OSx86 - Lenovo C100 - Fullyworking
OSx86 - Lenovo C100 - Fullyworking
Just a quick post to say that my C100 runs OSx86 like a charm.
The biggest problemis getting the initial install done, the stock DVD drive refuses to boot the installer.
The work around is to use a 2.5 - 3.5 Hdd converter and install the OS in another PC or put the 2.5 Hdd in a different laptop that will boot the install DVD. Failing that it is also possible to install to partition using VMWare (set it so it uses a whole physical partition rather than virtual disk files).
Once installed my stock broadcom WiFI needed a little prod to get it working, everything else was up out of the box - Audio, Bluetooth, GMA900 with full acceleration.

How about sleep? My understanding is that it's the tough nut on most non-Apple hardware.Katch wrote:everything else was up out of the box - Audio, Bluetooth, GMA900 with full acceleration.

Thanks, I also installed 10.4.6 HotISO (on my X60s). How do you apply the JaS patches to an HotISO install? Is the process documented somewhere? Sorry if the question is very basic.Katch wrote:10.4.6 - HotISO with JaS patches
OK, I haven't installed any of the above (video worked OK on my X60s with the stock 10.4.6), but I understood the GMA900 patch is required if one moves on to 10.4.7.Katch wrote: Base system decrypts - SSE2 Decrypts + GMA900 support
I see, you've the latest everything! Maybe this is what made sleep work on your Lenovo! Let's hope I can achieve the same on my X60s, because lack of sleep support is a severe handicap on a laptop.Katch wrote:Also now upadated through 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 (JaS releases)
Thanks again for your help! Dominique

I can confirm that sleep is working on the X60s under 10.4.8.domi wrote:Thanks, I also installed 10.4.6 HotISO (on my X60s). How do you apply the JaS patches to an HotISO install? Is the process documented somewhere? Sorry if the question is very basic.Katch wrote:10.4.6 - HotISO with JaS patches

Sleepless in almost everywhere
Has anyone else got sleep working on an X60 (or any other model of thinkpad) ?
Please let us know how!

OSX can also be installed on a virtual VMware disk. I just did that with 10.4.6 (HOTiSO) on my X60s, using VMware 5.5.3 build 34685.Katch wrote:Failing that it is also possible to install to partition using VMWare (set it so it uses a whole physical partition rather than virtual disk files).
