Eee PC 900A OS X

Booting and toying around with some basic functions in OS X on an Eee PC 900A (1.6ghz Atom, 2gb RAM, RunCore 16gb SSD through USB, and Dell 1390 wifi card), everything except for function keys and ethernet work (including sleep, powermanagement, speedstep, wifi, Quartz, etc). The graphics and animations look great, flash videos work well, and everything seems quite snappy for a low-power machine.

My only problem is that when I try to boot from the SSD internally (rather than through USB) it won't work, I get the gray Apple logo with a no sign on it for eternity. If anyone knows a fix for that, I'd love to hear about it.

Sorry for the bad camera work, one handed with a pocket-sized camera can get a bit shaky when you're not concentrating.

What tutorials did you use?

I installed iPC 10.5.6 on EeePC 900 (Celeron CPU) with voodoo kernel and it works OK except Wifi, Ethernet and Sound. I used a cheepie USB wifi dongle based on Relatek RTL8187 chip. The driver is Realtek_RTL8187B_MacOS10.5_Dri­ver1148_UI157 and I have wireless. I found drivers (kexts) on the internet for sound (VoodooHDA_by_Thireus) and Ethernet (AttansicL2Ethernet.kext) and now I have a 200 euros HacBook.

How did you get the graphics driver to work?

@davidewolf2 Buy compatible Wifi card & replace it. Disable wired network in BIOS.

Hey dude,
