two heavily trafficked websites and I can't tell you how frustrating it is dealing with idiots who simply can't read or don't search.  After the couple of hours I spent on this thread reading from start to finish while doing my install, I learned enough to answer nearly ALL of the questions asked.  And for those I couldn't answer, a quick search and/or Google DID solve my problems.

I would love to add -- for those who are doing an install on a newer machine, you should check out the 2nd post on this page by cbtee; many of the newer units have a b/g/n wireless card by Ralink rather than the Realtek one.  Get his drivers, they will work.

Oh, and if you have the gray screen problem after the 10.5.5 update, just boot into safe mode (hit a key when prompted at boot and type "-x" without quotes) then reload ALL the kext files with the utility.

Working: most stuff, including sound and WIFI
Not working: the battery meter (got an "X" after a reboot for some reason, but I'm not concerned), LAN (again, not concerned as WIFI is working)
Not tested but presumed working: webcam
Not tested but presumed not working until I apply a fix: headphone, mic, two-finger-scrolling

Again, thanks Paul and everyone who has contributed usefull information to this thread.

A follow-up to my own post...

- Battery meter is working; rebooted without the power supply and now the X is gone.
- Webcam is working; had to use the FN button to enable it tho as it wasn't at first.
- Built-in microphone is not working, nor is the subsystem (doesn't show up as an input device).  Will need to re-read and patch in order to use Skype.
- PhotoBooth is not working; gives the "graphic card" error (which I read about and think I can fix).

1st, thanks to Paul, great "how to"
2nd, hackerX64 this worked for me, but either a reboot or the BIOS update I just installed killed the wireless drivers??
3rd, Just updated to BIOS vers 1.0D and lost all USB connections in OSX.   (I haven't installed windows 7 rc1 yet to see if usb works in windows)

Thanks for everyone's help,

A video of the install is below, enjoy! Unfortunately i've noticed that the somehow the end of the 10.5.3 patch install (doing the kernel install and the 'update -v') has gone AWOL, but i'll try and find this bit and chop it in.

hello there. just came across your site and i should've read through with this before i installed kalyway 10.5.2... soo soo very interesting and details were magnificent...

hope you can help me.... watching through your video i noticed that before you installed kalyway, after partitioning the disc, you clicked on customize to select and deselect certain installs... you see i didnt do this and went ahead and installed whatever was going to be installed by default... strange thing all went well.. however i noticed as i was trying to use iphoto, everytime i try viewing a slideshow with the default slideshow settings, nothing comes out, screen is all black and i have to make a hard reboot (depressing the power button) for it to reboot. have you experienced this? is that why you have to customize before installing?

i am quite new to your webpage and group, but am hoping that you will be able to help me..

thanks again for all your hardwork with the msi wind... you're the MAN!!!

thanks again and hope to hear from you soon

Ha Paul Okera here. Ive been thinking about getting a netbook, the msiwind u115 with the duel SSD and a mechanical drives. Wanted to know if the osx install works on it? Can I upgrade from 1 gb to 2gb? Whats the max? and can you confirm that there going to come out with an upgraded model with a 16 gb SSD Drive? if they are I might just put the purchase on hold until then. Thank also great job on the installation video.

John I am new to all this and seek help. I am in Australia and recently bought a WindU100+ that I would like to have running either Windows 7 or Snow leopard. I guess I have to wait until we get past the beta version for windows as I gather it will not work past the planned release date. Secondly, have you found anyone who has snow leopard on a Wind yet?
I am also hoping that the wifi and mic will work without too much fiddling.

[bigtreeman]

wifi drivers available, they work for me.
thank you Realtek

48. Almost done! All you need to do now is to get a network connection (either by Ethernet or Wireless if you are using a non-standard card), and run 'Software Update' from the 'Apple' menu to get the latest software updates.

I'm new to MacOSX
a problem for me was an online software update to 10.5.7
which left me with a kernel panic.
How should I handle future software updates which mess with the kernel?
I'm now doing a complete re-install

hi paul, can i have the link to the kext helper b7 because i cant open kext files
