This is not working for me.
After 30 min of trying I got a fatal error saying that it can’t load the ACPI driver.

Any idea?
modified Bios update?

Hi all,

I got the last bios version of Asus eeePC 1000 HE (1104) and when I try to change it for the modified bios I got a message telling me the bios is too old or not adapted to my mother board.

Is there a solution to force it, because when I tried to install the Ideneb DVD after 30 min i got a message telling me there is a conflict with ACPI configuration?
Thanks.

UPDATE:
This may help someone else.
the 1104 BIOS seems to go through install OK.
To stop the infinite loop
when asked to boot from CD DO NOT hit enter but F8 into advanced options when you get the boot prompt type -v -f cpus=1

This will take a little longer to load install but it WORKS..
right now I have about 15 min left of install.

I am not getting past the bios flash. When I try to flash the bios using either of the 2 roms I get that the bios file is to old for my motherboard or hardware.

Any other roms?
my problem is When I get to the installation I get the apple for a sec then it boots again into 7.

[...] Update: You can find new video tutorials on how to install SnowLeopard here. This is a copy of the original article on eNik.ch [...]

Thanks for the tutorial. I found myself being able to install ideneb on my 1000he netbook at its bios at 1002 if i could remember the number. and everything runs well.

i found a little trick for those who can’t run ethernet all the time. The ethernet cable works all the time when you connect the ethernet cable before booting your computer up.

The only thing thats a bit glitchy about my netbook with ideneb is my touchpad and thats about it. everything works well.

Thanks very much for your guide.
It works on my 1000HE.

I spent only 6 hours to try to downgrade from bios 1002 to your bios 802. To doing that i must use a version of asus update 6.10.02 that allow downgrade of the bios

Hope to find a migration to snow leopard in few month.

I have your dsdt.aml file however I don’t know how to install it. I just cut and pasted it there and nothing…sorry I’m such a noob…everything is working buttery smooth except for the mouse and keyboard. any help would be graetly appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hi,

Try hooking up an external mouse and keyboard. This should at least give you back the control.
Now you should probably install the dsdt.aml file that goes with the 2GB memory configuration (it’s in the bundle) to the root of your OSX installation.

Keep us posted,

Nik

I followed your guide to the tee. It was the most informative and best experience yet! Thank you so much for your time and tremendous effort. I do have a question. I am experiencing the same problem as you with loosing the keyboard and mouse. I upgraded to 2GB ram and changed to broadcom wireless. Now I lost keyboard and mouse. Everything worked perfectly…now all is lost with no keyboard and mouse functionality. Please help. I am unfamiliar with terminal but will give it a try. Thanks again.

I had the same issue after updating to 10.5.8. After a few days of searching, turned up this site. The kext specifically designated for the battery fix, since that was my only issue.

Hi,

If I’m not completely mistaken you get the classic “Airport” functionnality only if you replace the wifi card.
Using the drivers for any other card, OSX will see the wifi as an ethernet connector…
There should be a tool that comes with it that allows you to connect/disconnect to/from a SSID and to check status.

To make the ethernet port work you need the corresponding kext. But apparently it remains a bit fiddly…

Hope this helps,

Nik

Okay, I reloaded OS X 10.5.7 on my 1000HE using the same iDeneb 1.5.1 install. I selected install options paying close attention to network cards and chipset options.
Audio seems to be found without a hitch. No selection made there. I have not tested mic(s) or inputs/output jacks. The ALC662 appears to be the correct dirver.
Under Netbook I selected EEEPC.
Under ChipSet I selected ICHx Fix.
Network I looked for Attansic L1 or L1E or ATL1E.
Wireless appears to be an AR928x from Azurewave. If I recall, there are three drivers to select from and none match. I selected the single driver. There are two others in numeric sequence.
Video is GMA950.

Okay, so I start my new install and all looks fine. Video looks even better (Could be new stock Bios v1001 I installed). Opening the Preferences panel and then Network, I show the three devices again. Bluetooth, and two ethernet connectors or NICs. Again, EN2 now, is connected to a 192.168.x.x IP and I am able to ping and after launching Safari, plow around the internet. Setting the connector to off kills the connection but not the radio lamp on the laptop. I cannot determine what SSID I am connected to or find a way of setting WPA or WEP up. My home lan is encrypted. The neighbor up the road is not.
I also noted that the connection time is super fast, under three seconds or so to connect, obtain an IP and show a green icon.
Now, the wired connector does not appear to be functioning. I connect up to my lan and there is no change in the status or in ifconfig’s listing.

Hope this helps some.

I wanted to comment on the WIFI issue that seems to be up in the air. I downloaded iDeneb 1.5.1 /os x 10.5.7 and made the error in thinking that the software installer would know what hardware I had and only install what was needed to operate my 1000HE.
Mistake! Kernal panic and a quick breeze over the install guide later (RTFM, I know) led me to only install a few options.
All went well, in fact I was really thinking about keeping my “Mac” until I started seeing posts regarding the WIFI driver issues.

On my system, I went into the settings and looked at the Network icon. I have a BlueTooth device and two Ethernet devices showing installed.
The EN0 device was accessing 192.168.1.5 (ifconfig from the terminal) on some unknown router and I was able to ping URL’s, meaning I was out of my own lan, wirelessly!

The 1000HE shows a sticker, in the battery slot, with NE766 which is alledged to be the RaLinkTech card that has an OS X driver.

My wireless works, sort of. Has anyone installed this driver and found it works with 10.5.7? IS it possible that due to some goof on my part I was able to “add” some functionality and make the card work?

I am hoping that this is news and maybe makes its way to the Dev Team for followup.

Yes. Everything works but the battery indicator does not update properly. This was doing the vanilla install. I don’t have the link but use the search terms “rcfa vanilla 1000he” and you should come up with something that talks about installing leopard on a 1000he with a standard leopard dvd. It actually works nicer than the iDeneb route… in my opinion anyways.

Anyone tried to update to 10.5.8?

If so, can you post detailed directions?

Thanks!
