stepup.stepout Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I've been trying to get Leopard to work forever and whatever I try nothing works. I always get this error Can anyone help? Thank you in advance (also, you gotta be kind of simple with me, computers are not my best subject Basically I could only do what people tell me). edit: whoops, totally forgot. I have an AMD based computer (HP a1250n), if that helps any.

~pcwiz Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Leopard (as far as I know) doesn't work on VMware and the fact that you have an AMD based computer makes it worse. If you want, you can run Tiger though.

stepup.stepout Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 hmm...well, from what I heard you could run tiger through an AMD computer and VMWare. I was actually using VMWare to install it to a partitiion because the install wasnt working directly from the DVD. I've gotten past this part once, but thats it. I got to the blank gray install screen but it didnt load from there. Ever since then i was getting this problem. edit: also, I was following this guide: http://osx86.thefreesuite.com/leo_amd.php Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77019-vmware-hangs-in-darwin-before-installation/#findComment-546728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayakovski Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I have not heard of anyone getting leopard to run under vmware, here is a quote from another posting. "VMware doesn't virtualize HPET timersd that vanilla kernel uses. So need patched kernel such as ToH no-HPET. However, when using this in Kalyway it still doesn't fire up due to virtual DMA and CD ROM issues".
