Snow Leopard on Eee PC 1005HAG

[CDuv]

Hello,

 

I've been trying for about 2 weeks to install Snow Leopard on my netbook, a Asus Eee PC 1005HAG, which specifications are:

• Intel Atom N270 1.60GHz
  
• Chipset: Mobile Intel 945GSE Express, ICH7-M AHCI,
  
• HDD: 160GB SATA Hitachi
  
• RAM: 1GB DDR2 PC2-5300
  
• Display: Intel GMA 950 on 1024x600 (WSVGA)
  
• No Optical drive
  
• Network: Atheros AR8132 (Ethernet Gigabit), Atheros AR9285 (Wireless 802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1
  

 

I've tried to follow the MacEee guide but for an unknown reason Snow Leopard won't install to internal SATA HDD: takes age to fail.

Installer log says something like:

no or invalid system receipts found on /Volumes/...

 

Error writing cache to/volumes/Mac OS/Library/Caches/com.apple.FindSystemFiles.plist

Failed to enumerate /Volumes/Mac OS/Library/Caches cannot prune......

 

I've managed to install SL wih and on an external USB disk drive: 2 partitions, one for the SL DVD Retail dump and another to install.

 

Seems stable but not totally.

Even from there, sometimes, Finder and Disk Utility doesn't find my internal drive...

 

Note: I have a available original Mac with Leopard install to help in achieving that SL installation.

 

Thanks for you help

I tried another tutorial, way more generic: Installing Snow Leopard for OSX86 from Prasys’ Blog.

But I can't even start the SL installer: I have a panic because of

"Unsupported CPU: family: 0x6, model = 0xf, stepping = 0xb"@/SourceCache/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement-90/pmProcessor.c21 AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementt

(It may not be the CPU family and stepping, I've forgot to write it down so I copy/pasted some found with Google. But the error is this one, not a "time out" issue).

 

It's weird because I thought that PC_EFI's goal was to help avoiding these base compatibility issues.

Take NBI (netbookinstaller), it resolves the problems with Atom CPU.
