Sounds like you need a patch for VMWare 7. Download One: Mac_OS_X_Guest___VMWare_Patch.zip Mirror: http://www.mediafire.com/?21qehafqkz1w9hf What this patch does is add the option of Mac OS X Server to your chooses under VMWare. For a windows user, use the windows.bat file. If you have any other questions, consult the "read me" file. Enjoy.

netseeker Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 same old story : after patch the vmware with this one : "Mac OS X is not supported with software virtualization. To run Mac OS X you need a host on which VMware Workstation supports hardware virtualization." where as I enable the HW VT in bios. and for now I'm runing 10.5.5 but I want 10.6 for the sake of xcode 3.2. any help would be appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/269127-i-wana-install-osx-161-1062-amd-modified-ver-on-vmware-7-on-a-windwos-7-64-but-i-cant-help/#findComment-1753764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredill Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The solution you proposed help me get to the installer, installing now. If the OS will work later I will reply again or edit this reply. [The Installer finished successfully. The system doesn't load] My System: CPU: i3 2310M 2.10GHz (Virtualization enabled) RAM: 4GB - 2x2GB Samsung, DDR3-1333 667 MHz HDD: 500GB Hitachi GPU: nVidia GeForce 315M - 1GB DDR3 WIFI: Atheros AR9002WB-1NG LAN: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller RTL8139/810x AUDIO: Realtek ALC269 MB: Toshiba Satellite C660 Chipset: Intel Sandy Bridge-MB IMC BIOS: AMI EFI I've tried several times installing it normally (from boot etc etc.) but no luck, I don't know why it panics. I asked for help here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=269301 but it seems like no one wants to reply or know the answer. I was hoping you could have a look at that. Thanks!

I had this issue to. I found that if I rushed through the install screen and boot up screens, I would get a KP. What I do is take ten seconds switching back and forth between boot CD and Hard Disk (or Install DVD). Then finally do the -v flag, and it works! Strange I know, but that's just my observation.
