skione Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I got an OSX install going with 10.5.6 updated to 10.5.8 on my D150 and its working for the most part. I am booting with cpus=1 Wireless doesn't work at all although the driver is recognized but I am unable to connection to any networks. This is not critical as wired does work and I might end up getting the Dell mini PCI that I read will work easy. Video says its at 800x600 and I would like to get that up to 1024x768. Audio is somewhat working with voodoohda 2.6.1 but sound is very choppy, this is actually the biggest of my three. I have been in IT for years but a windows guy followed closely by linux. However I am somewhat new to the Mac hacking working. So a lot of this is somewhat overwhelming. I am pretty sure many of these are solvable but I have exhausted my google semantics and could really use some help. Thanks in advance!

ginger187 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Just wondering if you got your wireless going? I've got everything working bar wireless & lan on my Acer D150.

skione Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Yes I was able to get wireless to work but it was flakey, wired was more successful. However I never got sound working right, it kept being distorted. I ended up wiping and putting ubuntu on it (with a solid state drive) and bought a Mac Book Pro. I figured since I was going to be using it for dev I should have a real machine. I wish I could remember what I used as I went through several flavors of hackintosh, eventually I got the latest version of one particular version. I think it might of been: 10.5.6 Leo xXx or some such. In the end Ubuntu runs way better on this machine. Apparently hackintosh support for the d150 is not very good. Dell and HP have netbooks that are a little more cooperative. At least I could say I did it for the most part.

ginger187 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'm almost there, have sound working, lan working, just about to update to 10.6.3combo to get the wireless working. I've used a netbookinstaller with retail copy of 10.6, after first install everything was working apart from sound, lan and wireless. I sorted out the sound and lan. Just out of interest is there anyway of saving a install with current kext's because I really don't want to install everything again??? eg when a kext I install does't work and KP's etc, is there anyway to revert back before install the kext?

skione Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 I am still kind of new to OSX but I believe you can make a recovery image with the OS. Or you could use something like ghost to make a disk image so in the invent you needed to flatten you could recover.

Dellmantt Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Ghost is Windows software. OS X has a program called time machine for back ups. You can also backup using Disk Utility. For a Hack (remember it is not a real Mac) I prefer "Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)" you need an spare drive or partition. 1 Format D/P to mac os extended 2 Clone with CCC 3 If it is a separate drive, install Chameleon to make it bootable (Handy if you hose the boot loader on the original drive) You can also remove kexts that are causing trouble by booting to Single user mode. http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&...0l0l260l260l2-1 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/250999-acer-aspire-one-d150-almost-done/#findComment-1692025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
