G'day,

 

Firstly, thanks for even reading this post, it proves the power of the internet and the communities that power projects online such as this!

 

I'm trying to run Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard 10A432 Universal v3.5 virtual on my machine, however I continue to get stuck at the Apple grey logo (it sits for over half an hour and does nothing).

 

I have tried VirtualBox, VMWare and Virtual PC, all to no avail, and have tried a machine with an Intel Core2Duo E6750 and nVidia graphics, and another machine with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 which has an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card.

 

The same errors are coming up on both machines, but another machine using the same disc works fine (when booted up normally, NOT through virtual machine).

 

A few things I have tried, both using FreeBSD and Windows NT, enabling paevm="true" in VMWare and ticking the appropriate box in Virtual Box, and a few other things such as -s which caused a black screen to stay on the screen.

 

Any ideas, tips, tricks, hints, etc would be greatly appreciated! And hey, if you have no flipping clue, thanks for reading and giving it a go!

You should really try searching first...

Hi ianr,

 

I appreciate the time you took to reply to my message.

 

I can assure you I have done as much searching as I possibly could, including reading and attempting to follow the instructions in that post. I am still experiencing the issues I mentioned in my first post.

 

Thank you.

I had a try at installing SL on vmware 6.5.3 myself and had no luck. I know that Vmware 7 is at the RC stage, so maybe when it is finally released things might work better.

 

 

You mention what vid card you are using, but it should make no difference, the SL installer will only see the hardware that the VM program presents to it. Normally the only real hardware is the CPU.

 

Cheers,
