The Vostro V13 has the GMA 4500 as well, so it's not supported.

Hallo all,
i have a little problem:
As far as i understood, it should be possible (in spite of the videodriver), to install SnowLeo on a 1012.
But my 1012 won't boot with OS X; neither from an USB-Stick with an Image of the original SnowLeo-DVD + NetbookBootMaker 0.8.3 nor from a USB-HD with a installed SnowLeo + NetbookInstaller 0.8.3.
Booting from the HD with -v results in six lines of text, ending with "Patching kernel mach_kernel".
Thats all. Waited for hours.
Did i do anything wrong?
Or is the 1012 not able to boot SnowLeo?
BIOS is A04.

The kernel patching routine doesn't work on 64bit kernels, you need to boot with arch=i386 for it to start up. The next version of NBI will work with the 1012, but for now you have to use the 32 bit kernel and extensions.

Hi there,

I'm on the verge of buying a mini 10v. Just wondering should I go for 1011 or 1012. I have done a hackintosh install on an acer, but don't want to spend too much time on this. OSX is a must-have for me. Can 1012 host it properly? Drawbacks? Any advice?

No, the 1012 won't work. Get a 1011 if OS X is a must have.

Hallo Meklort,
thank you very much. 10.6.2 did install and is running fine. I have no sound, no Bluetooth and a stretched display with 800 x 600 Pixels but LAN and WLAN are working fine and speed is sufficient.
Can i tell the bootloader to use those bootoptions or do i have to type them every time i start?

You'll need to modify the /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist file and add it there.
You probably also want to modify the machine.plist inside of NetbookInstaller (int the /Applications folder) so that the Mini 1011 points to the 1012 instead (change the model name to 1012). After that, run NBI and you'll have all of the drivers installed (minus graphics). I'll also be including a new bootloader in the next version that sets the correct resolution for the GMA 3150.

meklort, thank you for all you are doing for the community.

I have the Dell Mini 10v (1012) and have installed OSX. I used the command listed in a previous post arch=i386 to get the OS to install, and then again to boot into the OS after install.

So far it kind of works. What is the actual change I make to the com.apple.Boot.plist?

I tried

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>

that didn't work.

I made the above mentioned changes to the netbookinstaller and now sound works.....kind of. Before each sound there is a loud "pop" then he sound.
Hopefully your next update will make it all very easy for a new guy like me.

Thanks in advance

Hello siafu,

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>arch=i386</string>

Hi, first sorry about my bad english. I want to give thanks to meklort, (you are the boss). I have the same sound problem. It happens always wen something needs a sound, its like a ¡¡PAP!! i don't know if it is bad for the speakers :-) but i am so happy to have mac os in mi 1012. Now i only need to fix the sound problem, and i wan t to ask meklort if is too difficult for a noob like me to put resolution 1200 x..... i don't like 800x600 :-) well thanks for all, i wait for your answer.
