Acer Aspire One dual booting Windows 7 and OSx86 iAtkos v7

http://bit.ly/YR09f


Use iAtkos v7 10.5.7 DVD (where you find this is up to you.)

-Boot iAtkos v7 DVD
-Prep your hard disk with Disk Utilitiy, I used GUID partition table, 1 partition.
-Select the following items from "Customize" after running disk utility and selecting your disk to install OSX to.

+ (Expand section)
* (Select item)

*iatkos v7 Main System (Installed By Default)
+Bootloader
*Chameleon v2 (Installed By Default)
+X86 Patches
+Decrypters (Unselect AppleDecypt)
*Dsmos (Select)
+Kernel
*9.50.0 KernelVoodoo (Select)
+ACPI
*x86 ACPI (Select)
+Drivers
+Video
*Intel GMA950
+Sound
*Voodoo HDA driver (Installed By Default)
+System
+PS/2 Mouse Keyboard (Only Select One)
*Apple Ps/2 Driver (Select)
+Sytem
*Laptop Battery (Select)
+Network
(Skip Wired for now) (Not Applicable to Acer Aspire One D150)
+Wireless
*Broadcom BCM43xx (Choose this only if you have the Dell replacement card Dw1490,Dw1390,Dw1395) (Select)
*Post_Install Actions (Installed By Default)

To do after you reboot:

-Enable trackpad prefs, touch-to-click ? copy keyboard.Prefpane to /System/Library/PreferencePanes to enable double tapping on the trackpad. Set it up in System Preferences and Keyboard/Mouse.

(I attempted using the Voodoo touchpad driver but it causes erratic mouse/kb behavior, if you know how to get 2-finger scrolling working on this netbook please let me know!)

-Wired LAN ? Use kext Helper or OSX86Tools to install AttansicL1eEthernet. Setup your LAN via Network Preferences. Connect to your network.

-Update via software update. Avoid AirPort, EFI and Kernel/System updates. These updates I generally look here for first rather than from Apple. Other updates like iTunes, iLife, Java, etc. should work fine.

Reboot once more and you're done.

Useful forum post: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/f200/70873.htm (kext files referenced are found here)

Wifi, Lan, Photobooth, iChat. Quartz, USB all work great, sleep not working yet but I think I can use hibernationmode=0 to at least get hibernation working. Otherwise, seems stable. If anyone knows of a working sleep fix for the Aspire One D150 let me know.

I now have a Leopard 10.5.7 install on a very portable machine. Great for an iPhone sync companion. Loving this little machine so far! No kernel panics yet!

Good luck!

Thats Not Windows 7!!!! The Boot screen at Windows7 is different! Thats Vista!

[Higgiefresh]

Wow, silly comment. Win7 does not have the animated windows logo splash screen on netbooks because of the limited graphics cards. look at the Win7 taskbar, look at the libraries in windows explorer. Read up clemib.

[wellsmark14]

@Higgiefresh there is no way of windows 7 itself knowings on a netbook so it limits its graphics capabilitys, and it does have a animated splash screen, u probably have a diff version or something

[Higgiefresh]

@wellsmark14 No it doesn't but it does know the resolution is too low for the splash screen. I installed the same version on a desktop and got the full splash screen.

Guy why would you put 7 Ultimate VER On ur netbook. lol.

ULTIMATE ON A NETBOOK.

Lol Just use the Starter edition that netbooks now have :P

[Higgiefresh]

Is this dude serious? Do you not know that this is the FREE Windows 7 RC? This install was completed 2 whole months before the commercial versions of Win7 became available? This has to be a joke!

[vetacoth]

@lelos14 when you press the power button, right away keep pressing shift rapidly until a screen pops up that has windows and Mac then using the arrow keys, pick which one you want.
