So, the image works GREAT right out of the box. Unfortunately, I downloaded the iPhone SDK and found out I needed one step up from 10.5.2. You must have 10.5.3 or higher to install the iPhone package.

So, I tried doing the system update a number of times as mentioned in his original posting (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=96277&st=0&start=0), but it kept giving me an error in the middle of the install, which killed the VM Image (had to revert to snapshot).

I decided to download the 10.5.3 update manually and install, hoping stepwise would help, but I kept getting the same error that hasn't really found a good solution:

"The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point."

I've searched through and tried this thread:

The only thing I haven't done is checked my BIOS to disable VT technology. What is this and why is it useful?

I've also tried this page, but not much help either:

And I'm guessing I don't have to worry about applying a patch for SSE2 or SSE3 b/c I have an intel processor, correct?

Here's my setup:
GA-P35-DS3R v2.0
E6750 Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz (SSE/SSE2/SSE3)


Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to just bite the bullet and try to create a fresh OS X 10.5.6 image following ~pcwiz's steps?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!


FYI, here's a screenshot of the errors I get when restarting after the error is encounted when installing the updates (mentioned above):

exact same problem here.  but Iphone SDK worked on the 10.5.2.  I just wanted to upgrade anywaybecause the pcwiz image was extremely slowwwwwww.  I don't think you can just upgrade from system upgrade.

I think you done something wrong. Sorry but hope you backed up your system. But maybe it's not too late, unfortunately I haven't read anything about ~pcwiz's Leopard VMware Image. But I'm sure he'll answer as he see this thread.

you need to remove (aka delete) the appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext from your /System/Library/Extensions folder. you can't just update these hacked version without running into problems. hope that helps

Yeah that it looks like it's KP'ing on the appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext. You can either remove it, or install the disabler.kext that disables that particular kext so that you can update without worrying about it screwing up your install.
