Aaron44126 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 OS X isn't what I use Workstation for most of the time so I'll just wait for the changes in the tech preview to make it to the stable channel. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Fair enough. Just want to say that I have been using the Tech Previews since Mach and rock solid as far as my usage goes. Run a development team in a big software house. Lots of big VMs with development environments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim2323 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I did NOT have to use the tech preview to get 10.7.4 to boot. I used this information to get 10.7.4 to boot on Workstation 8.0.3. I don't remember where I got it from, but it was one of the other Mac virutalization/help forums out there. Found it through a search on Google. The first part is what I did to get Lion to boot properly after upgrading from Snow Leopard, and the 2nd part is what I did to get it to 10.7.4 to work on workstation 8.0.3. I haven't upgraded to 8.0.4 yet. sudo -s cp -a AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext /System/Library/Extensions chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext touch -c /System/Library/Extensions kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel kextcache -system-caches <reboot> I succeeded in installing OS 10.7.4 under Workstation 8.0.3 for Windows as follows - Get the combo update for 10.7.4 from Apple [don't use software update.] - Retain AppleSMC.kext v3.1.1d8 from OS 10.7.3. - Create a snapshot. - Open a root Terminal. - Run the combo update under OS 10.7.3. - Don't press restart when the update completes. - Goto /System/Library/Extensions in the root Terminal. - remove AppleSMC.kext, or move it to a backup location. - restore AppleSMC.kext from OS 10.7.3 that you retained. - touch /System/Library/Extensions. - Now press restart in the installer window. - The system should restart successfully. I have attached the AppleSMC.kext I downloaded from the site I got this info. I was unable to properly copy out my 10.7.3 kext and copy it back. I'm not very good with Mac OS yet, so somebody else may have better luck. I'm sure they are just assuming some of the steps are known. Hope this helps.

vividcode Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 After applying the latest unlocker + this thing. My laptop is intel core 2 duo T5270 (VT disabled). My host is Vista 32 bit.

You could well have some odd kernel extension or app in a pre-made image. So stay clear of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vividcode Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 thanks Donk - btw, can you take a look at my vmx file (I edited my post sometime afterwards) - if that tells you something? And yes - I read your comment about free tech preview 2012 of vmware workstation, which I am downloading right now. Can you bit more elaborate how can I get this Lion thing working with it, just in case? Would I need any patches over it? I do not have retail dvd available to me in my area - hackintosh is a long way, and virtualization is my last resort as of now. So need as much detail as possible to get it working on my intel Core 2 duo, 2 gb ram dell config. Greatly appreciate your help... -vC vmx.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Sorry I can't help at the moment. I am on vacation in Iceland with limited Internet access. However I am pretty sure most people have not got this working on a CPU with no VT-x and consequently no 64-bit support in the guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vividcode Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 on a CPU with no VT-x and consequently no 64-bit support in the guests. After applying the unlocker, why do I see these OS choices: Mac OS X 10.7 Mac OS X 10.7 64 Bit I obviously chose the first one, still I faced the error and the 'stop' sign later. Sorry to sound silly here, as I am newbie to this virtualization concept, but looking at these choices I was inclined to think 10.7.x is available in both 32 and 64-bit mode. Not really wishing to trouble you in your holidays. Have a great vacation :-) just in case when you find some free time, please elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Well I can't test anything as no access to kit at moment. I believe that VMware only run Mac OS X guests using VT-x even when running 32-bit. There was a clean-up of the code paths carried out in Fusion 4, which Workstation 8 inherited, as they share a common code base for the virtualization engine. My patch re-enables the guest OS settings in a dialog, plus a few other changes. It doesn't mess with the use of VT-x, as frankly I am not sure where that is used in the code. The other problem is that when some folks got it running for Snow Leopard it was almost unusable without VT-x. Sorry can't help much more at present. Maybe one of the other forum members can help you. If proved wrong and/or someone can suggest a patch, I will incorporate it into the unlocker.

NSCXP2005 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi All, I am having problems installing the Tech Preview, I keep getting an 'MSI Failed' error message. I have tried uninstalling VMWare and installing it again but, the same error message appears. Does anybody know how to completely remove VMWare from my system so I can install it again from scratch? I am on Windows 7. Thank you for your time. All the best, NSCXP2005 EDIT I managed to fix this MSI Failed error by redirecting %temp% to C:\Temp All the best, NSCXP2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbg Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 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?

geolegg Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
