massive ssd slowdown on leopard

[Thico Alves]

Hi folks!

 

I'm a MacOS enthusiast since 2006, running macos on real macs and hackintoshes. Now I bought a Acer Aspire One A110 (a.k.a. Mac nanoBook) and installed leopard on it's small 8GB ssd hard drive.

Well, it runs pretty fast, and I have all drivers installed. But I noticed sometimes a big slowdown on ssd drive. Randomly the system freezes and the ssd light turns on (meaning it's reading or writing something). After a few seconds the system returns normal.

It's starting to be frequent and it's really anoying. Does anybody now if it's normal? Or if there is a way to solve this?

ahh... and there are a few more things:

 

1) I also noticed that every time I try to mount a downloaded .DMG file it causes a kernel panic (I found some solution here about changing the Seatbelt.kext and I'm testing it right now to see if it will work)

 

2) Trackpad is not working properly. The tracking speed is too fast and button click only works on the hardware button. It can't detect my taps on the touchpad. I looked for some solution but none worked. I tried installing the VoodooPS2Controller.kext but gave me a non working mouse and keyboard.

 

3) Internal wireless doesn't work. I'm using an external USB wireless now. There is a way to put internal wireless to work? I heard about changing the internal card for a different model, but I don't know exactly which model is compatible.

 

Okay, I think that's it. Thank you all guys!

 

...and "there is one more thing" I forgot

 

Internal ethernet works great, except that the cable must be connected before startup. I'm using the RealtekR1000.kext driver. Is there another (better) solution?
