Scrumps Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have been fiddling around with trying to get Mac OS X installed in a Virtual Machine (VMWare and Virtualbox), with the base system being an AMD machine. I was told to come here. So.. that is what I did. <img src="style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />Hope to find out some information. Originally I was following this guide for the VMWare installation, however, after no such luck and only getting errors in VMWare... I decided to use VirtualBox. I got farther in VirtualBox, to the point that I could install, and after it rebooted, it went into a Kernel Panic. VMWare Guide: VirtualBox Guide: Kernel Panic: So, now I am at a loss.

DrunkMechanicnHacker Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 id use the nawcom mod boot cd. google it. its how i installed it on my AMD. use the latest legacy kernel (legacy_kernel 10.5.0) lets get some specs of your system. processor, motherboard, chipset, video card, audio card, etc. also, maybe you mentioned it, maybe not. how are you installing? from a retail snow leopard dvd, or from a distro? ive noticed the nawcom boot cd makes it easier to install than a distro, because it typically auto-selects your chipset drivers and kernel, unlike with a distro. i have an AMD hackintosh running almost 100%, just trying to figure out the cause of some QE/CI lag. in other words: ill help you get yours going!

Gringo Vermelho Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Read again, he's asking for help installing OS X in a virtual machine, not on real hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkMechanicnHacker Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Read again, he's asking for help installing OS X in a virtual machine, not on real hardware. yeah, wouldnt he be able to use a boot cd on a VM to get it installed? im fully aware that he is attempting to install on a VM, not real hardware. i just hope i dont sound stupid by suggesting a boot cd for a VM to boot off..
