It maybe worth doing what Mac SofK suggests and trying a real DVD instead. Otherwise use the F8 key and specify -v on boot to see what Mac OS X is complaining about.

I also tried to change it in the cd/dvd settings so it boot from E: and not the iso bot I'm still stuck at the spinning ball. But it's not the real dvd but it's mounted and vmware is setup to boot from E. I tried the voodoo.iso also.

Well we can ssume it is retail for now, though I use real Apple DVD media to make my images. You could try dmg2img - Google for it and try it. I have and does seems better at converting, but again I do my conversions on a Mac. You also have to use the correct darwin.iso make sure it is the one for Snow Leopard NOT voodoo one which cannot start SL. (I suspect this is your problem.) I think I already wrote this somewhere but download the first package then the SL one. Copy darwin.iso over main package and then follow the normal instructions in the manual.

Master Chief Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Donk, Have you ever tried to install VMware on a Mac OS X Server edition (I have 10.6 here / not installed yet) to see if the firmware ="efi" option works there, without the Not OS X Server message when installing Snow Leopard? Someone said that copying files from the DVD might help, especially the efi bits like boot.efi and the efi-runtime? Here, on my hack I have Snow Leopard installed, and with the efi option (and darwin instead of darwin10) it almost starts. It only stops at the very last bit with the usual message.

Yes and it does not work because there is on decryption going on. We need to find a way to inject the strings used in FakeSMC but it is not trivial like the ISO approach. It would likely involve a new EFI module compiled into the BIOS. I think I can fix the BIOS so that it is not Mac OS X Server dependent as it can be extracted and used directly from the VMX file.

It didn't work better with the iso converted by dmg2iso. And I'm using the darwin for SL. The problem must be that the version of Snow leopard I have is not retail. I'll try to get a copy of a retail one. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvnc848 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Hello, Just wanted to say a big thank you to Donk and all others for all the great info. I just got OS X SL to install into VMware Workstation 7 on Linux. I used the snowy-darwin iso, set my guest OS to darwin10-64, added the monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware" monitor.virtual_mmu = "software" lines, and away it went. I'm on a ASUS Z8NA-D6 with dual E5520s and a GTX275. Thanks, j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacPit Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hi. The last Days i tried many ways to get up a Snow Leopard Server running. I found this post an tried to install the SL Server on my ESX vSphere 4 Server but the ESX-Server always say that the Guest Operating System "darwin64Guest" is not supported when i try to power it on. What i want to do: I want to run a SL Server on my ESX it would be okay for me to run Leopard Server but i did not find an Image for this. Is there an way for a Hackintosh Noob like me to install SL Server on my ESX-Server. I tried to install it on my MacPro and on my iMac24 - perfect no Problems. But i cant miss any of them and so it would be perfect if int run on my ESX. Thx Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacPit Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 ESX cannot run Snow Leopard, only Leopard. Okay that is one thing. But why i got the Error i described? ESX won't start the machine and say that the Operating System "darwin64Guest" is not supported.

Zenith432 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have upgraded to VMWare 7/Linux and used the darwin.iso from filedropper.The installation of Snow Leopard went ok as described above. Two issues I have: 1. Grab/Screenshots are not working 2. Keynote does not display anything. VMsvga2 v1.2.1 supports Screenshots for SnowLeopard. I don't have Keynote. I'd greatly appreciate if someone who does could try Keynote with VMsvga2 1.2.1 and tell me whether it still doesn't work. Please try both with Screen Object enabled and without it.

MSoK Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Please read the manual it is explained there! Come on people RTFM before asking a question, Donk's manual is a great guide to installing retail DVD's of Leopard or SL in VMware, but this is not guaranteed to support a Hackintosh environment and no support is offered here, Peter. Other topics on this site deal with the Hackintosh world. My understanding is OS X server is licensed by Apple to be installed virtually, all be it on MAC hardware ONLY. So not supported should apply to the client versions of L and SL, although I have not had the issue, but I guess that is handled in the darwin.iso? SL is only currently supported in Fusion 2.06 and 3 or Workstation 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fauxfreshness Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hi All Need some guidance here. Do i boot the darwin.iso, eject and point to the snow leopard dmg file? If i have a SL retail dvd disc. does it work? Are you running Workstation in Windows or Linux? I only ask because of the DMG reference, and not using an ISO. However, you boot the darwin.iso, and then it will eject itself and you connect to the DVD drive or ISO file of SL. Once you install, you will have to continue booting from the darwin.iso which will start, build the "BIOS," and then hand off to the harddrive to continue booting. I wonder if there's a way to fix this issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saivert Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Update to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.0.2 went fine. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c276/sai...1062-update.png I'm still having issues with certain apps that does not accept any mouse input. I can double click it's titlebar to hide the window, but I can't click any controls inside the window. I had this issue with KeePassX (a password manager) but I managed to compile my own build for Snow Leopard SDK and then it worked fine. I guess it's only older apps targeting pre-SL APIs that fails to work with VMWare/PS2 mouse integration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabbSmith Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Good idea. I do boot an image of my real Mac from USB occasionally in VMware. Hello Donk, Thanks for the Vmware Tools, they work great, however I have a problem: I don't want to use Vmware Shared Folder, but every time I start the computer, a shortcut to nowhere called Vmware Shared Folders shows up on Desktop, I delete it everytime, but it shows up again after reboot. Is there a way to stop it from appearing? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSoK Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Are you running Workstation in Windows or Linux? I only ask because of the DMG reference, and not using an ISO. However, you boot the darwin.iso, and then it will eject itself and you connect to the DVD drive or ISO file of SL. Once you install, you will have to continue booting from the darwin.iso which will start, build the "BIOS," and then hand off to the harddrive to continue booting. I wonder if there's a way to fix this issue... Guys, unless I am mistaken you do not boot the darwin.iso, my reading of the manual and practical experience says create the VM as a FreeBSD or FreeBSD 64-Bit, amend the .vmx as per the manual. Power up the VM pointed at either an original retail OSX DVD or from an ISO created from the .dmg (I could only get the retail DVD to work), follow the installation instructions. Then once you are up and running use the darwin.iso to install the VM tools etc. Zenith432 has got some enhancements for video and audio. Hope this is of help. Mac SofK Just to clarify a good post: "SL is only currently officially supported in Fusion 2.06 and 3 or unoffically supported in Workstation 7." Donk, Thanks for the clarification, I was aware of the Workstation situation, should have been more technically correct, but not being in an NDA agreement with Apple or VMware, unlike some, did not bother, will do better, LoL!

gariontjk Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hi all, Just sharing what I have achieved after reading this post. I got SL (patched to 10.6.2) working on the following specs: 1) VMware workstation 7.0.0 build-203739; 2) Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Host OS; 3) Intel Q6600 2.40Ghz; 4) Retail DVD snow leopard converted to iso image (vmware to mount the iso for installation); 5) vmx settings below. Subsequently patched to 10.6.1 -> 10.6.2 had no problems. The only problem now I have is the choppy audio that I get. Any suggestions? .encoding = "windows-1252" config.version = "8" virtualHW.version = "7" maxvcpus = "4" scsi0.present = "TRUE" scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic" memsize = "2048" scsi0:0.present = "TRUE" scsi0:0.fileName = "OSX10.6 SL-000003.vmdk" ide1:0.present = "TRUE" ide1:0.autodetect = "TRUE" ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw" floppy0.startConnected = "FALSE" floppy0.fileName = "" floppy0.autodetect = "TRUE" ethernet0.present = "TRUE" ethernet0.connectionType = "nat" ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE" ethernet0.addressType = "generated" usb.present = "TRUE" ehci.present = "TRUE" sound.present = "TRUE" sound.fileName = "-1" sound.autodetect = "TRUE" svga.autodetect = "FALSE" mks.enable3d = "TRUE" pciBridge0.present = "TRUE" pciBridge4.present = "TRUE" pciBridge4.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort" pciBridge4.functions = "8" pciBridge5.present = "TRUE" pciBridge5.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort" pciBridge5.functions = "8" pciBridge6.present = "TRUE" pciBridge6.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort" pciBridge6.functions = "8" pciBridge7.present = "TRUE" pciBridge7.virtualDev = "pcieRootPort" pciBridge7.functions = "8" vmci0.present = "TRUE" roamingVM.exitBehavior = "go" displayName = "OSX10.6 SL" guestOS = "darwin10-64" nvram = "OSX10.6 SL.nvram" virtualHW.productCompatibility = "hosted" extendedConfigFile = "OSX10.6 SL.vmxf" monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware" monitor.virtual_mmu = "software" ich7m.present = "TRUE" ide1:0.fileName = "auto detect" ide1:0.startConnected = "TRUE" ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:50:80:72" tools.syncTime = "FALSE" uuid.location = "56 4d 06 df de ff cb a9-0f 99 95 3f bd 50 80 72" uuid.bios = "56 4d 06 df de ff cb a9-0f 99 95 3f bd 50 80 72" cleanShutdown = "FALSE" replay.supported = "FALSE" isolation.tools.hgfs.disable = "FALSE" sharedFolder.maxNum = "1" replay.filename = "" scsi0:0.redo = "" pciBridge0.pciSlotNumber = "17" pciBridge4.pciSlotNumber = "21" pciBridge5.pciSlotNumber = "22" pciBridge6.pciSlotNumber = "23" pciBridge7.pciSlotNumber = "24" scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "16" usb.pciSlotNumber = "32" ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "33" sound.pciSlotNumber = "34" ehci.pciSlotNumber = "35" vmci0.pciSlotNumber = "36" vmotion.checkpointFBSize = "134217728" usb:0.present = "TRUE" usb:1.present = "TRUE" ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0" vmci0.id = "-1118797710" usb:1.deviceType = "hub" usb:0.deviceType = "mouse" sharedFolder0.present = "TRUE" sharedFolder0.enabled = "TRUE" sharedFolder0.readAccess = "TRUE" sharedFolder0.writeAccess = "TRUE" sharedFolder0.hostPath = "C:\Users\Eugene\Desktop\OSX" sharedFolder0.guestName = "OSX" sharedFolder0.expiration = "never" smc.present = "FALSE" checkpoint.vmState.readOnly = "FALSE" checkpoint.vmState = "" gui.fullScreenAtPowerOn = "TRUE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
