tibetfreedom Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I am trying to run XP on a Virtualisation package under a vanilla OSX 10.5.6 installation, using the EFI boot partition method... XP installs fine, it runs fine ... but installing XP SP3 crashes the OS X Kernal... so does installing other software sometimes... What is going on ??? Has anyone seen this ??? I am desperate thanks... 10.5.6 Pentium Dual Core 1.8 GHZ 6GB RAM SATA Drives... OS X Is totally solid, Time machine works etc... No Crash logs appear...

Beerkex'd Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm not sure if this is for VMWare only but I think your kernel must be named mach_kernel, it can't be mach_kernel.voodoo for example. Try renaming the kernel, you can do so from terminal. Can't hurt anything. I don't think you have to reboot. But, if needed, make sure to modify the boot.plist accordingly before you do.
