keplenk Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hi all, I'm new here so please be easy on me =). First of all, I want to inform you that all of these stuff is new to me = Vmware/MacOSx/even Ubuntu commands =(. I just know stuff about windows 3.1 upto VIsta (Vista is when I lost trust with microsoft). I'm really eager to learn about other operating systems and I've spent 2 weeks already learning VMware and installing MacOSX 10.4.8 on it. So far, I successfully installed 10.4.8 in my Vaio laptop (except I only get 1024x786 resolution) using VMware Workstation 6. Moreover the Installation DVD I got has an update with it, the "JaS.10.4.9.Combo.Update.Intel.SSE3". This is when everything got complicated. After installing the update, I get kernel panics error. I've searched google for possible solutions and I found one from these forum =). So I followed the instructions with the backing up of extensions and kernels and stuff and the kernel panic error was gone but I got a new error "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point." There was a point that I felt I was messing up with the commands like sudo -s .. cp /mach_kernel because it kept reporting "no such directory". I tried to manage on learning these commands (I only know DOS) and hoping that I got it right. One of the instructions was to download "mach_kernel" from IRC. I got all of them because I don't know what to use. HOwever, I believe that most logical "mach_kernel" to use is the 10.4.9 mach_kernel SSE3 (Since I have SSE3 CPU) Am I doing the right thing? Where did I go wrong? Can 10.4.9 update be installed in Vmware? Right now, I can't install it natively (I have some important stuff in my pc). Could you please help with a step-by-step guide in installing the 10.4.9 update using Vmware? Again 10.4.8 is currently installed with almost everything working (except the video resolution and usb). Please explain it to me like a 5-year old kid =) THank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 10.4.9 is not fully compatible with VMware (specifically the kernel). Install JaS without the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
