Zappza Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi! When i try to run OSx x86 with my Developer DVD or the HDD Image where I have installed OSx with PPC,in VMWare it wont boot and i get the message "This hardware configuration isn't compitable with Darwin/x86". Why is this coming up? My Specs are: ASUS K8N-E, nForce 250gb AMD64 3200+ s754 SSE2 1536mb of RAM I have tried xplOdes guide and have gotten to step 2: Install VMware, create new virtual machine using (Cutom > New - VMware 5 format > "Other" for both OS & Versoin > call it anything > set whatever amound of ram you want VMware to use > bridged networking > Buslogic > Use a physical hard disk > Select which Disk you want to use (if you don't know which is which, right click on My Computer, click Manage, click Disk Management and check there) also make sure you use the entire disk that's why it must be a spare HD > name the disk file "Mach.vmdk" > Finish. Attach darwinx86-801.iso to the CD-ROM and boot the virtual machine, press Escape & select CD-ROM and type "1" to select VMware virtual HD, "2" to select manually partition, "3, "y" to initialize partition tables (if such option exists, if not skip), then type "auto hfs" then "update" then "write" then "quit" then "/dev/disk0s1" then "yes" then "Tiger" for the Desired Volumename. It should give you an error and ask you to reboot, do so and press Escape select CR-Rom again, "1" to select VMware virtual HD, "1" Auto partition, type "hfs" then "y" then "yes" then "Tiger" for Desired Volumename and it will install Darwin (~10mins) reboot when finished but stop the virtual machine before it boots up Thats were im stuck Tnx for all answers!
