xequence Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Ok. My specs first: AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Venice (SSE2 and SSE3 supported) ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Integrated Graphics 512MB RAM 200GB 7200RPM SATA ATI RS480 Chipset (says north bridge) and ATI SB400 (says south bridge), but another page on Everest Ultimate says the chipset is ATI Radeon Xpress 200, AMD Hammer Realtek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet Adapter (PCI) ATI SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller (PCI) And the computer is an HP Pavillion s1129n, if that helps. Oh, and it's a desktop. I have a dvd image of osx86. It is MacOSX_10.4.4DVDPATCHED_Myz. I have vmware 5.1 and when I load it up it seems to hang right after the black "darwin x86" screen. There is a light grey background with a darker grey apple logo and a little spinny thingy below it. I have had it on for about 40 minutes now and it doesent do anything. Yes, the spinny thingy spins Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? (Yes, ive searched around. Hopefully I didnt miss anything addressing this same problem though) I have around 230MB RAM allocated to it. Basically I want to try out to see how well I could install OSx86 in vmware before I accually install it on another partition. So, with that said, so I dont have to make a new topic about it, also... Anyone see any problems with my hardware for OSx86? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12840-dvd-image-hangs-in-vmware/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebunny Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Seems a whole bunch of us are trying to do it with VMWare without luck. My image is also the patched 10.4.4. I have a Palermo Sempron64 on NForce3 and I get past the Apple logo to the Installer but the Installer doesn't see the virtual disk. I chose 'Other' as the type of the hosted OS.

cwdrake Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Instead of mounting the DVD ISO directly with VMware, try using a utility like DAEMON Tools to mount the DVD image as a drive on your host operating system. Then mount that virtual drive as your CD/DVD drive in VMware.
