VoeN Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey There! I'v tried to get Mac OS x86 Leopard working on VMware and I'm using Leopard patched with 9a581 GM by BrazilMac. When i tryed using the .iso file, i failed trying to install. They error i recive is " PXE-E53: No boot filename recive ", " Operating system not found ". Anyone got any tips. Is there a chance that the patch did not work? Appreciate any help / suggestions. Yours Thankfully, SaiN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denicio Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I also tried on VMWare Workstation 6.0.2, but as soon as the Apple logo appeared I got a message from it saying that the CPU requested to reset or something similar. That's as far as I got using the same image as well: BrazilMac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I do recall there was someone who did manage to install Leopard on VMware but I can't recall the name... He used kalyway 9a527 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocczzz Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi i installed Leopard on my VMWare Workstation and when i strat the virtual machine i get the following error: "Virtual Machine Kernel stack fault (hardware reset)" Anyone can help me to solve this problem? Thank you Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starblob Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I get the kernel stack and cpu reset error when loading from the disc... it looks like it happens when its about to load the apple logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganfreeman Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I tried changing from 1 processor to 2, then from a 64 bit os but it wont work. Stops at the apple logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry-W Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Are you guys using the ISO to boot from or a burned physical cd? Apple ISO's are split into two different filesystems, cant remember the specifics. Basically burn the disk and run vmware using the physical drive.

morganfreeman Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 No, VM ware is saying that the patched leopard burnt dvd in a physical drive is a 64 bit operation system and that it must be shut down and to change the VM ware settings to 64 bit, but then I cant even boot to 64 bit becaues it says it doesnt support my scsi / s-ata p-ata adapter for 64 or whatever. And Its impoosible to boot from the CD native, either with ACHI or IDE mode JMicron off and on, it still says Error loading loader.plist or whatever, it doesn't even say hit f8 for options or etc. Normally VMware always works 32 bit, boot physical CD in windows... but not anymore with leopard =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starblob Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 yeah tried from iso and actual dvd. doesnt work I cant use the dvd to actually install osx because my board doesnt support any osx versions, but it should work in vmware hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganfreeman Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 10.4 all works perfect on mine its just everytime i boot to a 32 bit like WINDOWS NT with the image it says "Youre running a 64 bit application" and my VMware doesnt support my scsi or whatever ide on p5b to do 64bit vmware. I have core 2 whats going on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starblob Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 yeah I fixed that by deleting that vmimage, and creating one on an ide drive. then I got the kernel stack error as its about ot load up the apple thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvangent100 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Used the flat image, kernel stack error right when the apple logo loads, too bad, as there is no way to load OSX (any version) on my Pc native, as I have a raid 1 controller.

gex Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 use -legacy to force 32bit. Still get a kernel stack fault though! Using Brazil patch version with retail CD wonder if it would work with the SSE2 patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mactivist Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I've been trying the BrazilMac Leopard iso in VMware, and it's been giving me the stack fault thing too right at the apple logo. I figured it was because BrazilMac was for intel, and I'm have an AMD processor. (I have an unpatched Leopard DMG, and I am wondering where I would go for help to patch that for AMD.)

wmarsh Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 use -legacy to force 32bit. Still get a kernel stack fault though! Using Brazil patch version with retail CD wonder if it would work with the SSE2 patch? I think you are on the right track; kernel stack error happens after kernel goes into 64 bit mode. However, I don't think -legacy works with newer kernels. Try turning intel virtualization off in your BIOS and see if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gex Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Was able to get it to go through to the Kernel Stack Fault without the 32-bit error (or using -legacy) by selecting a 64 bit OS in VMWare Workstation 6...will try turning off virtualization and see if i can get any further.

mrjoe Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Well, installation goes fine, but upon reboot everything's messed up... I used Kalyway 9a527. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shagui Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Same for me using BrazilMac iso. The VM resets when apple logo appears. I'm using a Intel SSE3 processor (Xeon 3040). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakedy Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hmm, I feel like I need to give this a try. Can anyone get me a link for the "BrazilMac" iso? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensuke Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Just search the usual place, no links here. Although with Demonoid down it kinda sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borillion_star Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I also tried to boot Leopard in vmware, it yells about trying to run a 64 bit in 32 bit mode. When I use a 64 bit program and try to run it I get "Virtual Machine Kernel stack fault (hardware reset)" In a virtual machine does the processor you are running on top of matter, I have an AMD 5600 AM2 with sse3 ECS GeForce6100SM-M AM2 Motherboard, Should a virtual machine not be indiffrent to what physical processor your running on as long as it has the instruction sets? Ill try and run with the -legacy and see what happens. What is the best virtual machine to run it in a win64 or a freebsd64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizgiz Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've also got the BrazilMac 9a581 iso, got it burned and mounted, tried -legacy mode, gets rid of the 64-bit popup, but still, there's a hardware stack fault... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuelmatheu Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hi everyone, here is the link to download the BrazilMac (i don't know why it has that name..) [REMOVED] I tried to install via vmware too, but get the same error (64 bit operating system). Let's hope someone smarter post here a tutorial or guide to VMware Leopard.
