FuZi0n Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Dear insane mac people I've got a problem. You probably got it right that I want to install 10.4.8 (best image that I could find at usenet, JaS release) in VMWare. Well, it all kinda goes without any kinks 'till I get to the disk utility part. I got a PPF1 and PPF2 patched image (or do you need to do that manually or something..?) but I still can't see any disks, except the dvd-'drive'. This is kinda frustrating cause I think I'm doing everything okay. I followed the VMWare tutorial @ the osx86.org wiki. I used the search engine on this forum but couldn't find very much. So, if anyone could help me up, I would be you thankful for a very long time! I got hard disk set up as an SCSI drive, I believe it wouldn't boot when I set it to IDE. System specs: Intel Core2Duo E6750 (2.6 GHz) 2GB RAM Running Windows Vista FuZi0n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuZi0n Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Okay, I managed to get things working.. but after the installation, it reboots blabla then I get the apple boot screen with that thingy that keeps spinning, and after a while it just hangs. It does nothing. So I went into verbose mode and I got something like this: *date* localhost /system/library/coreservices/loginwindows.app/contents/macos/loginwindow: Login Window Application Started I spoke to someone else and he said that it was something with the virtual graphics card. Is that correct? And is there a fix? Thnx! edit: Hmm, I'm getting a different text now, screenshot starts with the line in the beginning of my post and what I see at the end: Edit 2: Now I get the READ WRITE SAM error 10 times or so thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuZi0n Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 It still doesn't work.. Any tips? Tried again, it passes the loginwindow startup line, then airport driver, and then 2 lines with mDNSResponder in it... *date* localhost mDNSResponder: Couldn't read user-specified Computer Name; using default bMacintosh-00000000000b instead *date* localhost mDNSResponder: Couldn't read user-specified local hostname; using default bMacintosh-0000000000.localb instead Something like that.

Qband it! Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi everyone I'm trying to install MacOS 10.4.8 JaS Intel SS3 on VMWare 5.5.3, I had follow the ~pcwiz guide step by step but can't make this work. I have a 10.4.8 JaS copy but it seems to don't have the ppf1 and ppf2 patches, How I know if this is the correct image? If is not, I need to download a new image? or I can get this patches (and where, please) Updating to 10.4.9 o 10.4.10 will solve this problem or is worthless (or worst)??? This image is working great but on a normal installation, but in VMWare 5.5.3 crashes just when the white scren with the apple logo appears. I had follow the ~pcwiz guide step by step someone can give me a hand? thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
