Hagar Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 1: I'm sure someone will jump in if this has changed, but last I looked, Leopard doesn't work with vmware. 2: Your final panic shows a SAM error, which is bad media.. It might *possibly* be worth trying accessing the disc differently.. mounting the iso in daemon tools, or burning a physical DVD..

Shanems3 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 yeah, vmware cant read the hfs partition that is on the iso, so use another method of mounting the iso Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/78593-still-waiting-for-root-device-in-vmware/#findComment-556896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul in FL Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I have the exact same problem with installing Leo in VMWARE. I passed the issue with VMWARE not being able to mount the HFS ISO by mounting the ISO with Daemon Tools and then adding it to the VM as a physical drive. The Leo install can't see the hard drive. I'm thinking it's because all the new Leo Macs have SATA drives and VMWARE only emulates IDE. Any ideas??
