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.

OSX on the Lenovo S10
Well, I managed to turn my S10 into a hackbook running OS X 10.5.6. It’s been quite a journey, but I’m pretty much all the way there. I followed the step-by-step found at http://www.netbooktech.com/2008/10/13/guide-to-installing-os-x-on-lenovo-ideapad-s10/ which got me most of the way there, but there were some niggling things I wanted to work that I had to look high and low for. One of my issues was 2 finger scroll on the Synaptics touchpad. I finally did get that working with this link http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=88811 but I still can’t get sleep to work without disabling USB. At this point I want USB more than sleep, so no sleep for me now. I did have sleep working for a while and it was fantastic, but needed USB so had to revert to the old USB kext.
So how hard is this? Let me say this…it’s not for the faint of heart. It took me a long time and a lot of “grief”, but in the end I think it’s worth it. Don’t try this at home kids if you don’t have a couple of days and the desire to do a lot of Googling. I consider myself to be pretty technically capable, and I had some help from a friend who is not only *very* technically competent, but also has a Mac.
So, there it is…my experience making my Lenovo S10 netbook into a hackbook. It was an incredible learning experience and I’d do it again in a heartbeat (in fact I already had to after installing some kexts and running into a deadly kernel panic). If you have some patience, some smarts, some technical ability, and want a cheap and pretty cool hackbook, go for it. If not, then stick with XP.
TTFN,

EDIT – For sleep with USB I followed all of the instructions, but I was editing the kext files with the GUI Textedit app and that was my problem. I had to use the disk utility to repair the permissions on my drive, and voila – perfectly functioning sleep and USB. It took a lot of digging to find that little trick, so hopefully someone else finds it helpful.
