LYNCHx6c4 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 i tried to install osx mavericks using vmware 8 / windows 7 ... Ich bypassed the vertualization becuase my computer doesnt support that and when i start the machine i get EFI VMware virtual scsi hard drive (0.0) unsuccessful.. So i deleted the line "firmware=efi" from the .vmx file and i got it to boot but now i get stuck at loading darwin x/86 ... And nothing happens... I tried f8 and then -v and cpus=1 and so on but also nothing happened ... I would be very greatful if you could help me! I really love to get that os!Thanks a lot!

distro Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It would be helpful if you gave us details of how you tried to install Mavericks. My guess is that you installed it incorrectly (or didn't install it), thus the failed boot. You can try following the instructions here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290949-how-to-install-os-x-10x-snow-leopard-lion-mountain-lion-and-mavericks-in-vmware-workstation-910-or-player-56/?hl=%20install%20%20mavericks This is simpler and also works: http://www.sysprobs.com/guide-install-os-x-10-9-mavericks-on-vmware-workstation-with-windows-7-or-windows-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinsonkv Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I also had the same issue. Check the attached image. The issue was with windows 2019 client OS. Finally, I fixed it by changing the firmware type from UEFI to BIOS mode. Hope this will work for you also.

Naki Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) You realize thread is from March 2014? What you suggest it not likely to be the same issue & fix the person had in 2014. And your VMware Workstation version is likely many major versions newer than 8.x. Edited April 17, 2020 by Naki grammar/clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
