chenzhu_an Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hi, I made myself an iso image by using the instructions on http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293481-how-to-create-a-bootable-iso-from-the-mavericks-installesddmg/ Then, I created a brand new VM from my vSphere client on my ESXi 5.5, and used the above iso file to boot. Everything is booting fine, but the installation failed. I got the following error messages in /var/log/install.log: Oct 23 09:04:01 Mac OSInstaller[393]: Disabling system idle sleep.

Pimentel Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hello My honestly opinion is that you create a new usb bootable to install OSX in HDD not i VM VM has a virtual hardware,when you install OSX in HDD you get a real hardware perfomance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
