XiN-eViL Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Ok, so I am trying to install OS X (tried both tubgirl 10.4.10 and kalyway 10.4.10) in VMWare. But when I boot from the DVD (tried both mounting in VMWare as in daemon-tools), it starts loading (I boot with -v, so I can see what's going on). But it looks like it hangs when trying to mount the dvd (it says "waiting for root device blabla". I waited for like half an hour, but it did not continue (not even a "still waiting for root device". I once installed OS X natively, that did work, but I don't want to do that now, I want it in OS X. Information that might be useful: VMWare Workstation 6 Running op Windows XP Professional AMD Athlon x2 3800+ (socket 939, not AM2) Asus a8n-sli 2 GB ram I think that is all usefull info . Who can help me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 First of all, 10.4.10 does not work with VMware so use something that does work like JaS 10.4.8. Then follow my guide: http://######.com/software/vmwareosx86.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then follow my guide: http://######.com/software/vmwareosx86.htm Ok I didn't know 10.4.10 did not work with VMWare . And I did follow your guide . I'll try with 10.4.8 or 10.4.9 tonight . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 It would be better to try JaS 10.4.8 than 10.4.9. 10.4.9 (mainly Uphuck) is still not fully compatible with OS X. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still had the 10.4.8 JaS dvd with which I installed it native once. But with this dvd, it does exactly the same. I made a printscreen to show you what I mean: I really don't understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Did you follow all the steps EXACTLY? Even a tiny mistake could screw things up. And also, in VMware is your virtual hard disk set to SCSI? Is so thats your problem. Create a new virtual machine as it says in my guide and make the guest OS Other or FreeBSD.

puppetj Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I dd follow the steps also, but i cant even get to the gui, i get a pop that mentions the dma which i attached, and then after i hit ok, my pc freezes, then i get a hardware hang BSOD, so now what?

~pcwiz Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 What is your host OS and what version of VMware are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppetj Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 host os, winxp pro sp2 and using version 6.02 that latest on site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppetj Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 So i guess using osx86 on vmware is a lie then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 NO IT IS NOT A LIE. Tons of people have gotten it to work, this is the rare case where it just plain doesn't work. It may have something to do with the fact that you have an AMD CPU, which although JaS supports, isn't as good as Intel. All I have to say is to follow the steps EXACTLY. One missing step and its down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppetj Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 LOL I don't have an amd, i have intel, and rmember its a dma issue, why i dunno...but i want it fixed...sounds like you where, just not going to help anymore..what about vbox or vpc 2007? or bochs? and i did follow the guide exactly.

~pcwiz Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Sorry...so you have an Intel CPU. But that doesn't really make a difference in this case, does it? Usually if you press OK on the DMA message it goes away and OS X will boot. I see a problem. You are using VMware Workstation 6.0.2. Versions 6.0.2 and 6.0.1 have some problems with OS X. Grab a copy of VMware Workstation 6.0 build 45731. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppetj Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 ok, ill try that, should mention that in your guide, and btw why did you think i had an amd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I will add that piece of info to my guide. I mistaked you for Xin-eVil (starter of this topic), who had an AMD. See, this type of confusion is what happens when you hijack someones topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppetj Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thought it would make, sense, i was told before to do this.about the "VMware Configuration File" your looks like nothing to mine, even if i add the lines you ask to add, why is this? can you upload it? and i'am confused about "#Note: Sometimes, the line scsi0.present="TRUE" won't work. Change it to scsi0.present="FALSE". However, on the test machine, this was not required." What do you mean??? "test machine"?? i did try this option and didnt help one drive i have the disc in i get the pboot list isnt found, UNLESS i hit f8 this type -v [enter], but i dont need to do this on my other dvd drive.???

~pcwiz Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Change your config file the way it says in my guide and you can't go wrong in terms of config. For the scsipresent = TRUE thing, I mean that SOMETIMES you have to change it to FALSE to make the VM work but when I was testing the guide, it was not required to change it to FALSE.

puppetj Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I cant just copy can paste the guide you have up, it a image, so please upload some where and give me the link. and do i need to change scsi?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 No no no...the instructions to modify the config file are IN THE GUIDE so you can do it yourself. And no you don't need to change SCSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppetj Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I know, BUT the screen shot you have up, is different then what you ask to add to the to the cfg, dont you understand what your saying you say, add these lines, BUT "it should look "SOMETHING" like this, so, like i ask please upload some where and give me the link, because i'am not typing that whole cfg file.

~pcwiz Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Argghhh....this is annoying trying to explain. PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE CONFIG FILE IS ALREADY MADE FOR YOU!!! ITS INSIDE THE VIRTUAL MACHINE FOLDER!! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ADD 1 or 2 LINES..IS IT HONESTLY THAT HARD?? Quote from my guide: Step 4: Edit VMware config file Navigate to the folder where you placed your virtual machine Open the "VMware Configuration File" with Notepad Add the line: paevm="true" to the end of the file Note: For networking in 10.4.8, add the line ethernet0.virtualDev="e1000" to the file ... THATS IT!! Just add the paevm="true" line to the file and if you want networking add the ethernet0.virtualDev="e1000" as well. Then save it and install. I REALLY HOPE YOU GET IT THIS TIME Sorry for the caps and screaming but I've said it at least 3 times now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppetj Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 No, the reason, you said it 3 times, is b/c your not listening or understanding what i'am typing. LIKE I SAID, IS THAT : YOUR CFG IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT MINE LOOKS LIKE, EVEN IF I ADD THOSE LINES YOU MENTION!!!!!!!!!!! DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

puppetj Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 UPDATE: it now boots to mac install gui, but at disk util, the vmware hd doesnt show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I know, BUT the screen shot you have up, is different then what you ask to add to the to the cfg, dont you understand what your saying you say, add these lines, BUT "it should look "SOMETHING" like this, so, like i ask please upload some where and give me the link, because i'am not typing that whole cfg file. See thats where you go wrong. You don't have to type it. Its already there. And if you followed the instructions properly you should be OK so stop worrying. Your current problem with the HD not showing up is probably because your virtual disk is set to SCSI. Change it to IDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppetj Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 change scsi to ide, where? That's not in you guide! change all scsi lines to ide u mean?? as for "See thats where you go wrong. You don't have to type it. Its already there. And if you followed the instructions properly you should be OK so stop worrying." I FOLLOWED THEN THE GUIDE MASTER LEFT IMPORTANT TIPS OUT!!!
