oli-j Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm Attempting to install ML (retail) in to a VM on ESXi vSphere 5.1 // HP Proliant Microserver N36L (AMD) but I'm having a mouse input issue. Followed the following guide, but I used the AMD kernel from the development thread: http://www.insanelym...-for-beginners/ As per the guide I used my retail ML dmg to restore to USB, installed chameleon, extracted the packages from basesystem, AMD_kernel from the AMD dev thread, FakeSMC r615 and NullCPUPowerManagement kexts. I went with iMac 10,1 for the SMBios. To run the install I extracted the USB to a dmg and uploaded it to a datastore then connected the cd drive to the dmg. VM is set for OS X 10.7 (highest it goes to, but apparently this works). I have also unlocked ESXi to run OS X on non-apple hardware (I have previously got OS X SL 10.6 running using the legacy kernel). My issue was the installer loads to the language selection menu, but with no mouse and keyboard support so I can't get any further. I have used USB Bus fix, Graphics enabler, Force 64bit, Ethernet Built in and cpus=1. (didn't work). I then started adding in kexts from my SL install with which I got a stable 10.60 install, (I did find that any tweaks on that previous system did cause it to loose mouse/keyboard input through the console and over vnc, so it seems to be pretty fussy): AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext IOATAFamily.kext IONetworkingFamily.kext NullCPUPowerManagement.kext TotallyFixStillWaiting.kext fakesmc.kext I then got keyboard, but no mouse input - any ideas how to get this working? Kind of important as I need to use disk utility to format the disk before install! Lastly I then tried the following as a latch ditch effort: AHCI_Extended_Injector.kext AHCIPortInjector.kext AppleAHCIPort.kext But with no success. Any insight on what to try next?

oli-j Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Soo… anyone got any hints for getting the mouse to work in the console? Totally out of ideas now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oli-j Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Ok - so I installed the kexts in crab hunter's ps2.zip from this thread and the install is now proceeding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oli-j Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Well, it kept hanging in the end and I gave up. I'm no expert at this so perhaps someone else can have a go. I thought it might have happened by now given the success that people are having on the amd development forum for ML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
