Ketz Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hi, Like the title says, I have an OS86x partition running on my system. It works well, apart from the occasional hang up. What I'd like to do is to run that same installation, from VMWare on Windows 7. I've gotten as far as to see the Chameleon loader GUI, asking for the boot options, etc. When I press "boot", it starts running a few lines and then VMware says: "a virtual cpu has entered the shutdown state" and halts. I've done a bit of research, but can't find a solution for this problem, especially considering I'm running from the partition, not a fresh install. However, if I try to do a clean install, as soon as it runs the DVD, it throws the same error. Any ideas? I have an Intel Quad Core processor and am allocating 1 core (but tried all other configs). Thanks in advance, Andre Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208856-how-can-i-run-an-os86x-installation-on-vmware-from-the-partition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketz Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 No ideas guys? I have to start developing an iPhone app in xCode, which will only run on a Mac, but need to keep the windows environment open at the same time. I could really use your help.

Thanks in advance, Andre If you look at some of my posts above, I am trying to do a similar thing. I get into the GUI but it does not appear to see my disk as I get in interminable loop "examining" disks. What set of instructions are you following? I am following "VMware OS X Guest Package" and downloaded the required batch files. I had more errors until I realized VT-x was not enabled in my BIOS. Did you check that?

Ketz Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Is the VT-x in the VMware bios? Or on the PC one? I can't find it in the VMware bios and haven't checked the pc one :/ I have downloaded those files, but have no idea what to do with them :x Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/208856-how-can-i-run-an-os86x-installation-on-vmware-from-the-partition/#findComment-1397667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
