hi everyone,

 

this is my first time posting in the forum so i hope that im exposing the topic correctly  :)

 

 

i have recently installed worksation pro 12.0.1 build-3160714 on Win7 X64

 

i am trying to run OSX yosmite through ISO image

 

already ran Unlocker 207 succefully.

 

Added smc.version = "0" to the config.ini in C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation.

 

when i try to run the v machine i got this error;

==================================================

 

VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)

 

vcpu-0:VERIFY vmcore/vmm/main/physMem_monitor.c:1178

====================================================

 

i tried to repatch vmware to the default via win-uninstall then remove the machine, then patch again after that recreate again the virtual machine 

and i have the same error few seconds after the start up.

 

VT-X (Hardware Virtualisation) is ON ; i ran already W 2008 R2 and W2012 R2 with no issue.

 

sure i miss something but don't know where

 

i saw in many posts adding smc.version = "0" in vmx file but didn't find that file,doing what i described above is it correct ?

 

Any ideas ?

 

 

i was tring to upload the log in txt format but the site reject it and display that im not permitted to upload this kind of file

 

 

thanks in advance for your help

what cpu do you have? AMD or Intel?
No the only thing needed to do is: run unlocker, add  smc.version = "0" and that should be it and of course run a "patched"dmg of yosemite so its bootable in vmware.

Do you have a bootable version of yosemite that works with vmware?

Mavericks, yosemite and el capitan needs a bootable dmg.

thanks for your reply,

 

My CPU is InteL Pentium N3540 @ 2.16GHz

 

i used to get an iso image of Yosmite that i downloaded from internet and i (load) it as usuall when i create the osx machine in vmware ( same as i done with Windows server 20XX).

 

if it could not work like this , how can i get or convert the iso image that i have to a bootable one if it  is possible ?

Open the folder with the OS X guest you are trying to run and open the VMX file you should find there in a text editor. Then add the smc line.

 

If you are using VMware Player or Workstation on Windows you may get a core dump.


Latest Linux and ESXi products are OK and do not show this problem.

I have a similar problem as Med ben A, except that I am running my vm on Workstation Player 12 in Ubuntu 15.10 on a Dell 7010 and I don't know how to get verbose output upon startup to know where the problem is. When I create a new machine, add the smc.version = "0" to the newly created vm, and then try to install Yosemite from a DMG file, the installer starts up but freezes about 1/4 of the way. When I create a vm on my Mac mini running Ubuntu 15.10, it runs OK. When I transfer that vm to the Dell and run it from a suspended state it runs OK. But if I then try to restart it on the Dell, it hangs about a minute after the Apple menu appears. This happens even after I have edited the vmx and added smc.version = "0" to it, and it happens whether the vm is Snow Leopard, Mavericks or Yosemite (all of which run OK on my Mac mini running Ubuntu 15.10). My version of Player on both the mini and the Dell have been patched with Unlocker 2.0.7. Is there something else I have to do to the VMX file to get it to pass the "Mac test" and start up on the Dell PC?

There was a bug in 2.0.7 with the installer on Player for Linux. Try using 2.0.8.

Attach the vmware.log file and the vmx file. Please do not copy inline but use the upload files option.
