XnotAcitizenX Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I am trying to boot the Mac OSx86 uphuck 10.4.9 on VMware however I get to the part to select a drive and there is never one there. I preallocated the disc space but I can't get it to register with the OS. If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated. THANKS!

XnotAcitizenX Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 I fully installed Mac OS X using VMware then it told me to restart and I did. However now when I try to run it all I get is a black screen with a _ in white at the top. I have left it up for a while and it never loads. What is the problem?

However now when I try to run it all I get is a black screen with a _ in white at the top. I have left it up for a while and it never loads. What is the problem? Hello, i have the same problem, would be glad if someone can help. i´ve rebooted with the dvd (uphuck_10.4.9_v1.4i_r3.iso) and started the disk utility (Utilities/Disk Utility...) and started the Verify Disk Permissions, all seems to be OK. I also tried to Repair Disk at the end this message appears: 1 HFS volume checked No repairs were necessary. The Information tap says the disk is Apple_HFS and bootable. 79,202 files and 22,125 folders on it. So i think the installation is OK, but why i only get a cursor in the left corner? Hope someone can help.

kyle elkins Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 same here... i got rid of it and downloaded a 10.4.7 file. It was preinstalled, and i have networking and sound so its ok. But i just use it for fun, cause i have a ibook lol. I hear that the uphuck is really slow when you get it installed and running though....

Any OS loaded on it knows nothing of the actual hardware your PC has, just cause you get it to work on VMWare does not mean that it will work natively on your PC.

XnotAcitizenX Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yes I am aware that it is emulating. After I mess around with it in VMware I am installing a partition on the ol'HD to see how things work out. I just need to free up some space, because right now I have 9 gig of a 250 ... so I think I am going to go out and by a TB.

~pcwiz Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Just my 2 cents: Uphuck 1.4iR3 on VMware was a LOT faster for me compared to JaS 10.4.8 on VMware.

Thats what I'm trying to do..... on vmware 6.00 But i keep getting the flashing "_". What did you do to install uphuck?

~pcwiz Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I actually didn't install it using VMware. I got an external drive, installed OS X natively on it and then booted using the drive from within VMware. No point using VMware to run it for me though, now that I can get it running native.

etherboy Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Uphuck 1.4iR3Same here, installed on VMWare 6.0 and stuck at "_" and a black screen after reboot.Using ABIT IP35 (Intel P35 chipset) I actually didn't install it using VMware.If you didn't install the Uphuck 1.4iR3 on VMware, how can you claim "Uphuck 1.4iR3 on VMware was a LOT faster for me compared to JaS 10.4.8 on VMware."?

~pcwiz Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Because after I installed the OS X on my USB drive, I booted OS X Uphuck 1.4iR3 from VMware and it was a lot faster than JaS.

~pcwiz Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Yeah, try installing NATIVE on a drive/partition and then you can boot it using VMware. But I don't see why thats any use booting from VMware other than for troubleshooting when you could just boot native, as you have already installed native.
