saerdna1 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I've installed OSX on VMWare 5.5.1. i used the 10.4.5 prepatched DVD. Now i can't boot direct from my virtual HD in VMWare... -> kernel stack failure so i boot with the prepatched DVD -> F8 -> and use mach_kernel.nonx OK, OSX86 will boot up. hmmmm Now my question: how can i change the mach_kernel on my installation to mach_kernel.nonx ? On the DVD there are ppf patches.. how can i apply such patches ? is there a prepached kernel for nonx ? thanks andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saerdna1 Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 10kelvin thanks for your response .... i got the mach_kernel from OSX and my HEX Editor on Win shows the Part "VMWare edits" is included, but the Part "Base edits" is not as shown. hmmm.. i can modify this on my Windows, but how can i copy this new kernel in my OSX installation ? i got this kernel from OSX to a smb share ... andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
