tehbenneh Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 heya peeps... just a crazy idea i've had, really not sure if anyone's tried this yet - i had a quick lookie round and didn't find much on it other than people trying to install to parallels on XP... anyways, short on time here so i apologise if i'm asking a previous question. let's say i have two monitors, and I enjoy running osx host and xp or linux in the other monitor, great stuff. now what if i'd like to run osx86 as a guest VM ... has anyone had any joy with that at all? reason being, i'd just like a Jas install running as guest on my mac so that i can toy around with it without b0rking my host system. i've gathered that there's been some problems with people trying to get it to install via parallels under an xp host, but is there a workaround for it on an intel mac running parallels? hope you guys can help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45766-installing-osx86-onto-parallels-on-a-mac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisz Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 doubt many people have tried just because it sounds kinda redundant when you have a perfectly good working MacOS working on a Mac. I have not tried it, but good luck to ya.

Korrupted Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I've tried numerous times to put Osx86 in a ||s VM and it just doesn't work. It always crashes on the grey apple screen. I always forget to get the -v log though, so I can't recall where in the booting process it's crashing. =x Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45766-installing-osx86-onto-parallels-on-a-mac/#findComment-327390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tehbenneh Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 thanks for the comments guys, i tried already with the -v but crashes before it can even give me any details.

erbic Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yeah, it'll just crash the VM. I've also tried this in the VMware Fusion beta, but JaS 10.4.8 won't work. Some people have reported getting one of the 10.4.3 images working in Fusion, but I can't remember which one.

sg Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 doubt many people have tried just because it sounds kinda redundant when you have a perfectly good working MacOS working on a Mac. I have not tried it, but good luck to ya. its not, its called a sandbox to play and test things without having to reboot or dedicate an entire partition to. i have tried this myself a few times and failed. i dont really see why i cant work considering it works on the windows version (can anyone confirm the linux one?). you might have to try some newer kernel or something.
