(behold my – working! – boot-up options, using the old-skool classic GRUB bootloader)
I've given up trying to get the audio to work on OS X on my IdeaPad's msiWindOSX install. Could not get Audieee to work. A 10.5.5 update trashed the OS. I re-installed msiWindOSX and the fricking Terminal app wouldn't run! Parallel x for mac. I think a retail copy of Snow Leopard might be the way to go.

Mac Os For Lenovo S10 2.4
A colleague and I last night both reminisced on how much time we had spent getting out Bondi Blue iMacs to sync with out Palm Pilots by infra red. We reckoned about 2 weeks' work. Some things are just not worth the effort. Besides, the current versions of Spotify and WINE play nice, so I can use my free Spotify account in Ubuntu!
Anyway, here's a list of what I've tested and does work in msiWindOSX on a Lenovo S10-2:
- Screen, including brightness function keys.
- Wifi – with a little patch
- iTunes to manage my Mac-formatted iPod – but there's no audio though, and I had to download new versions of QuickTime and iTunes to work with my iPod Nano
- Adobe Illustrator CS
- Webcam in iChat – but not in PhotoBooth
- The SD card reader slot works a treat – OS X can natively handle Nikon RAW NEF files, so OS X could be a useful tool for photography.
- FlickrUploadr
- Trackpad – but no gestures or 2-finger strolling
- Networking with other Macs over wifi (ethernet is not supposed to work but I've not tested it)
- USB devices such as memory sticks and Microsoft optical mouse
- TillyPaint!

It has a feature set comparable to Microsoft Access, but with a strong focus on forms (layouts) as the primary way of accessing databases.

- Ethernet (not expecting this to work)
- External VGA monitor
If you want OS X running on your Lenovo S10 then a retail copy of Snow Leopard and the Snow Leopard Enabler are clearly the way to go. So far pretty much everything seems to work except sleep and ethernet (though I've not tried the latter) on my S10-2. Crucially, sound does work. The web cam even works in PhotoBooth if you crank up iChat first and tick the menu option to show video effects first.
I previously had a triple-boot thing with OS X, Windows XP Home Edition and Ubuntu Netbook Remix going on, but I realised there wasn't much I wanted to do in Linux that I couldn't do in OS X or Windows – so I decided to simplify it a bit and make the machine a bit more elegant. Instead of a text menu I would have a machine that would boot into OS X without delay unless I told it I wanted to go into Windows – as I will be using OS X almost all the time.
An easy, elegant way to switch between Windows and OS X is to use Apple's Darwin bootloader – but when I wiped the disk and reinstalled both operating systems I found that the OS X bootloader couldn't see Windows, only OS X. Configuring the Darwin bootloader seems to be a dark art, and there's not much info on the web. But I discovered that the order you install them in seems to matter. Here's how I got it working.
1) Wipe the whole hard drive clean. Do this by booting off your OS X install USB stick, use Disk Utility to partition the disk in 2 parts. I have a 250GB hard drive in my IdeaPad. I made the 1st partition 160GB OS X, HFS+ MacOS Journalled, using Master Boot Record. I left the rest of the disk blank and I did not install OS X at this point.
2) I booted off a WindowsXP Home Edition install CD and made a 15GB NTFS partition in the free space and installed Windows on it. (I found that making FAT32 partitions in Apple Disk Utility seemed to give me disk errors when it came to installing Windows, even if I made it NTFS later, so it's best to get the Windows installer to make the Windows partition.)
3) I then booted off the OS X install USB stick again and installed OS X on the OS X / Mac-formatted 160GB partition.
4) When you reboot the machine will go into OS X unless you press F8 on startup – just after the Lenovo splash screen and just before the Apple logo.
And you get two logos – cursor left or right to choose the OS you want to boot from.

Next I plan to use some of the spare space to make a FAT32 disk I can use to swap data between OS X and Windows. And maybe leave a sliver free for Linux in the future…
