Hackintosh - Dell Mini 9

Sep 19, 2011 01:49

50+ hours later I finally fixed all the problems on the dumb netbook.

In case I ever need to redo from scratch:

1) Create bootable usb using syslinux -ma driveletter:
2) Copy contents of dellminiboot123v8.01.iso into above usb drive, do not override when prompted.
3) Use transmac to create usb installation for snow leopard (10.6)
4) Boot using bootable usb with usb installation plugged in, if everything works, should be able to access installation options.
5) Reboot after installation and run netbookinstaller 20100616212351.
6) Reboot and run software updater to bring to 10.6.8, reboot for auto NBI, reboot again
7) To fix the reboot loop, dl nawcom's legacy kernel, boot into recovery and run the following commands:
sudo mv /legacy_kernel-10.6.8 /mach_kernel
sudo chown root:wheel /mach_kernel
8) Alternate running NBI 0.8.5pre and 2010616212351 to fix mic
9) Sleep fixed after disabling hibernation (Unsure if SleepEnabler.kext is needed as per other users)
10) Sleep wake fixed after disabling USB Legacy in BIOS
11) Bluetooth must be turned ON before doing all the shit above or otherwise use linux bootable usb to turn on bluetooth and reopen a can of worms.
12) Kext Helper + SleepEnabler.kext + ALC268.kext + AppleHDA.kext (optional unless sleep/audio/mic not working)
13) Disabling Secure VM seems to allow me to get the hibernation toggle to work on NBI
14) Fix Bluetooth option in NBI doesn't do shit?
15) RemoteCD in NBI does not toggle? (not that I use it anyways, so I cbf to figure this one out)

**Everything is working including bluetooth, did not bother to fix the greyed out option to turn off bluetooth as I hardly use it anyways.
**In case of NBI reporting unsupported device, grab model id from sysctl -a | grep model and replace inspiron 910 string in NBI.
