Acer Aspire One A150 Windows 10

Hi All!

I finally got around to posting something meaningful to the forums. I successfully installed Snowfall Leopard onto my Acer Aspire One A150. Specs and instructions are below:

My specs:

Acer Aspire One A150 Pearl

Intel Cantlet N270 ane.six GHz, 1.v GB RAM, 160GB HDD

Dual Booting (Chameleon RC1) - Leopard (100GB)/Snow (52GB) - GPT - Got Rid of Windows Finally!

Here is how I got around to installing Snow Leopard 10A432 on my Aspire One. I take no credit for the information. I was wandering on Google to find a perfect guide and a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon a Russian website that had posted almost part of these instructions. After battling with Google Translate and Babelfish, I finally was ready to post the instructions. I took a impress of the instructions and downloaded the attachments before I started. If I ever find the website once again, I will post back here. Then without further ado, here nosotros get.

- Installing from a working Bone X 10.5.viii on aao-150 (bios 3310) - Segmentation GUID, bootloader pc-efi v10.2 in the EFI partition

ane. Mount the original image and run the installation: Find the image from usual sources.

in the final type:

open /Volumes/Mac\Bone\ X\ Install\ DVD/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg

Complete Installation

2. Nosotros now have to prepare EFI sectionalisation and set the bootloader

unpack the attached archive to your desktop (you can choose other locations, the instructions beneath presume you unpacked to the desktop)

While in terminal, type the following:

sudo-s

Countersign

diskutil list

diskXs1 - subconscious EFI partition HDD where we will set 10.6

format the EFI partition (Alarm: Do not make mistakes with the disks and partitions - I am not responsible for your selections)

diskutil eraseVolume "HFS+" "EFI" /dev/diskXs1

Now we will put bootloader into the EFI sectionalization

a. cd ~/Desktop/aa1/pc_efi

b. (Please notation the menses before this command) ./fdisk -f boot0 -u -y /dev/rdiskX (rdiskX here is your first bulldoze that the EFI sectionalization resides on)

c. dd if=boot1h of=/dev/rdiskXs1

d. mkdir /Volumes/EFI

east. mount_hfs /dev/diskXs1 /Volumes/EFI

f. cp boot_v10.2 /Volumes/EFI/boot

yard. mkdir /Volumes/EFI/.fseventsd

h. bear upon /Volumes/EFI/.fseventsd/no_log

3. Set extensions (DSDT.aml fabricated for aao150 bios 3310, if you lot take more hardware than the store version, yous will need to make your own DSDT)

a. mkdir /Volumes/EFI/Extra

b. cp ~/Desktop/aa1/plist/*.plist /Volumes/EFI/Actress

c. cp ~/Desktop/aa1/dsdt/DSDT.aml /Volumes/EFI/Actress

d. mkdir /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions

east. cp -R ~/Desktop/aa1/kexts/*.kext /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions

4. IMPORTANT STEP! By Rule Practice THESE ON THE Volume You INSTALLED SNOW TO (X MARKS THE SPOT)

a. chmod -R 755 /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions

b. chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions

c. chmod -R 755 /Volumes/x/Organization/Library/Extensions

d. chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/ten/System/Library/Extensions

5. Create caches

a. kextcache -a i386 -m /Volumes/ten/System/Library/Caches/com.apple tree.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/x/System/Library/Extensions /Volumes/EFI/Actress/Extensions

b. kextcache -a i386 -m /Volumes/EFI/Actress/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions /Volumes/ten/System/Library/Extensions

c. chmod 755 /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions.mkext

d. chown root:wheel /Volumes/EFI/Actress/Extensions.mkext

east. chmod 755 /Volumes/x/Arrangement/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext

f. chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/x/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext

half-dozen. Unmount and remove EFI partition from view

a. umount -f /Volumes/EFI

b. rm -rf /Volumes/EFI

7. Reboot!

The first boot is pretty long - be patient - keep your hands away from the power push button! If you're bored, you can startup with central -v (Verbose), to see what we have going on there <LOL>

You should now hear the startup music and the rest is...well you know already

MAINTENANCE Merely! Just Practice THIS IF SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING THE WAY Information technology SHOULD. With Snow I noticed the consequence is by and large with permssions and the mkext is finicky.

Fixing rights and rebilding caches

In the terminal type (This is done from within Snow, if yous cannot access Snow, you tin also do this from Leo, just start adding /Volumes/Leo to the locations below)

a. chown root:wheel /

b.mountain the EFI partition

- mkdir /Volumes/EFI

- mount_hfs /dev/diskXs1 /Volumes/EFI

- kextcache -a i386 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /Organisation/Library/Extensions /Volumes/EFI/Actress/Extensions

- kextcache -a i386 -m /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions /System/Library/Extensions

- umount-f /Volumes/EFI

- rm -rf /Volumes/EFI

- reboot

*** UPDATED: Used the attached kext to go SD going, nonetheless cannot access MMC though - Brand sure y'all follow the maintenance procedure higher up after installing the kext - My preferred tool is KextHelper ***

I didn't take fourth dimension to work with the SD reader, I will post an update when I get a run a risk.

Everything else should piece of work, restart, shutdown, speedstep, calibrating the display, touchpad, automatic switching audio on headphones

As I said, Snow is very finicky to the presence of caches and the proper permissions to files, and then that if whatever kexts give you errors, do not forget to reboot to fix the rights and rebuild caches using the maintenance procedure.

A screenshot of my desktop is attached as well.

OTHER NOTES:

- First startup took me almost 15-20 minutes.

- Wireless is working after I edited the Info.plist for 1395 Broadcom Wireless in the IO80211Family.kext and entered my vendor id (pci14e4,4315)

- Havent tested a lot of other things, but I know one thing for certain, on my A150, Snow flies better than Leopard!!!!!!!!!

- Please PM me if you have any questions.

:angel: **** MIC All the same DOESNT WORK, NOR DOES SLEEP, WORKING ON OTHER KEXTS AVAILABLE OUT There, WILL HAVE TO DO SOMETHINGS MYSELF THAN INSTALLING A KEXT **** EXTERNAL Display IS GARBLED, TEARS Every bit SOON AS YOU PLUGIN THE Cablevision **** ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? ****
