Hackintosh Atom Fix In The Works
Fear not hackintosh faithful; according to Gizmodo, the hacker who is the driving force behind netbook hackintosh builds says that the kernel will be fixed for the Atom processors. “It’ll just take a few weeks.” If you might have slipped with your netbook and upgraded to 10.6.2, you can still downgrade your kernel to get [...]
Woops: 10.6.2 Doesn’t Kill Atom Support
Woops, looks like 10.6.2 won’t kill support for the Atom chip after all. All you netbook hackintosh users can now breath a sigh of relief. We reported a few days ago that the latest developer build of Leopard had support for the Atom chipset removed. None of the Apple hardware uses the Atom chip so [...]
10.6.2 Kills Off Atom CPU Support
Looks like Apple is taking another step to put a nail in the coffin of the hackintosh community. Looks like the developer build of Mac OS 10.6.2 lacks support for Intel’s Atom processor which every netbook around uses and is very popular in the hackintosh community. If this is a conscious move on Apple’s part [...]
Rebel EFI: A Thorn In Apples Side
You guys remember Psystar, don’t you? Psystar was the company that openly sold hackintosh systems, complete with a beige box PC and OS X pre installed. Well looks like they have dealt another painful blow to the kids in Cupertino. Rebel EFI is Psystar’s latest attempt at sending Steve Jobs off of the deep end. [...]
Dell Inspiron Mini 9 Running OS X
The UMPCs are become hot little machines to turn into hackintoshes. The latest victim is the Dell Inspiron Mini 9. Loaded with a slipstreamed version of OSX (in a similar manner as the MSI Wind). To top it all off, the ethernet, wireless, and sound work. If you have a Mini 9 and want to [...]
OS X On A MSI Wind
Seems that install Linux on computers is so yesterday. Now everyone wants to put OS X on their machine (I still run Linux on my MacBook Pro, go figure). The latest computer to fall into the hackintosh realm is the MSI Wind. A crafty hacker on this forum has laid out everything you need to [...]
OS X Mod-Chip EFi-X Spotted In The Wild
Looks like the EFiX USB dongle that is suppose to relive all of the hackintosh headaches isn’t living up to expectations. The EFiX is designed to let you install and run OS X unmodified on x86 hardware, not any hardware, but the hardware that EFiX claims is compatible. You should even be able to run [...]
Hackintosh OS X, No Hacking Needed
When Steve Jobs first announced that Apple would be moving to the Intel platform it really didn’t take very long before hackers slapped together a working copy of OS X running on a plain old vanilla box PC. Let’s leap to today. With most of the hackintosh community working out all the kinks and bugs [...]
Leopard On The EEEPC
I have written a lot about the Asus EEEPC. We even covered that crazy dude who put every possible hardware mod into the thing. I’ve had various flavours of Linux running, Windows, and yes ever Leopard (with a little hackintosh love). When I decided to give Leopard a whirl on my tiny machine I followed [...]
