**UPDATED on 1/24/08 to note the minimum version of the wi-fi enabler**

**UPDATED on 1/28/08 to add info about Bluetooth and sleep**

Install OS X on Lenovo S10

Please post in the Mac OS section of s10lenovo.com if you have questions/issues

(Note: Kexts should be installed using the kexthelper application)

(Note2: Some people have reported a failure for some kexts to install properly, and the
fix is to manually clear the caches. Also be sure to reboot between kext installs. I very
strongly recommend using the manual clearing method at the bottom of this file, and
rebooting each time you install a kext or group of them.)

(Note3: If you have an internal Bluetooth module, it will prevent the machine from
sleeping if it is on. To disable, before booting to an OS, press the wireless selection
button until the wireless light is blue. It may take many button presses.)

Install from Wind DVD with no changes in options/settings (MSIWindosx86.iso)

Fix MBR if needed (this is usually NOT needed):

fdisk -u /dev/rdisk0
(also maybe: fdisk -e /dev/rdisk0)

To bypass setup/migration loop, boot into single user mode (boot option, -s).
/sbin/fsck –fy
/sbin/mount –uw /
cd /Volumes/<YourHDname>/var/db/
touch .AppleSetupDone

Set root password:

passwd

Reboot and log in as root, create personal account.

Install the wi-fi enabler, reboot, log in as user, apply updates to 10.5.6.

Wi-fi enabler:
"bcm43xx_enabler 2.sh" (Earlier versions do not work with 10.5.6!)

After your apply the 10.5.6 update and reboot, you will lose KB and mouse. There are
two solutions to this; either plug in external devices, or apply these kexts *before*
rebooting after loading the update:
Both kexts from WindPS2Files.zip --
http://web.me.com/andrew.schultz/WindPS2Files.zip
Reboot

Install the three Intel GMA950 video kexts from 0x27ae.zip --

http://darwin950.googlecode.com/files/0x27ae.zip

Clear caches, reboot

AppleACPIPlatform.kext from "AppleACPIPlatform.kext for 10.5.6.zip"

The correct file is 772kb/700,661 bytes, 55 items dated 10/9/07
This fixes the fans and speedstep

Clear caches, reboot

VoodooPower.kext -- http://www.superhai.com/files/leopard/r ... r.kext.zip

Power GUI if desired -- http://www.superhai.com/files/leopard/r ... ontrol.zip

Clear caches, reboot

EHCISleepEnabler.kext -- http://superhai.com/files/leopard/relea ... r.kext.zip

ClamShellDisplay -- http://superhai.com/files/leopard/relea ... y.kext.zip

Clear caches, reboot

Now test whether your system goes into sleep when you close the lid and wakes when
you open it. If it does NOT, then open the Info.plist file in:
/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEHCI.kext/Contents/
Look for:
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>3.1.5</string> (This number varies, mine is 3.2.5)
And add this below it, then save and reboot:
<key>OSBundleCompatibleVersion</key>
<string>1.0</string>

Delete the AppleHDA.kext from /extensions

Reboot
Install AzaliaAudio.pkg -- http://www.mediafire.com/?enez1guzz1g
Reboot
Install CHUD tools -- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mzjlkm4idyb
Reboot

Audieee_1.0.1.zip -- http://www.s10lenovo.com/download/file.php?id=65
Put the file in /Applications/Utilities and run it. Audio works now; use menubar icon to
toggle (default is off). Add the Audieee application to your startup items.

To enable the trackpad prefpane:

10.5.6 Synaptics Trackpad Enabler.zip -- http://www.megaupload.com/ru/?
d=7WAN7BMH

IF KEXTS DON'T SEEM TO WORK, TRY THIS

To manually clear extension caches, as root:
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
rm -r /System/Libraray/Caches/*
touch /System/Library/Extensions

Thanks for the Installation hints. Joined: Sat Jan 10, 2009
You forgot to mention, that: 3:43 pm

1. You need Kext Helper B7 to install the *.kext files

2. To activate Sleep Mode you will also need the File ACPIBattery.kext from superhai
Please add this two files into your download package and everyone will be happy

Could you tell us if your guide works with those of us who have installed internal S10 3:08 am

BT radios?
To be honest, I tried everything out there for weeks now, and I still can't get sleep
working.

Color and Model: Red S10
BT radios? OS(s) installed: Mac OS X
10.5.6

I don't have an internal BT module, so I don't know the answer on that. Is it possible to
buy/add that? I do wish I had it. I'm using a MacSense USB BT module, and it does work
just fine, and you can sleep with it on and active.

To be honest, I tried everything out there for weeks now, and I still can't get sleep
working.

It could be that your installation is just munged up now. Might be time to do a clean
install (erase partition) and try again. Unless there are hardware variations in the S10, I
would expect this to work just like it does on mine. I was very careful to document
every step in the same order I did it; the order can be important, as it is with some
other drivers.

1. Can you tell me, why I should clear the extension cache manually
2. The Trackpad Prefpane App does not work
3. Sleep Mode does not work

1. Normally not needed. If you load a kext and it seems to not work at all, try manually
clearing and reboot.
2. Did the trackpad enabler install without errors.
3. Double-check the changes to the plist file just after loading the clamshell and ehci
kexts.

so according the instruction i should install os update

should i just jump to 10.5.6 update?

and install all 6 following updates?

so i don't need to go 10.5.5 first > 10.5.6?

I took, all updates offered by the automatic software update. No need to go step by
step.
