blade567890 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I recently downloaded a retail image of OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion so that I could run it as a virtual machine on my windows desktop. It is powered by a AMD Phenom 8400 Triple Core processor, and has currently 4gb of ram. Whenever I try to boot up the VM in Workstation 9 I get "The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS" error. and then it will not go any farther into setup. I have found a bunch of suggestions for resolution however none have resolved the problem. I have tried: Editing the configuration document cupid.1.etcetcetc Editing the GuestOS to darwin instead of freebsd Setting it to 2048 gb of ram instead of 1024 Setting it to one process instead of 2 Any further ideas on what I can do? I was hoping to use this as a server for my apple TVs and eventually to host an email server. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 This kind of images won't run on AMD CPUs. You need to add a patched kernel to the image, but i don't know how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
