macgirl Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 The only way to know is to see at the errors. Did you boot with -s or -x or -v options?

macgirl Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 What does the screen say? the logfile is what vmware is doing not what Mac OS is doing.

macgirl Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 From you screen capture it appears you are booting drom the DVD instead of your Disk Installation. RAM Disks normally created with the installation DVD not from instlled OS on HD. Also try -x (safe) option.

.:' GiZmO ':. Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I had the same problem with VMware. Then I realised that I hadn't installed the correct patch for my processor. Did it, and just worked fine. OS X runs fine in vmware.
