happycar Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hey all! I have gone through and written up a guide for those with an EeePC wanting to run Tiger. I have put all the information at http://tigeroneeepc.wikispaces.com/ I used 10.4.9 Uphuck rev 1.3 for the install as I found it to be the best one to do the job! I have also put on some Post Install details on how to tweak it to run or at least feel a bit faster. Only thing that I am still having issues with is the FSB timings, It may need a new kernel. I have tried with many many many newer kernels, but to no avail. Anyway I hope my guide is of some use to someone. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a youtube-video with it in action? I'd like to get a feel for how usable this actually is. EDIT: Perhaps a RAMDISK for /var/log would be a good idea btw, to keep down write cycles to the ssd.

hinhale Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Great! I'm eager with anticipation. Btw, are you dual-booting you EEE or is Tiger usable enough to use as your primary OS? What about cpu scaling? Is speedstep and such working as intended? What kind of battery time could one expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happycar Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Great! I'm eager with anticipation. Btw, are you dual-booting you EEE or is Tiger usable enough to use as your primary OS? What about cpu scaling? Is speedstep and such working as intended? What kind of battery time could one expect? It's usable enough to do what I need to do day to day such as emails, iChat, iTunes. Speedstep kext installed OK, I haven't looked into that much though as I think I disabled CPU scaling in the BIOS! I'll have a look into that. the battery seems to from what I can gather, last around 2-3 hours. I haven't really timed it yet. That will all be happening in coming days though. I don't dual boot though, I go between my 12" PowerBook and the EeePC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happycar Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Just running a battery test now. iTunes is running playing a song on loop and WiFi is active. I'll report back once I can no longer hear the music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiFi was enabled and connected to a network. iTunes was playing between two songs on loop. LCD Brightness was quite high - Brighter than my 2 year old PowerBook at max brightness! In the BIOS (Version 8804) CPU power auto saving was disabled. Overall I am quite happy with this result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happycar Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Video is now up of the EeePC in action. Have fun kids! Any questions feel free to comment on YouTube, the Wiki or here! Glad to be of any assistance I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinhale Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hey, thanks for posting the video. Seems perfectly usable, but it's a real shame with the fsb timings. I'd have thought you'd get audio glitches and such in iTunes aswell with at skewed clock. Is that perhaps something you've experienced playing movies in say vlc or any other third-party app? Really cool nonetheless. much snappier than i would've thought. Now if i just could get my eeepc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le jeune bidouilleur Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 how did you make it fit in 4 Go? I want to do it the same with my EEE. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimbulb Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm not sure if anyone is still following this, but there's a discussion on the eeepc timings issue on the wiki: http://tigeroneeepc.wikispaces.com/message...Kernels/2871291 One of us seems close to a solution, but maybe some of the kernel types here could help shed light on the subject...

tenshi888 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Would anyone know if the eeepc 900 would make any difference to this project? I'm hoping to pick one up when it's released and having OS X on it would just make it the MacBook Mini that never was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le jeune bidouilleur Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I downloaded the xxxx 10.4.11 V2 for my asus, will it work? I will try to install it as soon I get my hands on a DVD usb burner. But if you have a solution to put the .iso file on an external usb drive and boot on it. Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggg45 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 interesting (shame I didn't buy one) I'm guessing the motheboard is the same in new 10 inch models? if so )) I might trade in my dell latittude for one of those. I'm guessing wifi is working out of the box but not internal headphone jack ??? and what about sleep/waking up ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebeepbeep Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I just bought one, JaS 10.4.8 install went without problems and it seems all pretty well. not working: - integrated wifi - audio out - audio in - FSB issue Tiger just thinks the eee has 280MhZ FSB which leads to the timing/graphic/stuttering issues. also the clock is reeeeally slow. wifi can be fixed with a cheap dell pci-e card, but i WANT the FSB issue solved. typical FSB=70 kernel flag doesnt work on that install, anyone else out there? we just need to get this little thing to do the right FSB, than its a SUPERB macbook nano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilusa Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi I was wondering if any of you would be able to help. I've been using this guide http://eeepc-osx.wikispaces.com/Tiger_Install to install OSX on my EEEPC 1000H My problem is I can't boot from a dvd. I have tried boot disks from other guides to and none seem to work. I'm using a usb dvd drive ATMT TSST corp CD/DVDW. I don't think the bios is picking it up. Any help would be great thanks.

demoniac Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Any possibilities of getting original Wifi to work? (Atheros AR5007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauliKs Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 No, it is very bad card for osx, it can work only with kismac, but no warranties, just go to shop and buy broadcom. Sorry for my english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
