Seli – I really don’t know. Each different hardware revision changes everything. The new components could be compatible with osx, or they could not. The only way to know is to google it or give it a shot. The worst that could happen is you end up having to reinstall windows…

I’m new to Hackintosh, and to Mackintosh for that matter. I have an HP 1035nr. I used iDeneb 1.6 and it’s working buy my video is at 800×600 and 1024×600. I have no audio. Not having sleep mode isn’t a huge issue to me as I just turn the netbook off when I am done with it, but if I can get that working and it’s isn’t a painful process, well then why not. So specifically what kexts do I need to get 1024×600 video and which ones do I need for audio? I also don’t think my webcam is working. It worked under iDeneb 1.3 but not under 1.6. Would really appreciate some straight forward simple answers. I have used Kext Helper to install the wifi kext without any problem. Also what is Quartz? Sorry I know I should know but like I said this is my first Mac/Hack :-)

I finally got some time to spend trying to make sleep work. I messed around with the instructions that LeMaurien had for sleep (Step 4) with no luck. I saw lots of posts on myhpmini.com about memory…so I upgraded to 2gb RAM and Voila! Sleep works! Not sure why the memory matters, but clearly it does. Sleep via the menu and closing the lid now work, other than a slight crackle when it sleeps, it works great. I have a HP Mini 1000 (1030NR model).

Joe, and RK:
I just noticed something. I didn’t think HP made two 1030NR models, but I guess they have both a 110 and a 1000 model. I have the 1000 model. The 110 has a different wifi chipset and people are currently working on getting it to run smoothly. Here is a link to the forum with 338 (and counting) posts. They seem to be working hard, hopefully it is right around the corner. One other option they mention is using the wifi card out of a mini 1000. Sorry for the confusion. That naming system is mildly obfuscated!

Hi Joe! Yes I have a 1030NR, and wireless is working. I took a screen shot of my extensions folder for you. It doesn’t show anything weird, but maybe you are missing something. One thing weird is that the airport sometimes doesn’t work after the a crash. Simply restarting usually fixes it. Here is a link to the screen grab.

Hey Tiny. I followed the guide and your advice… you say you have a hp mini 110-1030nr, correct? I have the same model, everything is working but the wifi. Am I missing a kext? I googled everywhere for a solution, I hope to find one here.

Hi Abby,
I honestly don’t know. I remember updating my bios before I did the 10.5 install, but I didn’t know that there were any bios that would prevent an install. I think you can upgrade and downgrade at will, so look to see if you can get an older version of the bios.

I’ve been attempting to install Leopard on my 1030nr but it’s been quite difficult. From what I’ve found online, it seems like my bios (f.18) is an issue. Do you know if there are any bios restrictions with the functionality of a Snow Leopard install?

SymPak – sadly, no. The audio is not adjustable on either the keyboard, the docklet, or the system prefs. My only option is to use the individua volume controls on youtube and quicktime videos. not a good solution!

Matt – 1030NR. Mine worked after doing the last round of terminal commands. It works better in 10.6 than in 105, actually! In 10.5 if I slept my machine and woke it up, I would often not have wireless, then I would have to restart with the external switch held down once or twice.

Neal – ditto on the light color.
