Jas10.4.8 get stuck on grey apple screen

Hi there!

I tried to install Jas 10.4.8 with the intel patch from image Mac.OS.X.v10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3_by.JaS.iso

Installation goes ok until first reboot: at reboot time it get into the grey screen with the apple in the middle and after one minute the rotating indicator stops. All blocked. I see the cd and HD icons of VMware flashing also when the screen is stuck, but after some minute them also stop flashing.

I tried to:

- change guest OS

- change some configuration on the vmx file

- reinstall another time

- tried to access the command line pressing win key+S or alt+s (they say one of them should be the apple key) but nothing happened

No success.

I use VMware 5, Jas 10.4.8 kernel 8.1.1, intel core 2 duo 945PM with ATI mobility1300, 1GBram.

 

I don't know, maybe it's silly: the installation iso has nvidia patch but no ATI patch, maybe I need it? And how I add it to the installation?

 

And what about the console? how can I get access to it? With my problem I can't really do nothing else than running and stopping the VM... or reinstalling :wacko:

 

Hope you experienced something similar, here is my vmx as VMware configured it :angry:

you might want to try different configuration on vmware, i think its a setting in vmware thats

not correct ,cause i have been having the same problem for three days just reinstalling and trying different setting on vmware it to see it get stuck on the gray apple logo ,until it finally boot to the destktop. now i only problem i got is no internet connection.

 

btw. i use daemon tools, vmware costume install and legacy option the rest is all default (might not work for u)
