AheadOSX Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hi there, interesting, but it pretty quickly panics on my machine. Gets as far as the black-apple-on-grey. Could you perhaps check which build of VMWare 6.5 beta you were using? (And I assume there is only a single JaS 10.5.2 floating around?) Thanks a lot!

mcgyver100 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Hey uniqueOSX, I had the same/very similar issues with VMware as you do. However, I don't have a Sony Vaio but a LG P300 with Penryn cpu. On a freshly installed Windows XP system (with just the graphics driver installed) Jas 10.5.2 would install and boot just fine using Vmware 6.5 beta. Same goes for Leo4VMware image by ~pcwiz. After I installed some programms it didn't boot anymore. I found the culprits to be the "Cisco VPN Client" a programm called "Battery Miser" and the "Zonelabs Zonealarm firewall". When preventing these 3 programs from starting everything works flawlessly for me. So if one of them is installed on your system try removing/disabling them. If that doesn't work you could create a 2nd partition and do a fresh Windows installation on that partition and install just the graphis driver. Then try VMware on that partition. There might be other progamms besides the three that I found which cause the CPU error. Good luck, mcgyver100 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/102064-tutorial-install-jas-1052-on-vmware-workstation-65/page/2/#findComment-733990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniqueOSX Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 mcgyver100, I will give that a try. I have a VPN Client. I am not sure what other programs, but I will try disable it and see if that works. Thanks for the help!

Donk Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well been starting to see some issues with longer term use of this combination. 1. The new feature on ungrabbing the screen can cause the Leopard guest OS to lock-up. You need to change the setting mentioned here http://communities.vmware.com/thread/137452?tstart=0 here in WS 6.5 beta to ensure that bit is safe. 2. Network transfers also seem to cause a lock-up - tried doing a Software Update on just iTunes and after a period trying to download the guest locks up. I will investigate further and keep you all posted. In the meantime if you see something similar let me know.

fairaghi Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well, my HP NC6400 is a Core2 only and doesn't support VT. So I changed 'darwin-64' to 'darwin' in vmx file but i'm still getting stuck exactly at the same point as uniqueOSX. Any suggestion ? Donk, you did a great job anyway ! Thanks. Nando.

nfshp253 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Which build of VMware Workstation 6.5 are you using? when I boot up from the dvd iso image, it stops with an application error dialog popup, which says that this version of Workstation 6.5 BETA has problems and I have to contact VMware. Can you upload your version which is working to somewhere? And when I try out with Workstation 6.0.3 with default configurations (darwin-64), they give this error message: Guest operating system 'darwin-64' is not supported. Please select a guest operating system from the General page on the Options tab of Virtual Machine Settings. When I change 'darwin-64' in the configuration file to 'darwin' or 'others' and launch VMware again, it will start up and go boot to the apple logo on grey background and load for a while, before appearing this error message: You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button. How the hell do I solve these problems? And I hope you can upload your build of VMware Workstation 6.5 somewhere. Anyway, great guide and great effort!

Donk Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well I have close contacts with VMware so won't upload the software but it is build e.x.p build-84113 running on Windows XP SP3. Do you have an earlier one? This guide is only for WS6.5, as it won't work on 6.0.3 or earlier. The darwin-64 setting is new to Workstation 6.5, Server 2 beta 2 and I think it is now in Fusion 2 beta 1. The download registration I used is here http://communities.vmware.com/community/beta/ace2.5. Do you have the error message to hand? It maybe something simple.

fairaghi Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 sssharer, there isn't a mach_kernel.toh... only the mach_kernel.orig, that sounds as the original by Apple... Nando.

mtl171 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 where can you get the install disk? i applied to be a beta tester but didn't get a reply.

~pcwiz Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Try with "mach_kernel.toh -v" at boot prompt. That's only with my Leo4VMware package. What mach_kernel.toh does is it calls a backup kernel to boot the system because a lot of on VMware the kernel goes corrupt, happened to me a few times. where can you get the install disk? i applied to be a beta tester but didn't get a reply. Someone publicly made available the torrent for JaS 10.5.2 on the bay.

Donk Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 nfshp253 - Are you using the setup we have running? If not you will almost certainly get the triple fault. Workstation 6.5 beta VT enabled processor JaS 10.5.2 @ndres - you need to enable VT in the BIOS of your host machine. The message tells you the basics. Once you have done that in the BIOS you MUST remove power from the machine say for 10-15 seconds, and then power back on again. Apparently the MSR settings can hold the previous setting if only a warm reboot is carried out. There are some machines that are VT enabled but have poor manufacturer and BIOS support so if it is an HP or Sony you may be out of luck.

NSCXP2005 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi Donk, I have an HP laptop, I have enabled the VT in the BIOS, do I have to switch of the system for 10-15 seconds and then VT will be enabled?

Donk Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yes if this is the first time you have changed it. Physically remove all power from the machine. EDIT: Actually I meant to say you need to do this everytime you change the BIOS setting.

Donk Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Ahh I had that problem with MacDrive. I actually used the ISO image directly inside VMware. You need to edit the CD-ROM setting and point to the ISO you downloaded and ensure it is connected at startup in the guest.

@ndres Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I've deleted the ISO image... ¿Is there a way to make an ISO image from that drive? Anyway, I'm downloading the ISO, once again...

Donk Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 I use UltraISO to create images from CD/DVD. But again I had a problem trying to do that with MacDrive running. You might also get it running by temporarily disabling MacDrive and then using the actual DVD rather than the ISO.

I tried the usual Windoze tools as MagicISO, PowerISO, but they don't work... Any suggestion.. ? Thanks !! Nando.
