bookemdano Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes we know it is broken and no solution currently. Doh! I'm an idiot and didn't think to research this before installing updates today on my Lion install under ESXi 5.0 (latest patch using Donk's unlocker). Everything seemed to install OK but now it hangs at the Apple logo screen. 100% my fault... I can't believe I didn't at least take a snapshot first. OK, so mea culpa! Any possible way to fix this (can I boot into that Lion Recovery partition and do anything?) or should I bide my time and wait for a solution? Or is this pretty much going to come down to "blow out the VM and re-install from scratch?" Fortunately I wasn't really using the VM for much, but still I'd invested about five hours getting it installed, updated, and configured. Really really dumb that I didn't take a snapshot. Much appreciate any advice.

Chaz_U4ea Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yes we know it is broken and no solution currently. I am having the same issue on VMWare Workstation 7 following the installation from the pkg file (not the update utility). I have snapshots before and after if evaluating them would help.

jarodsix Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 add npci=0x2000 into com.apple.Boot.plist of the disk you are trying to boot. You can use e.g. the lion boot DVD to get into your "dead" VM and use Terminal to edit /Volumes/<name of your disk drive>/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist Next you still have the LSI kext problem: AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext replace that with the one from 10.7/10.7.1, again use DVD to do that. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...70140&st=20 edit: +1 mouse problem: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=270215 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/269777-lion-1072-gm-in-vmware-8-doesn%C2%B4t-start/#findComment-1761794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
