I thought I’d give you guys a heads up on how I’ve fared with my Dell Mini 9 Hackintosh so far.
Yesterday the Hackintosh asked me to download an Apple update and – fully acknowledging the risks – I installed it. Needless to say, the Hackintosh would not boot afterwards. As of yesterday I’m running Windows XP on the netbook again so be warned – you may not want to be as stupid adventerous as me.
That notwithstanding, the following issues would need to be resolved for me to be running OSX on the netbook permanently:
- No audio out (of the stereo jack that is – the speakers worked)
- No audio in (OSX could not find an input device, no mic!)
- No second monitor output (crashes when cable inserted in VGA port)
- No standby (needed to disable standby as it would crash, need reboot)
Some of you pundits out there may already know how to fix these issues, but I didn’t have the time so far to research and apply them myself.
Perhaps I’ll give OSX a second try on the netbook, but for now Windows XP will have to do – although it certainly is a rather drab experience after a couple of weeks with OSX.
Please do let me know how you’ve fared so far! Did you have any issues? Did you manage to solve them? How did you do it?
