I wound up getting my 1000HE going, but I had to use the Netbook Installer method, such as the one described here… http://www.meklort.com/ and I downloaded an original copy of 10.6.0 from some torrent. Then, I added the kext files from this site, which I am assuming are geared more specifically towards a 1000HE than what is put on my machine by the NBI program. Then, I loaded the driver from the Ralink website for the RT2860 (even though there isn’t a 10.6 version), which made my wifi work, though it auto-starts with some of its own software, rather than using the Apple wireless software, kind of a bummer. Does anyone know a way to fix that? The DSDT file wouldn’t work for me, I’m guessing because I updated my BIOS to 1104 before I started all this. So, I guess I’m running without one. Thanks everybody for all the tutorials!

I just ordered a retail copy of 10.6 and it arrived today (I live in a small town in Hawaii). Unfortunately, it’s a 10.6.3 disc, which they didn’t tell me in the Apple store website… Will the process from this tutorial work with this version of the OS? Or, do I need to find one that is 10.6.1?

I’m getting an “chown: boot: no such file or directory” error when I do the “sudo chown root:wheel boot” command. I’m pretty sure that I’m in the correct directory when I executed the command. One thing that I did notice was that after I executed “sudo cp ./boot /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ DVD/”, it said it was a Read-only file system. So i’m not sure if that’s what’s causing the problem.Any suggestions?

Hi Mario. Got the same blinking cursor after successfully install. But I figured it out: do not remove the USB stick from your 1000h(e), (if you changed the boot device priority in the BIOS, change it in order to select your USB stick (MAC OS X Install DVD)).When booting (after the gray screen “Asus EEEPC”) hit F8 several times, you’ll see the bootloader chameleon (a green one) and the systems you can choose to boot: select your Hard drive, then Enter.You’ll boot on your fresh new system, with the Language, keyboard, account creation…In fact, if you watch the part2 of the tutorial, the whole part “Open the Finder” describes how to copy and install that bootloader from the USB Stick, in order to boot without the USB Stick precisely.Now my system is fine, but with no active service for network.However, if the ethernet port doesn’t work , why in v1.3 is it said “Ethernet Fix” ?Thanks!(1000H, 2GB, ROM v2102)

Worked great for me, updated to 10.6.3 no problem, everything works. Then applied the latest security update, and now I get continuous static from the speakers. Regular sounds play normally, but the static is always playing. Anyone know how to rollback and uninstall the Security update?

I have figured out how to successfully update to 10.6.3
1) Google the patched kernel “MacOSX10.6.3kernel10.3.0_atom32_64.zip” and download it and unpack it and move to file mach_kernel_atom64 the root / of your HDD.
2) Google “10.6.3 Meklort SleepEnabler” and download the Sleep Enabler & unpack it.
3) Start Terminal sudo -scd /Extra/Extensionsmv SleepEnabler.kext SleepEnabler.kext.bakcd /Extra mv Extensions.mkext Extensions.mkext.bak./eee-mkext-create.shcp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.bak
4) Now update Snow Leopard to 10.6.3 and do not press the restart at the end. I repeat – do not restart or shutdown pc. Just the leave this update window here.
5) Start Terminalsudo -scd /mv mach_kernel mach_kernel.1063mv mach_kernel_atom64 mach_kernelchown root:wheel mach_kernel
5) Go back to Update window and now you can press the RESTART button.
6) Now you are back in updated Snow Leopard 10.6.3
7) Unpack Meklort’s SleepEnabler.kext and put it to /Extra/Extensionssudo -schown root:wheel /Extra/Extensions/SleepEnabler.kextcd /Extra ./eee-mkext-create.sh
Reboot pc
9) Now Sleep function will work correctly for your eee pc together with SL 10.6.3!
