OK I am using VMWorkstation 8.0.3 and I have a new i7-3610QM cpu, and after following multiple guides and instructions to install 10.7.4 I keep getting the "cpu has been disabled by the guest operating system" error. I can post what ever files you need if you tell me what to post.

Thanks for the help.

The usual things would be useful:

1. How did you unlock Workstation?
2. Are you using a retail version of OSX?
3. Attach (DO NOT POST) copy of the vmware.log file.

I have attached my log

And the unlocker I am using is VMware Unlocker 1.1.0 by Dave Parsons 2011-2012

And as for the version of 10.7.4 I don't know I have 2, one that appears to be already installed the one from this youtube:



And thank you for the help.

Update: I am not  able to get to the apple logo but it just hangs.

i failed to install 10.7.4 directly as well.

Ivy Bridge not supported by Apple. Will need modified kernel for OS X. Google and you can find it.

I have the same issue but with a 3570k on a Z77. Have you found a solution yet? Does 10.7.3 work for you?

Seems that for ivy bridge one needs to add

cpuid.1.eax = "0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:1010:0101"

as per this

I had forgotten about finding that mask with MSoK http://www.insanelym...post&p=1622074. Sets it a Xeon if I remember correctly. http://www.insanelym...howtopic=232183

Good to know where it came from originally!

Thanks

Well it good to know it can help in this situation. See the work you do on that other forum, and appreciate you helping out on the topic over there.

After a long evening of trying many many different combos, I've found my new Ivy Bridge Z77 motherboard with i5 3750K will allow ESXi 5 u1 to install Lion but only if you start out as Mac OS X Server 10.6 64 bit with the CPUID changed as above. Migrating a previously working Lion form a Duo 2 Core setup didn't work. FYI, I used a previously imaged VMDK from the InstallESD.dmg in Lion 10.7.2.

So happy to get this working I did a password reset and both quizzes to let me post!
