bebemunchies Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Hey! I decided to start up a thread for all news relating to the Lenovo s10. Some people began receiving the first shipments, so we can finally give OSx86 a run on these netbooks! So what's the latest news? - No bluetooth! At least not with the first shipments sent out. (Hopefully we can expect a bluetooth option at a later time) - There IS a 512mb ram soldered into the board. The s10 CAN accept up to 2gb ram. It just disables the onboard card. (NICE) In terms of installing osx... One person posted results using the windosx86 install (used for the MSI Wind). He reported a non-working wifi card, lan and sound. As expected, the 950 gma works. I assume it is because of a lack of compatible kexts. The person used the wind installation which was custom made for the msi wind. When more experienced osx86 users finally get their lenovo s10s, maybe we can get a better idea of what is working and what is not. When I know what is working, I plan to make a custom installation! (Similar to the windosx86 distro). So, if you have a lenovo s10, please post your results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeblough Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 there's a post at www.s10lenovo.com that says the s10 has the following troublesome hardware: sound: ALC269 wlan: BCM4312 lan: BCM5906 searching around here, it would seem that there's no driver for the ALC269. but then again one person on s10lenovo.com said that he installed the msiwind OSX and audio works, so who knows. wlan seems like it can be fixed by following the instructions here: http://www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/ind...hp/t120144.html. this involves flashing the wlan chip to give it a device id/vendor id that OSX likes. finally it looks like the BCM5906 is a lost cause until someone ports the linux driver to OSX.

polyethyleneguy Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'm a newbie at this osx86 stuff, but I just got my s10 in today and tried using the msiWindOsx86 instal disc and everything seems to go smoothly until it restarts and goes to the section that says "Do you already have a mac" and I tell it to skip the transfer. It freezes for a little then goes back to the intro video for Leopard. I need help. I unchecked the kernal box too. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
