If you want to run natively then select an physical hard disk otherwise create a new virtual disk.

Select the packages which your host support if you want to run natively. Otherwise dont select any package if you want to run on vmware.

 

post-217105-1248717357_thumb.jpg

Grab a cup of coffee until the installation is finished. If you want to run natively stop the virtual machine after reboot and restart your host machine and boot from the physical disk in which you have done your installation. Have fun !!!!!!!! :star_smile:

Hi..Abhilash.

Having some problem here...When I try to start virtual machine it shown nothing the whole screen goes blank. When I try to close it after some time like 15minutes then also it says that VM Mac...10.5.7...is busy.

And where you said (Browse the ISO file of iDeneb 10.5.7.) there its hard to understand where to browse so I try cd dvd rom there is a option for ISO file.

Is there any thing wrong...there should I have to do some thing els

 

I try to follow every thing as you said and my mobo is 680i sli XFX.

I've followed your instructions, but it didn't work. I got a ACPI error and the CPU is disabled. I'm using Vmware Workstaion for Windows ver 6.5.2 build-156735. Can you let me know which version you have?

 

Here is the screen capture of the error message.

Hi Abhilash...Images are again start working..Thanks..

In "select a physical Disk" my pc is showing Physicaldrive0 whether in your pc it shows Physicaldrive1 is that the problem????

thanks

 

 

Hi john steel.. I have two disks one with xp installed and other one is empty.. In this case i am installing on physical drive 1 which is empty.

 

Remember that if you i have only one disk and want to install it on a partition then select that partition in vmware, not the whole disk..

If you have the ISO file of iDeneb 10.5.7 then click browse and goto that file and select it..

Hi abhilash...ya I have Ideneb 10.5.7 and Actually I did browse to it but I don't know why its not showing any thing "blank".

bye...I am clueless... :(

 

check whether you have selected boot from cd in vmware.... if it is correct then mount your iso using daemon tools and check the files whether they are present or not...

I'm installing it on an VM hdd IDE (15gb)

I got everything correct till booting.. but i used this command: busratio=20 -v

because without it, it was restarting again and again...

 

after that, it shows me iDeneb background and shows me a loading animated cursor (pinwheel) but doesn't show me the language selecting dialogue...

 

it is just loading and loading something.. i don't know whether its doing something or not...

 

please tell me what to do?

 

My Specs:

Pentium 4 HT 3.06Ghz (i selected 1 number of processors instead of 2)

Motherboard: P5B-MX (wifi)

2GB RAM

Why did you select 1 if you have 2 cores..???

 

no need to use busratio=20 all that.. please carefully follow the tutorial .. you will be error free..

without busratio=20 it simply restarts just after i enter the command..

and i think pentium 4 has only 1 core... any way, i selected 2 with busratio=20, it showed me this screen (errors attached)

Did you check the processor instructions whether your processor is SSE3 and EM64T supported..

Intel Celeron M has SSE2 technology, compatible with MAC OS X.

In the past, I installed leopard, but it was the version 10.5.1.

 

thanks for help

i also had the same problem...

i said even if i select 1 core, it passes the booting problem and shows me this screen (attached) and its not doing anything else...just the cursor is animating...
