Hackintosh on my Acer 1410 (11.6" Laptop)

[ralphbert]

I solved the problem by using the iBoot boot disc.
My system works perfectly now, thank you biotek008 for the great guide!

A few things to improve:
Does anybody know how to enable sleeping when closing the lid?
The system fan is always running at full speed. Is there a solution for that?

Hi, Lucas -- I have the solution to your problem. Go to System Preferences, select VoodooHDA panel at the bottom, then slect 4. Microphone (pink rear) and turn down the input gain. That should take care of the hiss, though I'm not sure if it remembers the setting or you'll have to do it every time you boot up.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone!

I am looking forward to test this guide on my Aspire 1410, in order to do iOS development

Three questions:

1. Is it not possible to do an install without first having access to a Mac?

2. What are your experiences on HDMI output? Is it possible with full HD?

3. My Aspire is bundled with the Atheros AR5B93 Wireless PCI-E card. Is this supported?

Thanks a bunch!

Yeah, I have the same problem with VoodooHDA on a different machine. The mic acts as a live input for the speakers and the settings don't save upon reboot 100% of the time. I wonder if it can be hardcoded somehow - I haven't used VoodooHDA enough to be completely familiar with how it works.

Did you ever figured out how to get iMovie11 working or QE/CI fixed?

I am on 10.6.6, everything working (including 2 finger scroll-super smooth); except wake from sleep.

Thanks

I am using VoodooHDA on 10.6.7 and it works perfectly, (using ATAPI instead of Pink Left in Sound Preferences).

Have you been able to get sleep to work? How?

I don't know of any fix for QE/CI but I have iMovie working (mind you is iMovie HD 6) but it works great.

What a great info! After a few trials and errors, I decided to post a practical guide to help you to install SLOSX on AS1410. And the credits go to edubrandl and naksnacks.

Installation of SLOSX To An External USB Hard Drive on AS1410​

What you need to have in hand:
1. Purchase retail OSX DVD from Apple.
2. Download Multibeast from “http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/iboot-multibeast-install-mac-os-x-on.html”.
3. Download VoodooHDA.kext from “http://code.google.com/p/voodoohda/d...ooHDA.kext.zip”.
4. Download PowerManager from “http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...=post&id=36993”.
5. Download AtherosL1cEthernet.kext from “http://code.google.com/p/iats/”.
6. Download GMA 4500 package from “http://www.kexts.com/view/258-gmax4500.html”.
7. USB-mouse and USB-keyboard.
Hardware components:
AS1410-8414
BIOS ver. 1.3310
4GB ram
External 160GB USB HD
SU3500 CPU
Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit NIC
Dell 1510 WLAN (replace original Intel5100 WLAN)
Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset family
WebCam

Installation of OSX 10.6.0
(A) On a MAC or Hackintosh computer:
1. Use a working MAC computer to prepare a USB drive of “SLOSX Installer” from retail SLOSX DVD
a. Plug USB drive into one of USB port. Partition it with GUID and formatted as MAC journaled.
b. Install “SLOSX Installer” to this USB drive by selecting “restore” under Disk Utility. Use retail OSX DVD as the source and USB drive as the target. When restoration is completed, start “Multibeast” and only select “Easybeast” to install boot loader onto this USB drive. At the meantime, also copy “Multibeast” to the USB drive.
(B) On AS1410:
Since there are 3 USB ports present in AS1410, only one will be available for either USB-mouse or USB-keyboard when OSX Installer and external USB-HD are both plugged in at the same time. However, you can swap mouse and keyboard back and forth during the initial installation process.

2. Boot computer from the USB drive which you just prepared as above by pressing “F12” during booting and select USB drive to start. Also have your external HD and USB-mouse connected to USB ports at the boot.
3. Use “Disk Utilities” to partition external HD as GUID and format it as MAC journal format. Select it to install OSX until the end.
4. Reboot computer with USB and external HD drives plugged in. Press any key and select the external hard disk which you just installed OSX to start the system instead from USB drive. Continue to finish installation. At this time, you can swap mouse and keyboard back and forth during this installation process.
5. Run Multibeasts again and select following items to install to “external HD”:
a) Easybeast: to install boot loader
b) System Utilities
c) “Voodoo PS/2 Controller with Trackpad Support” under “Advanced Options-> Kexts-> Miscellaneous->”
6. Reboot computer when finish installation. Remove USB drive and restart it from your external HD.
7. Run kext utility such as “Kext Helper b7” to install following extensions:
AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext: to show battery indicator
VoodooHDA.kext: for audio
AtherosL1cEthernet.kext: for internal AR8131 Gigabit Ethernet controller.
8. Go to “/System/Library/Extensions/” and delete the following extensions:
AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext
AppleIntelGMAX3100GA.plugin AppleIntelGMAX3100GLDriver.bundle
AppleIntelGMAX3100VADriver.bundle
9. Continue to install “GMAX4500.pkg” which you downloaded earlier prior to restarting your computer. Once GMAX4500.pkg installation is completed, restart your computer.
10. By this time, you should have a full working AS1410 with SLOSX 10.6.0
11. Download 10.6.5 combo update from APPLE and install it to your SLOSX10.6.0 as usual. Reboot.
12. Your system will return to 1024x768 resolutions. Just repeat step (8) and (9) and system will return to its native resolution.
13. Two additional adjustments:
a) You can apply “Multibeast” again and go “Advanced Options-> symbios.plist->” to select proper CPU for your system. And DO NOT FORGET to also select “System Utilities” every time when items from “Advance Options” are selected.
b) Check “Clicking”, but not “Dragging” under “System Preferences-> Trackpad” so that trackpad will function normally.

Note:
By this method to install OSX on an external HD, it will continue to allow you to run Windows 7 on the internal HD without any interference at all. Just plug in your external HD to run OSX whenever you need it. Hope this direction will help.

Hi, could you help me in how to start the AtherosL1cEthernet.kext: for internal AR8131 Gigabit Ethernet controller i can't make it to work.
Than you

i got scared of this a while back and never tried, however i have been using some software at a friends that runs best on osx, so I am going to give it a shot...

i think i will be trying this method
http://www.hackint0sh.org/f213/126062.htm

however, i have one question about QE/CL... I do not know much about OSX at all, but what applications will not work for me if this is disabled? How can I find out if the software I want to use will work, and if this is even worth my time?
what about apps from the mac app store? will there be a lot of them that don't work for me?

thanks

I would like to try Lion on my 1410 Aspire, have anyone install it yet?

 

[lucas1954]

I'm very happy with this
