It's not an MJD video without some sort of catastrophic failure and that's why we love watching

Very simple suggestion for getting rid of music ("Staying Alive") when you have no volume control. Plug in external powered speakers, but don't plug in power to them. That will usually redirect the sound to the headphone/speaker jack and shut off the internal speakers.

I love the effort you put in this "Everything Goes Wrong" series! It must be hard to come up with new ways of making things go wrong, great video

This brings back memories of turning my Eee PC netbook into a Hackintosh. Had to jump through lots of hoops to get all of the hardware working but that was part of the fun! I remember the screen resolution being the most limiting factor but there was a way you could fudge the DPI to scale everything down to fit the windows on screen properly but it had some downsides. I ended up using it with the dock on the side of the screen to maximise screen real estate

Holy crap, I had this laptop as a kid. It was absolutely godawful to use and my grandparents had the thing locked down with the parental controls. I couldn't look up anything online without tripping some sort of banned word list. None of the packed in Nickelodeon stuff even worked at all, partially because of the parental controls. I do wonder if the thing would've been better on Linux, probably. Of course, by the time I got into technology, that laptop was long gone.

Those late 2000s early 2010s hackintosh distros always gave me kernel panics and other issues. Patching the retail release was always much better.

Damn this takes me back to when i was in Uni in 2009 and I was rocking a hackintosh Laptop and Snow Leopard, got into it so much I started moddifing patches and drivers for the x86 and Kexts community :D also verbose mode is your friend and patching after installing too

It’s amazing how you got better results with stock OSX than the fancy custom image

Theres something i love with with the crash handler that plays stayin' alive

God, the Dell Mini 10v. Used one of those with OS X 10.6.8 for years. Once you get it set up properly (it needed a patched kernel to re-add 32-bit only support), it was rock solid and genuinely was one of the best Macs I've ever used.

Hands down, macOS Snow Leopard looks right on a netbook. Change my mind, I dare you.

13:54 in Mac OS X 10.6, also known as snow leopard, Apple added Spanish to the error screen. And in 10.7 resume was actually integrated into the kernel panic

iatkos, Netkas, idenev .... oh boy,.... so many memories (I still have all my burn dvd from each of those distros) 😅

my favourite part of these videos is you always expecting it will go well and then everything goes haywire 2 minutes later

lol a kernel panic, NEVER saw it coming! 😂

Did this with mine not long after buying it. Still have the better touchpad to install in the Dell packaging. I love having this and still use it as a network monitor. Also looks boss with a Ghostbusters logo decal on the top.

I had one of those with 2 GB of RAM, a SSD, and installed Ubuntu 10.10 i386, and it worked like a charm for like 5 years. It was a nice computer. I miss it dearly!

you opened my eyes to another hackintosh method, it's old but i found dmg images that could go up to catalina by niresh and mountain lion for iatkos

The shell looks nice!

This is so great mjd so great

I see goes wrong and i click. Always fun. 😂

Funny what you can still do with these old netbooks. Would love to rebuy my first laptop some day which actually was a Lenovo S10-3 and had of course the same specs. It can't do 64bits I know but you know... nostalgia.

I have the 10v as well. I recall running SL on it too, good times.

great video, as always

iATKOS... that brings back some memories lol.

best video I've ever seen today :))

Are used to have a lot of fun putting Mac OS X onto Books. The last book I did it with I think was the MSI Huynh, but I used to do it with all my netbooks. And I had a lot of netbooks. They were fun to buy and fun to hack, and then fun to use with Mac OS X going at best, like decent.

This is something I'd never expected

Oh cool, I wanted to do it on my netbook, now I can see how it runs

Ahhhh...... Everything going wrong classic MJD

Everything goes wrong? Yes a classic is back

Man I love that idea

I love how this is Apple software running on a Dell laptop, installed from a HP disk using an LG disk drive 🤣🤣

I did my my first hackintosh installation using iATKOS 5i and iATKOS S3 v2 back in 2011. The days when the vanilla mach_kernel didn't work so you had to use a patched kernel... 😂

God I remember the iAtkos headaches very well. Never got their AIO running. Forced me to use the Tonymac tools haha

Wouldn't be a hackintosh project without every possible thing going wrong.

Of course things have to wrong, it's Michael MJD

iirc having a custom distro crash, fail and kernel panic, is part of the early hackintosh experience, so this video would have been dishonest without it

My first instinct would've been to try the PS/2 driver for the keyboard recognition issue. Edit: though I guess as the function keys later worked it was a USB keyboard internally. Cos that's just part of the USB HID standard. Also it's kind of ironic that you said there's nothing applicable to your situation in the help notes, as on screen in that exact moment was a paragraph saying that if you have trouble booting or kernel panics to reinstall with no extra drivers.

@MichaelMJD

Жыл бұрын

The PS/2 driver could've been the issue, but the fact that at 10:15 it recognized input from the keyboard and then stopped working seems to me like its more of a system hang/crash. Also, the paragraph on screen that you're referring to doesn't really say that. It only mentions kernel panics, which I hadn't encountered yet. And plus, the issue wasn't with getting the system to boot up. It was getting through the account creation/registration part of setup after it had already successfully booted up. It also doesn't say to install with no extra drivers... it says to install without any "funny patches/drivers" which seems to indicate extra stuff that isn't necessary for the OS to boot. I only had drivers for system components selected, so I don't see how that's ironic.

@@MichaelMJD of course, it could’ve been anything. That’s why I just said it was my first instinct! As to the driver thing, I definitely didn’t expect you to notice it from skimming it, but that’s why I found it “ironic”. (Like, actual Dramatic Irony, not the increasingly-confused popular sense.) Definitely not trying to call you unobservant! I’m pretty sure the guy who made the distro was trying to help, but phrased it so obtusely and with such hyperbole that it didn’t jump out to a regular computer person as relevant. That previous paragraph was how I finished, but I thought it best to place that most important part higher up. So here’s the lengthier explanation: the installer itself was booting and accepting input, so the default no-driver situation clearly worked. Maybe this is just my teen immersion in FOSS bros as much as I hate them, but I saw networking drivers referred to as exotic troublemakers all the time. You selected the bare minimum for a fully functioning system, yes, but then these dudes say bare minimum they mean far less than fully functional. (Just like those Android ROMs which had no sound, networking, camera, etc.) A lot of this stuff back in the day involved deselecting all the custom hardware and then, after the install was done and you’d gotten past account creation, one by one copying over the kexts to the right Library folder and individually testing them. Also the note specifically mentioned not to trust that the hardware identified by the tool will work with the drivers because of subtle chip revisions, so that was two signals to me that the networking drivers (or another non-video, non-sound driver) might’ve been the issue. I haven’t done any of this myself since 08 or 09, but I recall with the non-Apple drivers an issue with one driver could interrupt the entire driver loading process. Which happens after the initial boot, since Mach is a microkernel rather than a monolithic kernel. In obtuse FOSS bro speak, that’s an “incomplete boot” and thus falls under “boot issue”. (I’ve also had similar problems where a Linux install would work with no drivers, but never work with the supposedly-right drivers.) The fact that it kernel panicked right after you installed more (seemingly basic but potentially troublesome) drivers, in an attempt to fix it booting in an unusable state, was just a second layer of dramatic irony after the first from obtuse FOSS bro assumptions. At the end of the day it’s all academic though! Apple’s own installer “just worked” as the hardware was similar enough to an early MacBook or MacBook Air, plus there was that utility designed just for the netbook as opposed to a distro which tried to support a much wider variety of hardware with dubious community drivers. It probably worked better than the janky distro ever would’ve.

Жыл бұрын

I really appreciate the info, and thanks for the detailed explanation! I certainly haven't messed around with these Hackintosh distros very much, but I learned from the last video I did that just installing them without going into the customization settings can cause the system to not recognize even some of the most basic hardware. In that video, it didn't detect any network devices, sound didn't work, and the internal DVD drive wasn't recognized at all. I had completely missed the customize button so when it was pointed out to me, I did a followup and went through and was able to get some of the stuff to work. So that's why when I did this video I just immediately went into the customization options to select drivers. In hindsight, I probably should've tried to to a "clean" install without checking any of those boxes and it might have led to better results. Although, this distro had far more things componentized on that screen than the previous one I used (like USB and PS/2) so it might have just led to the same issues. But yeah I'm glad that I got the regular install disc to work in the end! Also, I see what you mean about it being ironic, heh.

@kaitlyn__L

Жыл бұрын

@@MichaelMJD for sure networking, sound, DVD, Bluetooth, etc all would not have worked at first. I’m not sure if you could access the kexts directly from the DVD or if you would’ve needed to download some long-defunct Megaupload archive from the forum. A lot of this stuff involved hella long forum threads telling you exactly what can and can’t be “safely” ticked in customisations for each model of computer, and what was best to save for a manual kext install later. Anyone who asked about issues like in this video were treated very rudely if they missed anything non-obvious in a 100-page discussion; which is exactly why I stopped bothering with that stuff around 09. It took all the fun right out of it. Part of me does also wonder if the first distro could’ve been booted into Single User Mode to delete some troublesome kexts, that was sometimes an advanced tactic in lieu of constant reinstalls, but either way it’s very user unfriendly even with all the forum resources (which might not exist anymore). Not to mention it could’ve absolutely been some deeper issue instead. I definitely agree that itemising so many drivers with little to no explanation is an issue with iATK, it really shoots the entire idea of a pre-made, ready-to-go Hackintosh resource in its proverbial feet. There was imo no reason to have default-off for drivers OSX would normally have, but this distro did it. And if that community was anything like the ones I participated in, anyone who complained when they inevitably had problems was called a noob or lazy 🙄 It’s exactly the kind of thing which happened really frequently with those forum-committee led distros. Usually one influential person needed it to provide a fix but everyone else should (un)tick it (and there were dozens of such situations), or the author just decided “full control” was preferable over ease of install. To the detriment of everyone. I also didn’t touch Linux/BSD between 2009 and 2015-6, because it could be even worse. (It’s often sadly still like that about software you compile yourself.) Only after I had friends who knew things rather than relying on forums/IRC servers (now subreddits and Discord servers I guess) did I feel comfortable getting back into that realm. And by then my interest in Hackintosh stuff was absent. Thanks for the opportunity to clarify by the way, I’ve been trying not to front-load and overburden my comments so they’re easier to read, but sometimes there’s a missing/implied aspect of my own context which turned out to have been important.

In the netbook era, I did tried hackintosh on my netbook. There was a whole community behind it. I remember the name of the os was iaktos. I had asked Santa for an external dvdrom so I can experiment with it. Although I was able to install it, Wi-Fi card and Ethernet never worked so I had to revert back to windows. It was a wild ride.

I remember getting this issue while hackintoshing an old Dell laptop, I'm not sure what exactly is the issue, but I think it might be some security measure put in place by Apple to stop people using Hackintosh or some crap like that, with OS X Maverick I never came across this issue

It’s very a great video to intall that Mac OS on that dell mini

10:56 sometimes laptops utilize usb interfaces for the trackpad, and keyboard, so that could be why

finally one of the "but everything goes wrong" videos has a good ending

It can barely emulate Super Mario 64, just not at a very comfortable speed.

Selecting the PS/2 driver might have fixed the built-in keyboard and trackpad as laptops even now still use PS/2 internally for those.
