Leopard in VMWare

[foobz]

I tried for a couple full days now to get Leopard installed in VMWare and ultimately have failed. I tried installing directly from DVD, tried installing on disk (succeeded!) then ripping disk to vmdk. In vmware, same result in every case, kernel panic. Panic in kernel booted from DVD and panic when booting from kernel in installed image ripped to vmdk.

 

I am using iDeneb v1.3. Host OS is Ubuntu 8.10. Installs fine directly on computer. Tiger runs fine. Leopard always kernel panics.

 

Has any one succeeded in doing this? If so can you tell me where this appliance can be downloaded? (torrent or rapidshare, etc)? Anyone know of a working leopard VM available for download?

 

Or anyone know how to get around the kernel panic (I can post more details as needed if someone has ideas)? I found some info about setting the processor's execution mode to Intel-VT instead of automatic but I'm using the free VMWare server and I couldn't figure out how to set those options, even if they are possible in the free vmware server.

 

I did find a pre-made Tiger appliance but I really need Leopard. For now I'll just dual boot to Leopard as needed but I really want vmware.

 

Thanks in advance for any help

bump. This is depressing. Has no one succeeded in getting Leopard to run in a VM? {censored} I hope that isn't the case.

If a few hours wait is depressing, i suggest self-medicating. It works for me.
