i tried to install osx mavericks using vmware 8 / windows 7 ... Ich bypassed the vertualization becuase my computer doesnt support that and when i start the machine i get EFI VMware virtual scsi hard drive (0.0) unsuccessful.. So i deleted the line "firmware=efi" from the .vmx file and i got it to boot but now i get stuck at loading darwin x/86 ... And nothing happens... I tried f8 and then -v and cpus=1 and so on but also nothing happened ... I would be very greatful if you could help me! I really love to get that os!

Thanks a lot!

It would be helpful if you gave us details of how you tried to install Mavericks. My guess is that you installed it incorrectly (or didn't install it), thus the failed boot.

 

You can try following the instructions here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290949-how-to-install-os-x-10x-snow-leopard-lion-mountain-lion-and-mavericks-in-vmware-workstation-910-or-player-56/?hl=%20install%20%20mavericks

 

This is simpler and also works: http://www.sysprobs.com/guide-install-os-x-10-9-mavericks-on-vmware-workstation-with-windows-7-or-windows-8

You realize thread is from March 2014? What you suggest it not likely to be the same issue & fix the person had in 2014. :) And your VMware Workstation version is likely many major versions newer than 8.x. :)
