Ok, after epic battle with this arctic cat I managed to install 10.6.4 on my Samsung N210.

Mostly everything work:
* WiFi (Really!)
* Webcam
* SD Card Reader
* Ethernet
* Sound (both speakers and headphones - no need to change anything)
* Everything else that is not mentioned below

What doesn't work:
* QE/CE - No graphics acceleration
* Speedstep
* Brightness
* Some of function keys
* Sleep

What you will need:
* Netbook Installer 0.8.4 RC1
* NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
* VoodooHDA.kext
* Atheros.Fix.kext

Usefull boot parameters (belive me, you will NEED them at some points)
arch=i386 (after 10.6.2 update)
DSDT=/null.aml (to override default dsdt which doesn' work at all)

Remember to delete dsdt.aml after every update and most important thing:
DON'T UPDATE PAST 10.6.1 WITHOUT NullCPU!

Good luck, and have fun.

Feel free to ask me for help

I have a question, I am running Mac OS X 10.6.3 using iAtkos S3 v2 on my n210. What is your resolution? I am stuck at 800 X 600 and I know that there is basically no support for the GMA 3150.

1024x600 - drivers for the gfx are in the netbook-installer package. Resolution works but no QE/CI

So you actually got the resolution working, great! I tried using Meklort's NBI and it caused a kernal panic. Do you think it's because I have 10.6.3 instead of 10.6.4 like you? How did you set up NBI?

I installed it with default options, and then deleted the DSDT.aml file from extra, and installed NullCPUPM.kext with KextHelper, and then started the kernel with -f boot flag

Btw, I.m 10.6.7 now

Thanks and which version of NBI did you use?

I had much more luck with 0.8.4 Everything is in the first post.

[sjobsfan]

Oh right, thanks for your help! I'll try using NBI soon.

i used netinstaller as well
same grafic different samsung GMA3150 and I also have 800 x 600 I thought this issue had not been resolved as the nearest thing was the 950  but 3150 seems to be a cut down from that and therin lay the problem.

Please tell me if I'm wrong
