faraz.ehjaz Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine Hi forum Well i have been trying for days to get the mac OS installed but it is simply not working. I have Dell Dimension 8400 CPU Intel Pentium 4, model 520 (2.80 GHz) Cores 1, threads 2 MMX, SSE (1,2,3) Motherboard Intel chipset i925x Memory DDR2 2.5GB (2560mb) According to what i have read i have SSE 1,2 and 3 and i have PAE (physical address extension) enabled. I have 19GB of free disk space on where im working on. I start with darwin_snow.iso and then i hit F8 and change the disc to mac. i click boot from dvd (which actually is an ISO image) and then i hit f8 and type in "-v" i have also tried with "-v arch=i386" It runs but then it shows that darn error Invalid front-side bus frequency 66000000Hz Disabling the CPU ... and then the popup right after, showing: "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the....." I have tried everythng. Made new ISO files, edit the VMX file and inserted paevm="true"- but it continiusly gives me the same error. I even tried downloading ISO files from the net. but no success. I have downgraded from VMware 7 to 6.5 - still same error.
