discmeister Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi all, I've got a lovely install of OSX86 running on my Gigabyte P35-DS3P (Q6600, nVidia 8800GT), using a PC EFI v9 and an EP35-DS3x bootloader's extensions.mkext. Everything seems to work a treat; it shuts down, restarts, loads Final Cut Pro and all of Creative Suite 3 without any dramas. However, it seems incapable of running Windows XP through either Parallels or VMWare Fusion. XP installed fine on Parallels, but when I try to install something - such as Sid Meier's Railroads!, for example - it gives me a kernel panic about two thirds of the way through the process. And as for Fusion, it gets up to registering components in the XP install before a kernel panic (grey curtain screen, in other words). I have a few very useful movie file subtitling apps that I need XP for, but ideally I'd also like to be able to play some games through there, without having to resort to two fully separate installs, even on the same drive. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem and found a solution? Discy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
