VMware + Mac problems

Recommended Posts

I booted in Mac OS X in VMware and saw the installation screen. Formatted the partition using Mac OS Extended Journaled. But the drive didn't show still. :lol:

 

I rebooted the VM. When I read again, I forgot the Independent -> Persistent thing and rebooted the VM.

 

I get an error. System config file '/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found.

 

using JaS Mac OS X 10.4.8

 

Specs:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+

Asus A8M2N MB + nVidia GeForce 6150 LE (Integrated)

2GB DDR2 PC4200 533mhz

250GB Samsung SP2504C SATA II 300 7200rpm

LITE-ON DVD-RW (dunno if SATA or not)

 

Booted using command -s..

 

It said that the drive i'm installing to is mounted read-only.

Hmmm, It froze right at the end of the installation.....

I made a "virtual drive" so like a single file for a HDD and used it to install Hackintosh but it froze.

 

JaS OS 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3 beta v2

I had the same Error-Message (but with Mac OS X Version 10.4.6) and have found a solution following this tutorial step by step: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...Virtual_Machine

 

I used this solution and allocated all the space out in the beginging. And used a live linux distro 'GParted' and created a mac file at the begining of the partition and was able to boot and im currently in the install process.

Will it work with a AMD Athlon 64 box with nForce and SATA?

 

Using VMware 5.5.4 and unpatched JaS 10.4.8
