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...
