Gambit642 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Will the patches you applied allow it to run on Virtual PC or Virtual Server? I would like to see Virtual Server 2005 hosting 10 different Leopard services! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DsurioN Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Awesome job! Just wondering, I have the Leopard dmg, can I convert that to an .img and use that as my flat image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSCXP2005 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 ~pcwiz, just to let you know that in your instructions when you mention removing the bad kexts, you don't mention about creating a directory for the backup, when I put the first command for the AppleCPUPowerManagement.kext it says there is no directory. Can you amend your guide All the best NSCXP2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 The upload didn't go well I'm afraid. For some reason it won't upload to filedropper. What I'll have to do is split it into 100MB chunks and upload individually DsurioN, Yes, you could NSCXP, It should automatically create the directory, but yeah if you get an error like that manually create it EDIT: Made a release thread for the image: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=96277 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'm uploading it in parts to FileFactory. I don't know about torrents because I won't be able to seed them a lot with my 60KBps upload maximum. About 28 of the 36 parts are done EDIT: 3 parts to go EDIT: All done, go to the release thread and everything is there. It was available yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¤¤¤ Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 10.5.2 fully working with netkas kernel and mac.nub SMBIOS: Things left to do are test USB, Sound, and Ethernet. I think I might make a PPF patch for the original Leopard flat image that patches it to a VMware friendly 10.5.2 form like my current setup. I'm also gonna test this with 2 processors and with the guest OS set to Darwin and parallel/serial/floppy disabled to see if it makes any difference in speed. Donk, This setup is 100% stable and although it takes long to boot, it works fine with the exception of QE/CI but Core Image seems to have Software support. i run leopard on vmware on qemu on xen on virtualbox on oracle kvm take a look this was my first boot ever http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=lFatkCogTaU this was the second time this time i got it working http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=whlXU-TFOHw this time i made it on linux x64 http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=uem1dREQZpY now i already updated to 10.5.2 on linux going to upload the video tonight maybe anyway good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 ¤¤¤, I see that you installed Kalyway. I'm guessing that you installed Kalyway natively to a partition, made an image of the partition, and mounted it in VMware correct? :censored2: ~pcwiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hope to find some time for testing the sound and network in VMWare, because when i boot Leo native works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Whoa ¤¤¤, please slip up on the spammish posts Thats nice, and I'm sorry you didn't get credit. Even I can't get it running on VirtualBox, can I see a screen of it running on VirtualBox? And how did you do it? Maybe if you actually posted instructions you would get a lot of credit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPimpin Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 This is a very good thing! Unfortunately for me, VMware doesn't make Firewire devices available to VMs on Windows, so it's of limited usefulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shasoosh Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I've just installed Leopard in VMware from another source, did you managed to install VMware tools with Leopard? Is there a guide for that? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 There are FreeBSD VMware tools, which is close to OS X, but no, still no VMware Tools for Leopard (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¤¤¤ Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 There are FreeBSD VMware tools, which is close to OS X, but no, still no VMware Tools for Leopard (yet) i was thinking the same thing that some vmwaretools from other virtual machine might be able to be adapted to leopard but o well maybe the one for open suse works or i dont know didnt try that yet been busy anyway as soon as you know something let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewdman42 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 excellente. Now I can run OSX on my laptop. I won't be able to run audio apps or anything, but at least I can now switch over completely to iCal, etc.. Thanks so much for your contribution.

Dewdman42 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 question about this. I found your vmware image on a torrent somewhere and tried it out. First I got an error about PAE, so I turned on paevm = "TRUE" in the vmx file. But after that I got errors that the XP laptop I am trying to use is not 64bit. Will this only work on 64bit capable CPU's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultrahang Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 guys just a question. what is the point to run leopard in vmware without full hw graphics acceleration? for me it's a big surprise to see the positive comments on this topic as inline with my experiences the leopard is rather unusable without qe/ci than usable for any kind of production purposes. so please by my guest and let me to understand what is the point? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
computercrazy Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 There are FreeBSD VMware tools, which is close to OS X, but no, still no VMware Tools for Leopard (yet) pcwiz, I'm doing an experiment that I believe will lead to being able to show how to add VMware tools based on the new 6.5 beta. However, I've been having trouble getting VMWare to boot using one of the 10.5.4 installations (JaS, iATKOS, etc) after following your guides and Donks guides on similar topics (I'm more of a Windows and Linux hack - first time playing with OSX). I'm trying to do this with the new guestOS="darwin-64" option instead of BSD because that is key to getting my VMware tools hack working, but still no luck. I've also tried to experiment with your VM image of 10.5.2 but when I change guestOS="darwin-64" I cannot boot your image any more. Any advice on either topic (e.g., getting an install to boot with "darwin-64" or being able to convert your image to work with "darwin-64")?
