Apple don't support Ivy Bridge processors yet and so that error is coming form the MACH kernel. You will need to find another kernel to run and boot on Ivy Bridge CPUs.

I am using a Lion (10.7.4) VM (Fusion 4.1.3) on Lion host and this has been running perfectly on my SB (Z68X) machine.
Now, I upgraded the system to IB (Z77X-UD5H with i7-3770) using BridgeHelper 5 to install native kernel, power management extensions etc.. Windows 7 VM on the IB machine works fine.
But I cannot boot the Lion VM any more and get the error message:'CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system'
Are you saying that I need to install the new Ivy Bridge Kernel inside the 10.7.4 VM as well?

Yes

I just can't get this to run.  Every vm I run has the "CPU has been disabled error".

Can anyone give me some advise on what to do.  It was working until I redid my machine with 12.04.

Thank you Donk!!

Is there any unlocker for Parallels Desktop 7 available?

[geolegg]

Yes

Hmmm, so it would appear this means virtualization isn't going to be an alternative way to get Snow Leopard running on Ivy Bridge.  Bummer.

The following comes from the VMWare forums. This is primarily meant for Fusion, but for any Workstation users out there this should also work as well.

Please add the following to your configuration file:


cpuid.1.eax = "----:----:----:0010:----:----:1010:0111"

[Donk]

Well actually they got it from me but, yes I do believe that should work. That thread is also interesting for the changes made to the Tech Preview.

VMware Workstation Tech Preview 2 available: http://blogs.vmware....-available.html

[Donk]

1.1.0 works with July 2012 preview.

[sebus]

Seems like the July preview has again the same problem of VERY LOOOOONG boot (like W8 did) if smc.present = "TRUE" exists

What version of OS X are you running? I am not seeing any delays with Mountain Lion GM or Lion 10.7.4.

[DislikeYou]

I have problems installing VMware Tools on ML in both Workstation 1 and

Tech Preview 2.

When i have the vm configured with 1 GB ram and 1 cpu with 1 core then the tools installer hangs and never finishes installing.

When i change to 2gb ram and 2 cpu's with 2 cores, it finishes but gives an error that it could not be installed.

I tried darwin.iso from this thread. Also tried some VMware Tools for

Tech Preview 2 on mediafire. None works. Help please. Need to change resolutions.

Ops, I forgot to run unlocker when I installed the update to latest Preview...
Hence it was staying on the PCI configuration line...

My bad!

[kup]

I'm getting black screens with the Tech Preview. The mouse cursors are there and I can network in to the VM but nothing is showing up on screen..

Any ideas?

[kevintap]

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I'm using VMWare Player 4.0.4 build-744019 (for linux).  The libvmwarebase.so.0 file was not patched by the unlocker, and the unlocker reported no specific errors for this file.  After I saw that the Mac OS X choices did not get enabled when creating a new VM, I dug into the source code for the unlocker (thanks for including it!).  The signatures in my copy of libvmwarebase.so.0 are slightly different than what's hard-coded in the unlocker.  I manually fixed up the lib and now I see the Mac OS X choices enabled when creating a new VM.

The signature to look for in my copy of libvmwarebase.so.0 is just 4 bytes shorter.  I've commented the missing bytes below:
   0x00, 0xA0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x08, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, /*0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,*/ 0xDE, 0x00, 0x19, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00

VMWare Workstation 9 with unlocker 1.1.0 works for me only after upgrade a VM hardware up to version 9.
Without VM update I have been seeing black screen.

PS: Lion 10.7.4

[Donk]

Version 1.1.0 worked with the Tech Previews and will work with Workstation 9. Make sure you update the virtual hardware to the version 9 compatibility level for maximum performance.
