mehere8 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hi, I am using WIndows 7 Professional 32 bit CPU: Celeron Duo Core T3500, 64-bit capable, no VT support so first of all, I used 'hardware virtualization bypasser' http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=256745&hl=hardware+virtualization then used 'Mac OS Guest Unlocker' http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1750629 in VMware workstation 8 coz i previously downloaded 'iatkos L2', I just used this iso to boot. However, it comes out an error 'A fault has occurred causing a virtual CPU to enter the shutdown state'. Googled it and did not find anything useful. Feel quite frustrated I just wondered if any step above is wrong? coz I heard that CPU with no VT support cannot install retail Lion dvd, can anyone give any advice on what to install for CPU with no VT support? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebus Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 NO, change the processor, if it is desktop then E6400 with VT costs only ~ £16 on ebay sebus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehere8 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 thx for ur reply, sebus unfortunately, it is a laptop~~ so 'hardware virtualization bypasser' cannot bypass the checking of VT? coz I read that cubez had installed mac os in VMware without hardware virtualization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collapsar Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 try to use the unlock patch first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehere8 Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 try to use the unlock patch first. yeah I used that patch first but it seems not work either. forget to point out that the msg from that patch is "1 out of 7 patterns replaced at least once." does it mean that this patch actually failed to bypass the req of hardware virtualization ?

collapsar Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It work for me, but there is no point doing it in fact. A CPU not supporting VT is usually too slow for vm to run Mac ox. I tried, and it seemed take forever to finish the installation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ifrit05 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 With a little work, you can find out what CPU's you laptop supports. Just look up the model's specs and usually the manual will list the CPU's it can use. BIOS updates sometimes enables more to be used. Then, cross reference that list with CPU's on Wikipedia to find out which ones suport VT-x. (in wikipedia, search for ((i.e.)) "list of core 2 duo microprocessors", replace the underlined words with you CPU family). Then after you find on you want, search on the internet to get one online or write it down and go to the nearest computer shop. One more thing, make sure the laptop actually CAN enable VT-x in the BIOS. If not, get a Vanilla capable CPU for OS X if your laptops Hardware is compatible.

mehere8 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 not sure if the replacement of CPU will incur compatability issues~~ consider assembling a desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Also if you are going to buy a new CPU or build a desktop you can future proof it by ensuring you have VT-x, VT-d and EPT enabled Intel processor and BIOS. If you want to run Mac OS X I would not recommend going the AMD route, although they do produce processors with equivalent features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
