zenmaster Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hi all VMWARE is using 100cpu all the time. I know this issue has appeared, and been searching for any solutions. Just wondered if anyone knows anything about this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Follow my guide exactly: http://######.com/software/vmwareosx86.htm Also, go to /System/Library/Extensions and see if a kext called "AppleTPMACPI.kext" exists. If it does, delete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVariable Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hate to resurrect a thread this old, but I'm having the exact same issue. I installed 10.4.8 using your guide and the core that VMWare's using is pegged at 100%. The TPM kext isn't in the folder. Any ideas? The only difference for me is I'm running VM Ware 6.0.2. EDIT: Oh a few other things of note: I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 w/the Nvidia binary driver. OS X'es Activity Monitor doesn't show any single process or combination of processes taking 100% of available CPU. Yet, GNOME's System Monitor says the main VW Ware thread is constantly consuming 50% of my CPU (1 of the 2 cores). To be clear: I run XP and Vista in VM Ware and neither pegs the CPU at 100% like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVariable Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I tried a different release and that fixed the problem. It's still SLOW as HELL though. If it's just sitting there, not being interacted with, it takes no CPU. The minute I click on something though, the CPU usage goes to 100% and everything really slow. I seem to recall the original Deadmoo was much faster, a native install is super-fast, and a VM Ware install of any other OS is super-fast. So, what gives?
