Brewsta Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I just want to run OSX in VMWare. I am using a Dell Latitude D505. It keeps throwing the paevm error as if I have not added it to the configuration file, even though I have. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewsta Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 I am sorry I did not elaborate more. Here's a bit more details on what exactly is going on. Dell Lattitude D505 (Pentium M @ 1.6 GHz) Host OS: XP SP2 with all updates I'm using the JAS 10.4.6 ISO, I am using Daemon Tools to mount it. I have set up VMWare 5.5 according to all the different tutorials say it should be. VMWare boots fine, and finds the Mac OS X ISO fine as well. I press any key to begin installation, and it starts to load Darwin/x86, and when the grey Apple screen appears, VMWare's virtual machine stops, Here's the error I get: *** BVMware Workstation internal monitor error (bug 9297) *** The guest operating system you are running is using the Physical Address Extension (PAE) processor option. For more information about running PAE-enabled guest operating systems, please consult http://www.vmware.com/info?id=28 I have enabled PAE in my config file, though. Here are the first four lines of my config file for this virtual machine: paevm = "TRUE"config.version = "8" virtualHW.version = "4" scsi0.present = "TRUE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwprod12 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Have you verified that your cpu supports PAE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZARk Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 i have the same problem on my centrino laptop. BUT works fine on a p4 workstation. so i upgraded to sp2 (because PAE is enabled by default on sp2, and mofying the kernel args of NT on sp1 didn't change the problem) but same problem. PAE is enabled on my processor, because i can run osX Native : But for some reason i can't install natively, (waiting for root...) now i need to run the disk utility on the install dvd, but can't do it natively (no root), and can't do it thru vmware (pae bug).

Frelser Helt Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm getting the same error... I have paevm = "true" in my vmx file and gives that error... I have an IBM R51 laptop Intel Pentium® M processor. Using service pack 2. Even tried editing the boot.ini to enable PAE boot.ini ex: [boot loader] timeout=30 /PAE default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn Works on My AMD pc... I even tried copying the Virtual machine from there... and still no good. Anyone have ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxmd Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I got it working with VMWare 5.0 on a Thinkpad where 5.5 and VMWare Server would produce exactly the error you describe, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
БεRΓ Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 From what I can ascertain, the 400mHz Pentium-M chips do not support PAE. Just about every other recent Intel CPU does. This means that you cannot run Tiger in VMWare. I have a 1.8 Pentium-M (Dothan) and I have the same issues as you. Desktop P4 (Northwood) is fine. I haven't found a work around yet. I can't report on how the 400mHz Pentium-M goes as far as a native install - I haven't attempted. Hope this helps. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yup, download a trial version of EVEREST and check you the CPU information to se if it actually support PEA. Bert stated a true fact that P-M Dothan do not support PAE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fOZf8 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I 'think' it's just the 400mhz based dothans that don't have pae...the 533mhz based dothans have nx control as well, and many more people seem to have had success installing on them over the 400mhz ones...really, i don't know though, I'm still fighting my 1.7m (400mhz)...i dont even get kernel panics though, it just stops booting after recognizing the firewire.

msmyth2002 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I have the same problem with my IBM T42 laptop. I can install natively, but through VMWARE. It doesn't make sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domino Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 For those having problem with vmware, downgrade to vmware 5.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspi Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 i had the same trouble - but it was only due to me installing macosx for the first time - the installation went well but after reboot came a message, that guest OS shutted down the processor. for me it has been solved by a simple thing - during last step of the instalation (before copying all the files) i didn't chose the patches for my processor to install, so i solved it by installing it once again with these patches checked.

mathz Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I also encountered this problem after trying to boot directly from iso dvd. (I've had the well known AppleIntelPIIXATA error during loading the installer). So I decided to try it working via vmware. but after i mounted the iso with daemontools and started the virtual machine this error comes up. Searching the forum results in editing the virtual machines config file ".vmx" with an additional key (PAEVM="TRUE"). Unfortunatelly this does'nt work. Adding /PAE to boot.ini for a force start of PAE doesn't work either. Does someone know whats the next thing to check to get this baby OSX'ed?? matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbone Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Same issue here. I though about using qemu for emulation but can´t seem to get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0pa Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) I downgraded to 5.0 but i still get the error. What build of 5.0 are you running? EDIT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oops, i forgot to add paevm= "TRUE". that fixed the issue. I am running 5.0.132. Thanks for the help Edited January 15, 2007 by n0pa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
