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.
