93bh Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I made this thread because there are no other S96S thread. Some S96S user having trouble with OSx86 in their S96S so this thread will help them to install and solve the problems. I see very few people installed OSx86 in their laptop. But just in case, I'm putting this thread up for S96S users. This guide tells you how to install iPC OSx86 and the links for downloading the patches, and drivers. I successfully installed OSx86 in my brother's S96S and made almost all the features works under 10.5.6. Parts That Will Works -Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 (all core working) -nVidia GeForce 8600m GS (QE, CI, and external VGA) -Intel HDA 82801H ALC883 -Ethernet -Card Reader (SD Card only) -Keyboard -Trackpad with scrolling -Battery Meter -USB Driver -Bluetooth Installations Guide 1. Download and burn iPC OSx86 at the lowest speed like 4x. 2. Make a FAT32 or RAW partition and set it more than 20 GB. Set it as active partition using Disk Part in Windows. 3. Once you get into installation DVD, go to Utilities and click on Disk Utility. 4. Click on the partition that you made. Make sure that you're on Erase tab, name the hard drive whatever you want (no space, or else you will boot with DVD). Choose Mac OS Extended Journal under Volume Format: drop-down menu. 3. Before you install it, click on Customize. 4. Select... Patch -Intel ICHx SATA Drivers -NVinject 0.2.1 256Mb (use it as temporary) -Intel PROSet/Wireless 4965 (still not working) -PCGenUSBEHCI -AppleAPCIBatteryManager -Dual Boot Time Sync (use it if you dual boot) -UUID Error Fix -PS/2 Keyboard Fix -Patch DSDT Application -Kext Helper -OSX86Tools -Pacifist and choose others you want. 5. Install it and restart the laptop. 6. Installing the patches and drivers. Download (use Kext Helper if you want to install kext) 7. Done! Your laptop (S96S) should run perfectly. Thanks to Josephien for helping me. Known Issue -Intel 4965agn is still unstable and under development. Be patient, or buy different wireless adapter. -No driver/s for Syntek Webcam -Fn keys are unavailable except for brightness key (F4 and F5) -Hotkeys (like internet, email, and other shortcuts) -Power Buttons -Other than SD Card are not working That will be nice if you help me to fix those issue.
