high_sign Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hello fellow members of the form, As you may have guessed, I have a bit of a problem. Being that I am unfimilar with OSX, logic dictated that the safest route was to use a Vmware "image". My thanks must go to PCWiz (leo4vmware) and gnubeard (VmacTools) for their hard work. Being that I am realitivly new to OSX (other than some time trying to use the "deadmoo" image of Tiger OSX), my first action was to update, which caused a kernel panic. Is there a way to safely update? The process to reach the panic was a follows: Strangely, the Ethernet driver "worked but not" with out patching. But who am I to complain, it worked at least. One simply had to restart the VM with the connection as bridged not bridged with "replicate physical network connection state. It must be noted that this was with a router (automatic DHCP).This is using VMware workstation 6.5.0 build-118166. Although it seems to be patched already... Updates were downloaded in a seemingly normal manner... Remote desktop client (I should probably uninstall this, somehow...) 608MB package of updates The obligatory restart -> kernel panic Maby I have missed a few important steps. I was under the impression that everything was patched to fully work with a virtualized hardware. I do fear that some sort of kernal swap had occurred as part of that 608MB package. Dependent snapshots will save one's bacon in such situtations. Possibly asked questions: Q) Why is one of your picture albums called `Crapple'? A) No athlon support + if you had to deal with zeliots (on a personal, face to face level) you would learn to hate Windows, Linux and OSX. Especially when one has friendly relations with each, things go wrong fast than you can say "blood feud". The albums of `Winblowz' and `Tuxsux' will be added later on. Q) OMG where did you find [some application name here]?!? A) http://######.com/index.php?option=...3&Itemid=32 VMwareTools.zip (contains .iso image) CRC32: B553A30E MD5 (128bit): 42C3B536503E4CF6600149E25277805F Haval: A6BFF800D5197F082426D5026DB86A9301643629C015EC93E25F62BB758349D2 RipeMD-160: 888D6EEEEB20EC71D774EA2CF6CF3A9C977F976A SHA-160: C1E01089AE29B7C80A155C048998BFDD850A90F3 Sha-256: 6150EBA2343DD48FD365336779A38B80EC939057FA724BFE39F545E04771BCAF You will not get a link to the torrent used nor hashes for it. Q) Did you try other distros of OSX? A) iATKOS v1.0i on the VM, JaS.10.4.8.Intel.SSE3.Only.Install.DVD on the physical computer, Tiger_for_x86pc_(by_Viper) on the VM. Only Tiger worked, the others refused to even install. As am image or burned to a dvd.

jjduro Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 the Apple update cannot be aplied without some patching. You shoul have read that before. We are not using real Macs, so... anyway, you need a kernel that can be used with your system. I recommend the Voodoo kernel Public release. Google for it. and use OSX86Tools to install if you don't know how to use a terminal. For the 10.5.5 update please read carefully this post, and use the patches. I hope it works for you:http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=109102 after updating, install the voodoo kernel amd system kext that comes with it.
