rogersstuart Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 My pc's specs: AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Processor CD-RW DVD-ROM 80GB HDD nVidia 5700 VE 512 MB of ram I am running vmware v5.0. I dont want to mess around with my pc, so I am going through with this approach. I am using the vmware files that come with the image, and also have another vmware machene I made myself. Booth boot the os but they just stay on the grey apple screen, with the circle still spining. Ive attached pics of the 2 verbose screens. The one named "My Machene" is the one I made myself. The one named "Included Machene" was the one included in the bittorent package. Please help me, I really love macs. Any suggestions are good.

Yes i did use that image. But I also used the vmware files that came with the image. As for the patches, and fixes. I sadly have to say I have no clue what you are talking about The above output is from the vmware file included with the image. The vmware file I made for myself gets a little further in boot, but still crashes. Ill post the other output in a sec. My processor is a AMD Athlon XP 3000+ , and yes it does support sse2.

Ok, in order that you image works fine you need to get several patchs, they are commented in the wiki, these are : Maxxuss-SSE2-and-AntiTPM-Patches-v0.5c.iso (43mb), Maxxuss-Exec_10.4.2-v0.1.iso (8mb) and Maxxuss-AMDPCNET-v1.0.zip (9kb) (nic patch).

If those patchs are for the DVD don't work into your current image (until where i know).

Maybe there are some troubles with your hardware, but i'm only guessing. Try to boot with -x parameter (safe mode). Then if you get it, apply all those patch (those than i told you).

EtherealRemnant Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Try using the latest build of VMWare 5.5 I, too, had the forever spinning lines of doom... until I ran that. But if you really want to be able to use the OS (VMWare is slowwwwwwww), you should really do a native install using said DVD you downloaded. Also... try posting a screenshot of -v after say, 15 minutes of loading? You sure it supports SSE2? I'm pretty sure that SSE2 is only something that started on 64 cores? Even Barton cores don't have SSE2... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3905-cant-get-mac-os-x-to-work-in-vmware/#findComment-25055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogersstuart Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 I know vmware is slow, but its ok. Im useing vmware 5.0 not 5.5, but it shouldent make a diffrence, because you said it gave you the same problem. You said that you were able to install a patch, and it started to work. What patch did you use, and how did you get it to instal? Ive got 2 cd images downloading, which do you recomend? Marklar-tiger-release1.iso or Marklar-Tiger-patch.iso They are both the same size, and appear to be made by the same person. The first one is one day older though. And the second one isnt downloading. Just wondering which you recomend. Could someone reccomend a image host?

pc_guru Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 My friend please, download that application that i told you (cpu_z_130.zip, the only one that i posted on Post #4), that program will tell you what your processor support (SSE, SSE2, SSE3). I believed than you did donwload it and after checked your processor. Don't do guessing.

cooltoad Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 dude VMWare loading OSX sucks balls. It works for me, however its slow as {censored}. It's like remote PC'ing someone. plus nothing barely works. If you want to load OSX, just dual boot your machine, dont use VMware.... However I do have p4 with hyperthreading and a gig of ram...... so osx runs amazingly fast and smooth and i cant stand how crappy it looks with vmware.
