How-To Install or Update Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on the Asus Eee PC 1005HA Netbook

Few days ago Apple released the latest update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 .
Here is the tutorial on how to install or update Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on the Asus Eee PC 1005HA Netbook.

Prerequisites

Yes, you have no alluciantions: the legacy kernel we gonna use is the same prepared for Mac OS X 10.6.6, I tried and it works fine with 10.6.7 on the Asus EeePC 1005HA. I don’t know if it works on other hackintosh systems and netbooks. Please comment about your experience.

Step 1

Follow the instruction of my previous post:

How-To install Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 on the Asus Eee PC 1005HA Netbook

following that how-to you can skip the part that let you update from Mac OS X 10.6.0 to Mac OS X 10.6.6 an substituite it with the following content of Step 2.

Step 2 (Upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7)

  1. Copy MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.7.dmg in the USB stick.
  2. Uncompress legacy_kernel-Mac_OS_X_10.6.6.tgz and to legacy_kernel-Mac_OS_X_10.6.6.pkg and copy it on the USB stick.
  3. Insert the USB Stick on the Netbook then mount and run the MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.6.dmg.
  4. When the installation is finished it will ask to restart:
    DO NOT RESTART THE SYSTEM YET!!
  5. Install ‘legacy_kernel-Mac_OS_X_10.6.6.pkg’.
    This install an older version of the kernel that is still compatible with the unficcial extensions we previously installed before the upgrade.
  6. Again, substitute the Extensions for the misbehaving devices:
    1. Copy ‘SleepEnabler.kext’ to ‘/Extra/Extensions/’.
      This fix the hibernation/sleep feature.
    2. Copy again ‘~/Desktop/SnowLeopardAsus/Extra/IO80211Family.kext’ to ‘/Extra/Extensions/’ folder.
      This makes the system to recognize and install the Wi-Fi card.
    3. Copy again ‘~/Desktop/SnowLeopardAsus/Kext/AppleIntelGMA950.kext’ to ‘/System/Library/Extensions/’.
    1. Copy again ‘~/Desktop/SnowLeopardAsus/Kext/AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext’ to ‘/System/Library/Extensions/’.
      This fixes the video card and add the option to choose 1024×600 resolution.
  7. Now, most important, fire the command ‘fixkext’ with root privileges or using sudo: 
    $ sudo fixkext
  8. VERY IMPORTANT: Run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permisions
    Without this operation your system will reveal really unstable!!!
  9. Now you can reboot the system
