no1youknowz Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I installed Jas 10.4.8 onto a VMWare 5.5.3 machine. Now, on the first reboot I get 2 problems. 1) display: family specific matching fails 2) kextd[27]: kextd_watch_volumes: couldnt set up diskarb Im pretty sure these 2 are the reasons why I cant boot into the OS. This is a clean install. Can anyone help? Thanks Is there any other fix than this? : http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...&hl=diskarb -------------- Well that didnt work, so tried this and still no luck http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=230121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1youknowz Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Kinda given up for now, am re-installing, only selecting the Intel ktars or whatever they are (yes i really am that newbish) Seeing if this works. I been looking at this site and havent found any clear and concise tutorials for getting this to work with VMWare. Can anyone pm me something in demon or sealand that works with vmware 5.5.3? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1youknowz Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 You proably installed it, but you havent done the verbose mode, which is what I am doing. There are alot of errors and I would like to fix them and I would actually like to have networking installed lol. No point to have it otherwise.

gnubeard Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 lol whats with all of you using Vmware accually install it i did and it worked i had no internet but still it worked no internet or sound though even when i put on the drivers MacOSX under VMware is quite useful, if slow. I have little interest in running MacOSX natively on my PC. Linux works fine for that, thank you very much. I do have an interest in writing code that works on Linux, MacOSX and Windows, however. With VMware running Windows and MacOSX for me, I can write and debug for all three platforms simultaneously with no reboots. Even when I'm on the train ride home. Frankly, its great. This isn't to say that I don't WANT a native install of MacOSX. I do, very much. And, Apple Inc. will do it for me, for free, when I buy my Macbook. Then I'll run Windows and Linux in VMware or Parallels, or whatever and proceed the same way -- except I'll be using Aquamacs instead of Emacs. <shrug> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
