Mac OSX 10.5.8 to Lenovo S12

It is not hard to install MacOS to intel-based laptop. All you would need is:

1. External DVD-ROM
2. External USB keyboard and mouse (if you don't want update MacOS up to 10.5.8 you may not need it)
3. DVD with MacOSX86 - i used MSIWindosx86.iso (Google and download it)
4. Other programs that listed at the After installation troubleshooting

I have Lenvo S12 laptop with Intel GMA950 on it. So this tutorial works for this laptop and may would not be working for other.

What works
- internal speakers
- headphones out
- wi-fi
- bluetooth
- power management
- display - 1280x800
- keyboard, trackpad
- USB ports

Does not work:
- sleep mode
- web camera

Process of installation:

1. Burn your MSIWindOSX86.iso to DVD-R. I recommend to write on 4x or below speed.

2. Restart your laptop and hit Fn+F11. Choose external DVD-ROM and start installation. In installation menu you probably should use Disk Utility to prepare your hard drive for installation.

3. Wait until installation ends. Restart and enter your account information just like you would with a regular OSX install.

After installation troubleshooting:

1. Broadcom Wi-Fi cart needs setup. Here is script that can fix this problem - http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=51725, look for bcm43xx_enabler_0.5.3.sh.zip. Copy script file to your Desktop. Open Terminal and run

sudo ./Desktop/bcm43xx_enabler.sh.

2. Update your MacOS to 10.5.8. You can get this update here . After rebooting your keyboard and mouse wouldn't work so use external.

3. Because of updating the wi-fi would not work and you need to run fixing script again.

4. Fixing keyboard and trackpad. Install CyberGreg's MSi OSX86 Upgrade Pack v1.5 from MSi_OSX86_Upgrade_Pack_v1.5.zip. Deselect 'audio' 'network' and 'trackpad'. You can download it here.

5. Fixing sound. I used VoodooHDA.kext.Here you can get it. Install VoodooHDA.kext using Kext Helper b7. Reboot and you will hear that your sound works now!


6. If you want Windows and MacOS running both on your laptop you need install Windows first and then - MacOS. After that, to make Windows working, simply install Chameleon 2.0 and you will be able to choose between two systems.
