This tutorial will help you Install Mac OS X to Acer Aspire One A150 from version 10.5.2 – 10.5.5
WARNING !!! not for the faint hearted ( children don't try this at home )
I have been doing a lot of trial and error on this just to get my AA1 work in Mac OS, but i guest my sacrifice has paid off, I thinks its safe to follow this tutorial :twisted:

Need fixing are the following :
Touchpad Tap ( I'll try to recover the old 10.4.7 kext i have before since touchpad tap was working for my ECS laptop, I'll just update you once testing was OK )
Wifi Atheros AR500EG ( Still trying to find ways to solve the issue )
Sleep mode ( hmm not sure still looking for solution )

:!: Things you needed for this tutorial :
- A DVD containing Kalyway 10.5.2 install (you can find this on the usual 'torrent sites')
- The Kalyway 10.5.3 ComboUpdate (you can find this on the usual 'torrent sites')
- The Official 10.5.4 DELTA update from here
- The Official 10.5.5 update from here

:!: place the above list on a USB stick or CD / DVD

How to update Acer Aspire One A150 BIOS
Thanks to : machani for this link here I modified and posted the procedures below.
1. You need a USB flash drive (SanDisk or any Generic brand)
2. Make it bootable to DOS by following these instructions: http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/07/flashing-bios.html
Follow this screenshoot when creating the bootable USB here
(NOTE: The screenshot shows the Drive is /dev/sb1. This screenshot seems to be done from a Linux machine. From XP, the Drive shows up as D:\ or E:\. Verify that that is the correct drive letter for your USB flash drive).
3. After you click OK, unzip the new BIOS files and copy the three files: 3304.bat, flashit.exe and ZG_3304.fd to the flash drive
4. Leave the flash drive in the USB port, reboot, hit F12 at the initial boot prompt.
5. Choose USB drive to boot
6. It should bring you to a DOS screen choose number 5
7. Change to the C: drive by typing: C: followed by ENTER
8. Type: 3304
(You need to have your laptop connected to external power supply or it won't work).
9. When you reboot, hit F2 at the boot prompt and verify that your BIOS version is 3304

:!: After updating your BIOS, enter BIOS setup and press F9 to 'restore best performance defaults'. This step is VITAL!

3. When prompted to hit a key to boot from CD/DVD, hit a key.... you'll see a ton of text scroll up the screen - just sit tight
4. You'll next be presented with your language select screen. I imagine you want English, so just hit enter! It'll then sit doing 'Preparing Installation' for a while.
5. When you get the 'Welcome' screen, don't hit continue straight away! Move your point to the 'Utilities' menu, and select 'Disk Utility'.

make one for iAtkos :*(

 

there is one

 

really? where is it at? it isn't on the iAtoks OP

 

"iAtkos V41 Intall and Issues"
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1505

 

is it really? ive been reading that thread for a month now and haven't seen anything about 10.5.5 full guide install or even 10.5.5 simple install. I just did a little browsing to make sure and couldn't find anything... could you tell me what page it's on

 

oh skeen, I tought you meant a general iatkos guide...
Erm, no idea about iatkos 10.5.5
could be worth trying a combo update with the "script" that deletes appleintelcpupowermanagement running
I tried that before and it nuked my install. but it also did that on this install of kalyway the first time, but second time it was fine, exact same process both times...
or you could go here and try the pre and post update patches http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=109102
