Recommended Posts

I am running VMware 5.5.1 (I also tried 5.5.3) on Windows XP Pro with SP2. And the OSX86 image file is "JaS.10.4.8.AMD.Intel.SSE2.SSE3.iso". I followed the instructions from "http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware_how_to". But I still encouter PAE problems even I added the line "paevm = "TRUE"" in the configuration file "FreeBSD.vmx".

 

Below are the details about my computer's hardware.

Make: IBM

Model: ThinkPad X31 2672-B3H

Specifications:

CPU: Pentium M 1.3GHz(Banias, 400MHz FSB, SSE, SSE2, no SSE3, no PAE)

RAM: 512MB DDR333

Graphyic Card: ATI Mobility Radeon (16MB DDR)

Northbridge: Intel 855PM

Sourthbridge: Intel ICH4-M

 

Here is what I encoutered when trying to install OSX86 10.4.8 JAS (10.4.7 JAS has the same problem).

 

1. The configuration file "FreeBSD.vmx"

2. The boot menu

3. Several seconds before I encouter PAE problem

Need help! How can I fix this problem. I read the HCL on "http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.8/Portables", and find someone succeeded running 10.4.8 on a Banias machine.

 

Here is the detail:
