Samsung NC10 UK revision, Updates / Installation / Modding etc, stuff will be here Options

[catalyst11]

auto restart is because of the installation process, requires some files to be installed at the restart rather then during update, thefore the auto-restart is perfectly normal, and expected!

however for your gfx issue, you will need to wait a bit... i m bussy, but will be making patches installer for this update this week...

Oh, don't waste your time trying to get a fix on my gfx. I did the update knowing that it could mess stuff up because I am planning to install a 320GB 7200rpm drive anyways. Not sure if the question from above got answered though, with installing Win7 & OSX (no XP) would work fine. I assume it would but if I know it's not going to work, I would probably just do XP & OSX again and dual-boot vs. tri-boot. Thanks for all your work Mysticus, no way I would be able to get stuff installed without your work.

win 7 + osx should work. but make sure:

1- use external hdd (with ddmaced dvd iso) or external dvdrom
2- boot dvd
3- partition the hdd as you like! (3 partitions at least preferebly 4!)
1 for osx, 1 for win7, 1 for data/backup for win, 1 for data/backup for osx (Partitions as HFS+ Journaled, DOS/FAT *later will be converted to ntfs by windows, dos/fat, hfs+ journaled,) partition as MBR preferebly, although guid would work just fine as well:)
4- install osx first
5- install win7 next
6- you will need to add tboot from ddmac package to your win partition, and add the tboot option to win7 bootloader either manually or using bcedit! whichever suits u better, which i will explain later in a different guide...

this will ensure win7 and osx can work just fine.... as you will have your partitions ready already, win7 should not create another partition of its own!

if you install win7 first, it creates an system/boot partition of its own system files seperate than the windows installation partition!... which causes the bootloader for osx not work properly i think...

good luck...

10.5.7 dvd iso is on the way as well

Hii everybody, I'm stuck with the installation of OSX --> I'v follow the guide but i get stuck when the installation is finished and they ask for the reboot so I reboot but after this a screen remains of a apple logo with a loading bar. The guide says that after reboot you can continue with the registration but i'm not able to do this.

What is wrong? Can somebody help me please!!

you must have missed something in teh install!

have u clicked on the customize button, and choosed samsung nc10 option?

[memo8]

no I didn't saw the customize button and in the guide it is different, I got the 10.5.6 iso the guide is talking about a 10.5.4. after I did the partition name change in OSX1 and OSX2 a slide appears with continue after this the whole page is different in the guide there is a text with ENJOY AGAIN but my screens says ENJOY AND MANY THANKS TO JAS and something else but the text was definitly larger.

I used the iso from rapidshare made by you and JAS, it was quite a job to download it (it was 20 rar files)
and I used this untouched with ddmac

what is wrong? can you help me!

Greetz Memo

yeh I have the same issue!

I previously installed using the same instructions and everything went fine, I since have replaced the nc10 hd for a larger drive and replaced the wifi card, all before trying the install, I vaguely remember reading somewhere that you might have to install osx *before* replacing the wifi card... is that correct?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure if you guys saw this about the battery life increase on Atom-based hackintoshes with the 10.5.7 update:

9-to-5 Mac Link

Can't wait for Mysticus to drop a working update patch package on us and see what we can squeeze out of an NC10 in 10.5.7.

there is a customize button! you cant possibly not see it! well if you press next buttons too many times, i guess, you can, start the installer, and check again!
choose customize, and samsung nc10!

[memo8]

[naujoks]

No word on how to update to 10.5.7?
Is it possible, yes/no/not yet?

All you have to do is go back 1 page in this thread and READ. Or hit the other forums (listed on the first page of this thread) and READ MORE there.

[loiphin]

Also busting in anticipation of Mysticus's 10.5.7 update in light of the recent reports that 10.5.7 considerably improves battery life on hackintosh atom based netbooks.

thanx for the reminder

currently forum is having some down-time, dunno yet what is going on...

EDIT: Maintanance down-time...

[ Mysticus C*]

ok server is having some issues, and dont know when it will be back, so I m gonna finish the samsung update patches in about 10 mins, and it will be ready in usual place

update contents will be:

+ GMA950 patched
+ FB patched
+ Airport (with all the device ids included)
+ SMBiosResolver (this will remove the applesmbiosefi, and this way it fixes processor being detected as 1.6ghz rather than whopping 4.1 ghz and fixes bus speed as 533 rather than 100!)
+ Natit this will ensure smooth transition as some of you may be using old-fb therefore screen wont come up, until you install either old fb, or natit...

No need for ethernet patch as built-in drive now supports our card but still shows MAC as 1-2-3-4-5 way... but i will provide another command line tool to patch to your own real MAC given that you enter your MAC address into the file...

I updated from myself to 10.5.7.
After the reboot, I had 800X600 resolution. I installed then patched drivers for the graphic card and all was ok.
I noticed that the "about this mac" box reported wrong information and I decided to use osx86tools app to correct the info box.
BUT it broken my about this mac box... I have no more info in my about box.
will your package fix my problem ?? or how can I fix this ?
Thanks

[ Mysticus C*]

1-) Download Samsung NC10 10.5.7 Post Update Patches.pkg
2a-) Download 10.5.7 Delta (if you are updating from 10.5.6)
or
2b-) Download 10.5.7 Combo (if you are updating from 10.5.5 or lower version)
3-) Install Official Delta or Combo Update (DO NOT RESTART!!!! MINIMIZE ONLY after INSTALL FINISHED)
4-) Install Samsung NC10 10.5.7 Post Update Patches.pkg (RESTART NOW)
5-) Wait Patiently, as system will restart one more time before it goes to GUI, which is normal and comes from original UPDATE!!!

You are good to go...

Thanks man. Look forward to a new iso. I use a compressed dd image of my install to restore from with all the updates and mods. It would be great to have a nice clean base with power management and everything else working.
