I have got the feeling that the kext I’m using is not the most appropriate. Quite buggy and so far I’m still getting some noise.

Hopefully, YOU will also be capable of helping the OSx86 community to improve the hardware support for this hardware. I would love to thank the guy who made AppleGenericPCATA.kext but unfortunately, I have no idea where I got this kext from for I was trying different extensions compulsively for months and I’ve totally forgot where I got this one from :(. I’m positively sure that you can get the 1101HA’s SATA disk recognized by tweaking some other driver, like the AppleIntelPIISATA.kext, but I’ve ran into many problems using it.Įventually, I found a kext that actually did its job very well.

There are thousands of really great articles and howtos on how to undertake the installation of Mac OS X on a PC, so I won’t reinvent the wheel here.

The beauty of all this, apart from the challenge itself, is the price of these nice netbooks (around 340 in Europe!). The hardware is exactly the same as for the 12-inch 1201HA, so everything here is applicable to this model too.

The purpose of this post is to help other users to overcome the problems that arise while trying to install this OS on one of the coolest netbooks out there now, the 11-inch Asus Eee PC 1101HA… (which happens to be the one I own -)). Legalities aside, the time has come when it is possible to run Mac OS X on more powerful hardware than those sold by Apple. The OSx86 scene has gone a long path providing help and support, in a way that no company is prepared (or willing) to do. Installing Apple’s operating system Mac OS X on a standard PC is no longer a secret.
