flobors Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I've been looking all over the place for a resolution to this problem, but the only ones I can find are the ones on VMWare Fusion for Macs. I'm running VMWare Workstation 7.0 on Windows 7 with an AMD CPU. I am getting this error: "the guest operating system is not mac os x server" I've run the VMWare patch. Tried rebooting and re-running the patch. Still no dice. Anyone have any insight on this problem? And what to do to fix it on an AMD Windows 7 system running VMWare workstation 7? Is it even possible to resolve this problem on an AMD CPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckirkp79 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 You have 3 options possibly that I can honestly think of that may help you as I am on an AMD as well. 1. Update Workstation 7.0 to 7.1.4 and then rerun donk's guest os patch 2. Find a pre-built snow leopard that has AMD/Intel Listed. I can use 10.6.6 it's almost 3gig in size 3. iAtkos S3 V2 also works for me-it's 10.6.2 but I've updated it all the way to 10.6.7 using legacy kernel's. If you list more info on your specs I'm sure someone here could possibly help you.

But now I'm getting an error that says: "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point." So I'm still stuck. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
