Thanks in advance

"paul: your problem is the easiest to solve

put your nc10 modified iso to root of your current working partition (no name change pls, exactly how it is originally)
put combo update 10.5.6 to root of your current working partition, and run the dvd upgrade 10.5.6

this process will convert your current nc10 10.5.4 dvd to a nc10 10.5.6 dvd iso

with the new dvd iso in hand, copy it your windows xp partition (either using an external drive or paragon ntfs)

and start reading the new pdf guide... (you can remove all previously created partitions and start new guide-- with recover partition and xp partition in hand, remove all others? and read the guide further you will understand)"

Just to be sure:
1) 'root of current working partition' refers to the OSX 10.5.4 system currently running on the NC10?
2) 'put combo update 10.5.6 to root of your current working partition, and run the dvd upgrade 10.5.6' - so this picks up the nc10 modified iso automatically? - didn't know that
3) so when I follow your new guide (ver 2.0) I will essentially destroy the original OS 10.5.4 install by the change in partition sizes and the reinstall of 10.5.6?

Again thanks for your massive efforts on this project

What is the correct file name for the nc10 updated 10.5.4 iso file so that I can make a nc10 10.5.6 from it ?

Thanks.

unfortunately DVDupgrade_10.5.6.mpkg is corrupt - I tried downloading twice from 2 different PCs.

O.k i have another issue i recently restored my nc10 to its original state using samsung recovery program,Then i re-edited boot.ini with chain o etc and added chaino to the hard disk but when i choose mac osx on boot list it just restarts???

g4-flo:

i installed my original install on stock card which is not airport as you know, and did not have that loop problem, i m not saying it is not related to airport (probably related as well) but when i didnt have 1490 card, it still didnt have any loop error at all

didnt check my older install for trackpad after 10.5.6 update but you can give old drivers a try... (appleacpi=appleapic=appleps2) these 3 drivers are for the kb/mouse/trackpad... also i never tried the alps trackpad beta driver either...

battery meter issue is probably related to the powermanagement bundle... if you installed previous packages, you probably have older patched pm bundle if you upgraded to 10.5.6 and used previous 1.1 update files your original bundle may still be in place (system/library/systemconfiguration/powermanagement.bundle.orig)
if you know how to use terminal you can remove the pm bundle current one, and rename the .orig one to bundle (powermanagement.bundle)

it should fix the issue (i forgot the bundle issue i may make a quick revision of the install files to reflect the bundle issue...)

also have you tried the dvd upgrade pack? another user said it is corrupt, which is possible because sometimes during upload process, things can get haywire... i will check it and see if it is true... on the other hand, i m readying the 1.51 gb ppf for jas, for 10.5.6 integration without hassles...


paul:

for iso upgrade process: you said you have jas patched iso right? (jas+ppf=nc10 10.5.4 iso but file name should be still the same =JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso)

1) place the JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso (if you didnt rename the ppf added jas) to your root (root is the top level , like in windows C:\JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso, in osx if you named partitions same as in the previous guide, open finder click on the osx1 name and on the right side you should see files/folders, like system, library, applications etc... that place is root, just drop the iso there among the folders, but not inside any folder!!!)

2) place the combo 10.5.6 update in the same place as above: root!!!

3) run the dvd upgrade installer, step1 and step 3 are choosen, dont touch them, in step 2, choose sub option under dvd iso update/nc10 10.5.4 to nc10 10.5.6 option only... DONT JUST CHOOSE DVD ISO because it will select all sub options==> 10.5.5 iso to 10.5.6, 10.5.4 jas to 10.5.6, 10.5.4 nc10 to 10.5.6<=== three option!! will give you error!! only choose one sub option under dvd iso)

at the end, it should spit out samsung-nc10-10.5.6.iso in the root (meaning it will update the JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso t 10.5.6 and rename it samsung-nc10-10.5.6.iso)

and yes you will destroy all previous partitioning for better structure... clean install!

clear?

blade: i will check the package, it is possible that it may be corrupted in the upload process, what kind of error are you getting?

original jas iso name: JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso
ppf added jas iso name:JaS.OSx86.10.5.4.Client.Server.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso

meaning they are same, only 10.5.5 nc10 upgrade was renamed to something else

rt91: when you press the mac os x option, press the f8 button so quickly (in split second = like half a second or less, this issue is caused by missing counter i think, i never checked boot.plist before to edit sorry i think original jas had it, so this is caried forward i think)

just press the f8 key as quick as possible after the mac os x selection it will bring the options

looks like a limitation of winrar directory structure

why do you unzip it in windows? it is made for osx any result in osx?

=================
Some Media News:
=================

NC20 is coming out, but hold there, no ATOM!, it is based on VIA processor:
1.3GHz VIA Nano U225 processor, a 12.1-inch display, 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11b/g etc same specs...

so does that mean you need OSX installed before you can get the 10.5.6 + NC10 driver all in one installation DVD ?

Yeah I'm not interested in anything with a VIA CPU in it. Personally I'm hoping Samsung does something with NVIDIA's Ion thing.

Tried that several times and it didn't work

Thanks anyway

blade: please read before you ask...

dvd upgrade process currently for people who have installed osx using previous dvds, and i didnt make a ppf for it due to file size (1.5 gb)

so yes, you need to have osx installed before you can have 10.5.6 dvd but not the 10.5.6 install pack... you are confusing yourself...

dvd upgrade project was not my intention initially but thought it would be fun, since people downloaded jas and ppfed it, i made another project to get your current isos to latest in case you need them in future!

10.5.6 install pack is for people who update from 10.5.5 or who are using different distros which i dont really support (but people who are usin other methods should have knowdledge to do things on their own anyways!)

on the other hand, I made a ppf (info about it will be released soon) as well, seeing the mess/trouble noobs creating here (noobs= people who does not read, want a quick solution and want it now without any hassle)

i have no due to entertain anyone either, this is fun, but noob questions like that keep coming too often, getting to my nerves... please read around before you post...

i have made a lot of progress, and info is now all over the place, which im trying to tidy it up into first post, until then learn to read throughly... not just last posts...

sl3: i agree but it has a different target i guess... nc20 looks sexy, but i m not about functionality/power/price ratios... since it is on 12.1, it may be targeted for business who knows?

rt91: tried what? and what does not work? provide clear information, like install log? would be much better than complaining about "it doesnt work it doesnt work" \
my bad, what did you do and how did you install? and and excatly what happens in sequence/order?

I start to reinstall my NC10 Give you feedback !
Just a question, I try to find it on topic.... what is VoodooHDA driver ??

Thx

Wow! Since installing the 10.5.6-version I am experiencing much better battery life due to lower screen brightness. Very good!

I have an issue though. I can't change the screen brightness with the scripts. The brightness icon appears when I press win+up, but nothing happens. Can it be because I don't have CHUD installed? I'll try to install it and try again.

Well, maybe because your nc10 has a bluetooth card.

OK, I'll try your workaround. Can I use single kexts from your update package, also?

How can I update with your package without changing the computer model (MacBook Air)? As I told you, it's a little benefit for me to have a faked MBA because of remote disc.

voodoohda is HDA driver, is a written by voodoo team from scratch based on bsd drivers, to replace applehda driver. With applehda, there is only certain limited amount of codecs built in, makes it hard to work with other codecs like in nc10s and many others... SO voodoo team decided take it up o them, and assembled new hda driver, which claims to support 99% of the codecs out there... however it is still in internal testing, soon will be external testing with selected people, and afterwards will be released when fully ready... meaning you will have internal speaker, hp, internal mic, external mic working w/o trouble or scripts or any funcy way...

g4-flo: macbook air names come with smbios+smbiosefi combination from the driver pack...

swe: 10.5.6 version drivers? or 10.5.6 iso? because 10.5.6 iso has built in chud 10.5.6 driver dont... just download the chud, install it, and try again

====================================
Anyone whoever has RS account and want ppf, pm me
====================================

Yep, after installing CHUD the screen brightness changing worked!

also install the new brightness icon pack thanx to realrooster for hs icons

close quicksilver and start it agin now you should have nicer looking brightness icons than my ugly ducklings

Mysticus, when we're updating our DVD, we need COMBO 10.5.6 or just the Delta 10.5.6? Because I used the delta and it give the "Installation Fail" error after clicking Install

Thx Mysticus ^^
I'm installing your hard work ^^ All is ok for moment
I seen your screencap ! Do you know if it's possible to replace the brightness +/- "icon" ?
If you want I can create 2 icon Apple's Design like ?

- Anybody know if there exist a Dell 1490 drivers wifi card for XP ??? I tried a lot of them but nothing is working !!! :/
- Does I need to update the bios with the new samsung firmware (03CA) ?

dark: i said many times: 10.5.6 combo update

tazevill, after install finished, you can install my additional installer, to replace dvd icon set, to realrooster's design apple like icons... it is also in the temp link place check it

the icons from the dvd are my own ugly ducklings, but you can replace it easily with the additional installer i provided...

also for wifi drivers: i will provide them later tonight

Ok,well i booted pressing F4,went into the samsung recovery and recovered my NC10 to the backup created when i first got the netbook.After this i lost the dualbooting option when i booted up,then i set up the boot.ini to boot mac osx,this did not work as i then noticed i forgot the CHAIN0 file.I added the CHAIN0 file (the one you supplied and rebooted the boot selector screen came up,i select mas osx and then the screen goes black and then restarts to screen again,everytime i repeat thisthe same thing happens over and over

chain0 is only bootloader process starter

do you have osx still installed? if yes, pressing f8 at right timing should bring the os x boot menu, if there is not osx there is nothing to come!

what exactly do you have on your system? you just say chain0 bla bla bla , and nothing comes?

what exactly do you have on your system and what did you do?

sorry Mysticus, you will take me for a dumb, but my english is not so good... :/
so I have a little problem to understand what to do !!! I'm lost !! Probably due to langage (I'm a French guy)

I reinstall totally my NC10 ! I finished to reinstall XP, with drivers.

So now what does I need to do for have the 10.5.6 DVD ? (I have my original JAS 10.5.4 iso) !!!!

I will realise a french tuto for all my "compatriote" ^^

Thanks again !

if you have your jas 10.5.4 original iso, what you can do is:

download dvdupgrade 10.5.6 package from previously give temp link
download 10.5.6 combo update from apple, and place it in the root of your current working osx partition
copy the original jas 10.5.4 to root same as above (make sure you have a copy of jas dvd still somewhere in case anything goes wrong)

run the dvd upgade 10.5.6 package>>>> this will convert your 10.5.4 jas to a samsung nc10 10.5.6 iso

now read the full pdf guide, to reinstall everything as 10.5.6?

=========================================
Anyone with RS account want 10.5.6 ppf for original Jas, PM me
for information, it is ready...
=========================================

I download it ! I download combo too ! But I don't have an osx partitions for the moment, cause I totally resintall my NC10 !
I only have XP for the moment !

It will be more easy to use you PPF for directly converting my 10.5.4 JAS DVD ? And start with a 10.5.6 install ?

mystrius, trust me, I've read every post and your old and new tutoriial before I got started (granted I'm new to OSX). If I ask a question, it's because I'm looking for clarification that is not obvious (to me).

Anyway now that it's obvious the dvd upgrade to 10.5.6 needs OSX installed to get the iso then I gues I won't bother. I need to start from 10.5.4 and I supose I can upgrade to 10.5.6 via apple.com once I have OSX installed.

One request mate, calm down and stop thinking every poster who doesn't have the same level of knowledge as you is a cabbage. People are people mate and you are one of us.

everyone should receive some xmas wish messages from me by now and not to think so hard... there is an easy answer to some questions
blade: it is Mysticus C* (not mystrius???? who is that?)

apply ppf to original jas in windows (you dont need to have osx installed for this time only) but for future purposes, i suggest you to try to understand the process, it is fairly simple... later update will be integrated to current 10.5.6 dvd from now on, no more dvd upgrade process for earlier version again after this 10.5.6 ppf for jas...)

jas 10.5.4 original + jas to nc10 10.5.6 ppf = Latest and fastest NC10 installation...

Tazevil-
Actually, all you need to do is go to the Dell website and search support area for the correct xp drivers for the 1490. They have several packages that work - Remember, Dell only uses windows xp and vista anyways, so they make drivers for both platforms for all of their hardware.

Hi,

Just thought I'd chime in to thank mysticus for all his work. I am picking my NC10 up tomorrow having already ordered new RAM, a Dell 1490 and downloaded the original JAS. Really looking forward to the 'jas to nc10 10.5.6 ppf' to become available!

Keep up the great work!

torrent anyone?

Ho my dear Mystrius oh sorry Mysticus

I have a little problem with my install !
At the end of the install of OSX , my NC10 reboot... and reboot ! I verify all the bios parameters, all is ok.
For information, I have reinstall my XP OS ! I follow the guide and I have 3 partitions (1 for XP, 1 for OSX, 1 for DATA, I delete the recovery partition).

I don't understand :'(

Thx

I patched the iso with 10.5.6 ppf and got the same checksum, so installed. All went well throughout the installation but a few minor issues now on completion:-

no audio at all - any suggestions on how to fix this
no option in preferences to enable mouse options
sleep still not working while on power

everything else seems to be really good, great work
Any help much appreciated.

Cheers
Jooster

jooster: in the guide i mentioned i think, go to sound in system preferences anc change output to internal speaker

mouse problem is something i m aware of and either from 10.5.6 update which some people already mentioned, and because i prefered to use most drivers stock (vanilla) this is something to live with, some things are sacrafisable

sleep in power doesnt work but i mentioned it already, but know that i m working on a solution for it with dsdt fix

jeanjd: delete your post please it is not correct information! no body do what he suggested pls...

tazevil: you are complete noob... where in the guide i mentioned to delete the recovery prtition? i only mentioned last partition, which is data... now you have much bigger problems...

adamcarter: not myself, but hopefully some people who promised to do so will do it

Yeah, I just realized, when I installed my custom XP ISO, I blew away all of the partitions, including the recovery partition. This means I'm pretty much screwed now, right? I can't install OS X without the recovery partition, right?

Ah, crap

no you are not screwed totaly, it will work still if you did the things right, but if you will have to make a full recovery in the future for some reason, you will have trouble! i only mentioned last partition to be removed, i dont understand why people do remove recovery partition... it is for your nc10's xp recovery and only 6 gb size... i hope you understand the concern...

Well I've got a bootable USB drive with XP on it, so if I totally mess something up then I can just reinstall from that. I have all of my stuff backed up, so no worries there.

I've got a patched 10.5.6 NC10 ISO ready to go. I would've installed last night but it was a long day at work so I went to bed! I'll give it a go tonight.

as long as you know what you are doing...

thx @ Mysticus C* for your great work and the time you spent for this project

I have a question.

I have a Samsung NC10 (of course ; ).
I Installed iDeneb 1.3 (running kernel 10.5.5).
Everything works fine so far.
Now I want to use your scripts for brightness control. I extracted the increase/decrease script and change-brightness file from your NC10 10.5.6 installer package.
I installed Quicksilver and configured the hot keys.
If I wan't to use the script I can only see the icons for the brightness controll on the screen, but the brightness do not change.
Now my question
Which kext do I need from your package top make it work. Which kext files I Must replace with your kext files.
Or is ist neccessary that i first upgrade to 10.5.6?
I replaced my AppleInteGMA950.kext and AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext with yours but nothing changed If i am using your two kext file i see no login screen. I only have a blue and bright screen. I can than enter my username and password (just write it blind, i can see no login screen) and then i am login in but i see no desktop/dock etc.

What do I need for brigthness controll. Thx.

Install CHUD and the brightness control should work. I had the same problem until I installed CHUD.

Why do I need CHUD?
What is the newest version and where can I get it without registering on apple.

chud is needed for the reggie app that the brightness script use...

check bike town link in post#1 (update section in the bike town has the chud)

I don't know, but you need it. :-p

You'll find it at bike town.

NC10_JaS.OSx86.10.5.6.Intel.SSE2.SSE3_Mysticus is out --> http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=142591

hello mysticus !!!

I already had remove my restore part before !! few weeks ago I believe it was not important to keep it ! (Cause the Restoration DVD was include).
Do you have an idea to resolve the problem.... ? :s

In details I have 2 primary partitions : the 1rst fot XP (in NTFS), The 2nd one for OSX system ! And a logical partition (depending from the OSX system partition) for my data and save !!!

Thank's a lot for your help !!!

can you show me the screen cap of your hdd partitioning from xp


go to start or desktop, right click on my computer and click on manage menu

open the left click on disk management, and take a screen capture...

Hi Mistycus,
congratulation for your great work.

I have a problem.
I upgraded my Jas 10.5.4 original iso to 10.5.6 with your dvdupgrade and all works well.
After, I burned the new iso 10.5.6 to DVD and then I tried to reinstall from USB DVD my new 10.5.6 iso. I start from DVD and the install begin but, after the dvd check, it give me an error impossible to install mac osx because can't find a requested file.

What is wrong?
Thanks

Robi

yes I'll like, but when I start my NC10 OSX start directly and show the logo apple (and reboot) I dont have any menu to choose to start with XP !!!

robi: did you check md5 information before ppf? for both jas and ppf applied iso? confirmed they are correct?

and than did you read the guide ? you dont need the usb dvd rom for installation, however if you use dvd method, you need to burn the dvd at 4x or less speed else it will cause trouble... like you said... because dvd cant read the files correctly if burned at high speed... one possibility is also dvd rom is old and not able to read certain medias...

tazevil: press f8 (couple of times) quickly!!! when you start your netbook... see if it brings the menu

Is it possible to update to 10.5.6 (currently got 10.5.4 installed) - but I'd like to try this without having to create the iso if possible and without needing to re-partition etc. - if that makes sense. I have the apple 10.5.6 update program as well as Mysticus NC10 upgrade package.

PS I don't have a working Mac Lan connection yet as my Dell 1390 card still in transit from China but I can copy files with an 8GB USB key.

Thanks.

I installed the chud and I installed the brightness icon update

but when i press windows key + up/down i only see (I think the old) icon.
But no brigthness changes

edit: i have found a way to restore the password with the brightness script, it is not that secure at it should be

edit2:
the result of the decrease script ist

"PCI Device - Display controller: display (0:0:2:1)
Offset 0xf4 0x9b |1 0 0 1|1 0 1 1|"

is that ok?
