4. MACOSX upgrade pack

I don't think there are any specials kexts you need, but maybe a combination of how you install and what kexts you use while installing in a sequence. These are the same set of data I used to get my HP Mini 1000 1030NR working from top to bottom. I noticed someone on here got to the transfer screen where it looped them back to the beginning. There are two ways you can get out of that loop. One is the obvious and use the terminal and enter a series of commands to bypass that or Two, you can use the easy way out and install two patches when customizing the install using iDeneb. These two patches would be the Broadcom patch and Tiger patch under the networking folder. This will get you passed the loop without entering command lines in the terminal. Once you get through that part, it's a piece of cake in terms of getting it up and running. Of course, as of right now, those are the three items that don't work (Time Machine, built in wireless/bluetooth components). When I have more time, i will add the procedures I went through to install it on the NB205.

**NOTE** This guide should also work well for Retail DVD install. Only thing that changes is a manual install of Chameleon.**

Big thanks to wingzero619 for making his guide on installing iDeneb 1.3 - without him, this would not be possible. Also thanks goes to everyone involved in creating BOOT132 & the iDeneb install method, as well as anyone responsible for the links at the end of this guide.

What you need:
1- NB205-SlimBuild-Preboot.iso http://www.mediafire.com/file/t2omkt...ld-Preboot.iso
2- Blank CD
3- iDeneb v1.5 on DVD
4- Toshiba NB205 (mine is a NB205-N310/BN)
5- If you want Wifi, you have to replace the mini pci card

Begin:
-------
Ensure you are plugged in for power.

0) BIOS Settings
----------------
Disable USB Sleep & Charge
Set SATA Controller to Compatibility mode
Turn on Legacy USB

1) Booting to iDeneb 1.5
-------------------------
Burn NB205-SlimBuild-Preboot.iso to CD
Insert CD into USB CD/DVD Drive connected to NB205
Press F12 to select boot to CD, press enter
Wait for Init.img to load
Press F8
Press Esc
Switch CD out with iDeneb 1.5 DVD
Press enter (or type 9f then press enter)
Press F8
Type "-v -f" and press enter
Watch and wait (or grab some coffee!)

2) iDeneb 1.5 Setup (in all 1024x600x32 Glory!)
------------------------------------------------
Once setup is up and running, launch a Terminal Window and type the following:
Close Terminal
Open Disk Utility
Clik on your Hard Drive then click the Partition tab
Partition the Hard Drive with one partition and make it use GUID (under Options)
Name the partition.
Mine looks like this:
Apply the Partition
Close Disk Utility and continue with setup
Select your new Mac OS Partition and click Continue
Click Customize
Set the following Customizations:
Since Chameleon is a default setting, we do not have to select a bootloader. Technically, you don't have to select the Vanilla kernel either.

Click Install
OPTIONAL: Click Skip (to cancel verification of install media)
Wait for the installer to finish.
Click Restart

3) Booting up to OSX
--------------------
Boot up like normal from the hard drive. You should see the Chameleon 2.0 Bootloader screen and the computer should boot up fine to the fresh install. Now it's time to install the remaining Kexts to Chameleon to gain full functionality.

For this, we will need to go into the Terminal

Make sure the Boot CD is on the Drive before doing this.

Type:
Reboot!
Make sure you boot from the hard drive. If everything went ok, you should load into OSX without issues.

You can also go back into the BIOS and Turn Off Legacy USB

WORKS:
--------
Video Works
Dual Monitors Works
WebCam works, but not in Photo Booth (ok in iChat and Webclient of Gmail)
Ethernet Works
Audio Works, headphone automatic sensing does not. To switch between the built-in speakers & headphones, use the Settings in OSX to select the output device.
Microphone works.
TimeMachine Works.
Touchpad Works.
Sleep works. (As long as you made the BIOS settings changes for Legacy USB and Sleep & Charge)
All USB Ports work.
SD Card reader works.
Battery meter works.

DOESN'T WORK:
-------------
Wifi does not work because the NB205's Atheros AR9285 chip is not yet compatible with OSX.
Bluetooth does not work.

(thanks by the way) but when i boot up using the boot-132 method the track pad doesnt work at all. i looked at the suplied kext but didnt see any trackpad kext. which just got me wondering which track pad kext do i need? and what kext did you use to install a full retail install.

i still have a problem with sleep. even after i disabled legacy and sleep and charge. i could put it to sleep fine but when i resume the pointer goes crazy. oh well i can live with out a full functioning sleep.

and also about this mac still reboots the system. i think i read somewhere that it is a problem with smbios.kext. but i am not sure which one to use. does any one out there know which one i should install before i try every single one out there. it would be much appreciated.

I installed iDeneb from USB (which I prepared using MacOS in vmware, yeah, a bit contrived).
After successfull installation, grub was overwritten and the system booted directly into the first partition, XP. I started ubuntu from a stick to re-install grub in the MBR. I could not figure out how to start mac from grub, so instead I added it to the XP boot.ini as C:\chain0="Mac Os" and copied
chain0 to the windows partition.
Now if I want to select mac, I first have to select XP in grub, and then mac in the XP boot. Not elegant but working.
