XenonKilla Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 How come I have to leave the DVD ISO mounted otherwise Leopard won't boot? The only way it will boot is if leave the ISO mounted and let if get past the BOOT FROM CD COUNTDOWN. I tried changing the guestOS to freebsd which makes Leopard boot without the ISO mounted but then it crashes when trying to boot and gives me an error message saying "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point." Any ideas?

jerryyyyy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Damn 5 months and still no reply... Hummmm I posted a question yesterday. Guess it will not help to wait. I cannot get a retail version of Leopard to install in VMware but it seems to be because my disk does not get mounted properly. Can I ask what settings you are using for your disk?

XenonKilla Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Use iPC 10.5.6 PPF5, it actually works GREAT with the exception of the issue I am having. I am still able to boot just fine but I have to keep the ISO mounted otherwise it won't boot.
