goebish Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi, could you please give us some more details on your vm config and installation process ? Kalyway works fine natively on my comp ( Intel C2D E8500@3.8GHz on Asus Maximus Formula) but in latest vmware 6.5 beta 2 (host win xp) I can only install it. Installation is ok but boot is not. It goes to the apple screen then vm crash. If I boot with -v there's only a black screen then crash (I tried with differents kernels). Your help would really be appreciated. Thanks. edit: I should have read this topic before posting: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=118663 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutznboltz Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Which VMware product are we writing about? 1. VMware Player (free) 2. VMware Server (free) 3. VMware Workstation (money) 3. VMware ESX 3i (free) 4. VMware Fusion (money) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrNickname Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yes i tried on VMware Workstation 6.0.4 doesnt work. It stuck on HDD detection and sync. I guess downloading VMware 6.5 beta is better then downloading a whole 4.3GB 10.4.8 Tiger OSX86 ISO for VMware 6.0.4 (Since Tiger is proven works on 6.0.4) Edit: And nutzboltz, he's talking about VMware Workstation since that's the only 6.5 Beta avaliable to it.

englfc Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I did some searching and came across this site http://######.com/index.php?option=...6&Itemid=32 Thought I would try what it says as could not find the answer anywhere else. I added/changed the following 2 lines paevm="true" guestOS = "darwin and started the vmware disk again and it is currently installing!

Will let you know soon if it installs properly After playing around with a few more installation parameters work it seems the paevm="true" does not make any difference but if I have to have guestOS = "darwin" for it to install (other and freeBSD do not allow the installation on VMWare). Strange as there is actually no darwin.iso file for vmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englfc Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 i get to this grey screen with the spinning rainbow cursor then nothing. Well the successful system I set up using vmware was at work on a core 2 duo processor running xp host. However, using the same options on my dual core e2140 running ubuntu64 host has failed, where if I put guestos="darwin", vmware says it can not run it and closes the virtual machine. Have had both of the things you mention (one above and the other on the different topic regarding vmware) occur on my home vmware attempts so all I can suggest, and it is only the bleeding obvious I'm afraid, is to keep fiddling around. That is what I am doing right now!! Oh and you have to use the host dvd drive, not an iso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
