next vm boot issue
I got it to install and boot using kernel 9.5. BTW, in the install instructions it says to enter "-v -busratio=10 cpus=1", I had to leave out the "- " (minus) sign before the word busratio to get it to work. It loaded os X fine and I had internet and so on, but when I shut down the VM and tried to boot it later, it just stalled at -14135 prompt. Any idea what changed? Here is the screenshot.

I stopped receiving notifications on updates to this thread oh well...
@drummer wow thanks for that typo there, with all the switches out there, I must have blindly put the - in front of busratio. I fixed the first post. Cannot believe I missed that, its very critical to stop the bouncing reboots in vmware. About the hang, its not necessary the last line you see is the cause of the hang. Usually this area of hang is due to some new driver, or graphics setting incompatibility. Try giving it the graphics mode options to lower resolution. @yyzyyz you can go here for the snow guide. hxtp://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=189969&st=0 Although I used a PC version of snow, not the retail these guys mention. it works good. again core2duo class and above is a absolute for snow. The reason for operating system not found is because you are probably using "darwin" setting in the vmx file. You have to use freebsd for the emulation to boot from regular HD. If you use "darwin" setting in vmx, you need that darwin.iso boot helper to chain boot to hard drive. @OffSwitch76 amd 6000+ was before the core2duo line. Its missing sse4 so under vmware sse3 is dog slow. Its almost unusable, that is why its freezing. There are ways around it, but emulation is still slow. Your better off trying to separate HD install the leopard installation. This way it will be faster. Last edited by kailm; 01-09-2010 at 02:20 AM. Reason: typos |

I am new at Macs but I have managed to install iATKOS V7 on my VMWare 7, but i cant seem to bootup normally unless i enter these startup options;
-v busratio=10 -cpus=1 I tried adding these strings to the com.apple.Boot.plist using the terminal window as "sudo nano" but everytime i restart, i have to re-type those startup options again, this is how my boot.plist file looks like <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v</string> <string>busratio=10</string> <string>cpus=1</string> Is there anything i am missing or that i am doing wrong? please advice. |

download an app called efistudio and edit it via that. You may be missing tags or editing the improper location for the file. (i have seen it in 2 places)
Using the app, it makes sure you edit the right one the system booted from. |

Give this a try
Code:

thank you kailm, that is a good program to use in OSX, easy to modify the boot.plist file without running the command in terminal window
@ lanceomni; what can i say? U DA MAN!! I cannot believe it was easy as that, now my os 10.6 boots up perfectly.. I thought i needed to add a string per boot option, newbie me. Thanks man!! |

Hi, i was wondering how i can change the options without installing the complete os again every time :P
I'm trying to get this OS running on my pc, but for now, it won't work, and reboots after the install, and keeps rebooting. (even with all options.) I already tried both kernels, but nothing seems to work till now. Specs : Asus striker extreme Intel Q6600 processor Ati Radeon 4890 4Gb OCZ memory Windows 7 And running VMware 6.5 Greetings, Chris |

VMWare Network Problem
Hello,
Thanks for the instructions on installing iATKOS v7 on VMWare 6.5. Everything installed just fine on my Dell XPS M1730 with the instructions provided...except the network. My network card is a "Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller", which I believe is actually a 5754, for what it's worth. The really strange thing is, the NAT settings kind of work... I can ping www.yahoo.com, for instance, and get replies. It can resolve the DNS name, etc, and I can ping all my local computers on the network. However, Safari is unable to visit any website (one of those Can't Find Host or timeout type of errors). I notice upon boot up, Apple can't 'call home' to synchronize the clock. So why it's working in a bash shell and nowhere else, I have no idea why. If I switch it to Bridged networking, there is just no hope with that. I have tried both the 9.7 and 9.5 kernel installs. I've tried adding the Broadcom drivers during the install. Nada. The only other indication that something is off, is that IFCONFIG says my network adapter is on EN2 instead of EN0. (Note that I'm not concerned about WiFi, as I only do wired). I see other posts regarding the Broadcom problem, but nothing specific to VMWare 6.5.1. Any ideas? Are there any kexts I can try? Thanks in advance! |

RE: VMWare Network Problem
I managed to fix my own networking problem:
Seems it's an oddity in VMWare. I had to change the virtual network adapter to a CUSTOM network adapter. I switched it to VMnet2 (Bridged), and ensured that VMnet2 was bound directly to my Broadcom (wired) network adapter on the host. Not sure if this was necessary, but I also deleted all the network adapters in my hackintosh by running this command, and then rebooting: sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist This reset my problem with en2 vs. en0. Hope this helps someone out there in Hackintosh land. ;-) |
