TonyKL Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I've installed Snow Leopard on my Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P and all is working fine and happy except that when I run VMWare Fusion it runs really really slow and sometimes crashes out. I don't have problems on any of my real Macs just the PC. Any ideas/required kexts? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userx Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 You should try to find VMware Fusion 3.0 beta. I heard if runs real good. I've tried to find it but can't at the moment. I'll post here if I come across it somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 It might run real good but it isn't available, anywhere, and I do mean anywhere if you get my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyKL Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Looking at the CPU usage when VMWare 2.0.5 runs a VM (Windows Server 2K3 in my case) one core runs at 100% - very odd :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollee23 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have the same issue with a P35-DS3P mobo. No workaround for now. Still searching ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have problems on any of my real Macs just the PC. Any ideas/required kexts? Cheers! I've the same problem with X38-DQ6 + Q6600 bios F8. If someone can get a diff between the non working DSDT and the good one it can help a lot for us to solve the problem To explain more one core is 100percent CPU with VMware or Parallels. Sometimes it is working but cant found why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totow Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I've the same problem with X38-DQ6 + Q6600 bios F8.If someone can get a diff between the non working DSDT and the good one it can help a lot for us to solve the problem To explain more one core is 100percent CPU with VMware or Parallels. Sometimes it is working but cant found why. I had the same problem with my EP35-DS4/7300GT/Q6600/NetGear GA311 and fixed it by creating the DSTD.aml from scratch. 1. I was lucky because I could start without DSDT.aml (based on Chameleon RC3). Ethernet ok. 2. com.apple.boot.plist device-properties created by using EFISTUDIO 3. Creation of new DSDT.aml using DSDT SE /iasl and addition of cmos fix (RTC) 4. Testing 5. Audio patch 6. ... other patches as necessary -> vmware fusion 2.0.6 running stable on SL 10.6.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugbug Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I've installed Snow Leopard on my Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P and all is working fine and happy except that when I run VMWare Fusion it runs really really slow and sometimes crashes out. I don't have problems on any of my real Macs just the PC. Any ideas/required kexts? Cheers! I had the same problem on a hack install that I moved from one machine to another(from a GA-P35-DS3P to a GA-EP45-UD3P Rev 1.6). Everything worked except for VMWare Fusion. It turns out the old DSDT.aml file from the previous install was conflicting somehow. After booting (Chameleon boot loader) with DSDT=/None.file I was able to bring up the VM w/o having it peg one of the CPUs in kernel mode (red bars in activity monitor). BTW I am running the FD bios revision with no problems. GA-EP45-UD3P Rev 1.6 FD Bios, Q6600, 8GB ram, bios defaults, dual 8800 GTS cards using 3 screens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
