Zenith432 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I'm expriencing a long (~40 seconds) delay when starting an OS X virtual machine (firmware = "efi") on Workstation 10. Anyone else run into this? The delay is before it gets to the boot loader menu. Host is Win 8.1.x64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus1877 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 v1.1.1 does not go with VMware workstation 10 VM workstation:10.0.0 build-1295980 downloaded yesterday from offical site My Environment: Win7 64bit ultimate,En Step: 1. download VM workstation 10 ,install after uninstall VM 9 2. download unlock all v1.1.1, run 3. Launch VM10 and create a new virtual OS , no Mac OSX shown on UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith432 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 You need to manually patch vmwarebase.dll. See post #376. The unlocker is not up-to-date for wks 10 yet. v1.1.1 does not go with VMware workstation 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSoK Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Zenith432, I have a very similar setup, Windows 8.1 x64 and Workstation 10, using Unlocker 1.1.1 with your replacement vmwarebase.dll, I go from starting OS X to login in about 40 seconds, which does not feel any different from Workstation 9.0.2 or ESXi 5.1.0 U1? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith432 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I meant it's 40 seconds from powering on the virtual machine until I get to the rEFit boot menu - in other words before the boot even begins! I have a very similar setup, Windows 8.1 x64 and Workstation 10, using Unlocker 1.1.1 with your replacement vmwarebase.dll, I go from starting OS X to login in about 40 seconds, which does not feel any different from Workstation 9.0.2 or ESXi 5.1.0 U1?

MSoK Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Zenith432, OK, is this for your 10.9 DP6 boot or is it the same for 10.8.5, would a comparison of .vmx be of any benefit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith432 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 It's the same. I don't think a comparison would matter. I made a whole new OS 10.9 virtual machine with no disks (efi firmware), and when I Power-On-To-BIOS, it's the same 40 seconds until it gets to the bios boot menu. The window is black for about 20 seconds, then the vmware logo appears - then it takes another 15-25 seconds until the bios boot manager comes up. This didn't happen in Workstation 9.0.2, but I think it did when the host was Win 8.x64 (with Workstation 10). I tried minimizing the VM to 1GB ram, 1 processor and it's still the same 40 seconds. OK, is this for your 10.9 DP6 boot or is it the same for 10.8.5, would a comparison of .vmx be of any benefit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSoK Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Not sure what to suggest, it may be a version 1 issue with Workstation 10, what Hardware compatibility version are you using with your OS X VM's, all is pretty well as it was with Windows 8.1 and Workstation 9.0.2 since the move to 10 for me. know that is not much help, my hardware is the HP EliteBook as detailed in my signature, at least it is a reference point, let me know if I can help in any way?

trungpt Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Win 8.1 is already out and about, and runs inside VMware 9.0.2 and 10 as a guest OS. However, attempting to upgrade from Win 8 as a host OS bombs midway Edit (11 Sept): Never mind, problem was an installed app that was disrupting the upgrade. Win 8 -> Win 8.1 upgrade works. Thank you for your reply. I don't know that VMware 9.0.2 supports Windows 8.1 I'm looking forward to a new version of VMware Unlocker with an official support for VMware Workstation v10.

sebus Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Until Donk sorts out the unlocker for Workstation 10, attached is a patched vmwarebase.dll that unlocks the OS X options in the OS menus. It's a 1-byte patch. Windows only. Or just better to state: offset 233FD8 edit 00 to be 01 Well done, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJTagy Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I meant it's 40 seconds from powering on the virtual machine until I get to the rEFit boot menu - in other words before the boot even begins! Zenith, I also see this delay. Maybe only 13 + 17 seconds for each. I thought this was just an effect of new WS10. I'm using WS10 with 10.8.5.

Donk Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Or just better to state: offset 233FD8 edit 00 to be 01 Well done, thanks Just be aware that one byte patch, and the Linux ones is uploaded, are build dependent. The unlocker actually patches the Guest OS Table which is much easier to find between builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberghoser1 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just a little update from my experience, had troubles with Vmware Workstation 10 and ML in the past, I redid the whole thing, patched Vmware 10 with dll patch, installed 10.8.5 full, very fast now, no delays on bootloader, seems more stable tha Vmware 9 after all, dont know why first try was frustrating. Still no iMessage but maybe i need to add a credit card to my account to make it work with the enabler, gave up on this one not a serious matter in a VM imho.

Brazilian Joe Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I am on Windows 8 64-bits (build 9200) Boot Camp, running Mac OS X from a second disk. Occasionally I boot natively on Mac OS X, then I get back to running it in a VM in a 'reversed boot camp' fashion (i.e. Windows native, Mac virtualized) which is my standard mode of operation. I recently installed 10.8.5 and Xcode 5 (for iOS 7) while running Mac native. Now I am geting a reboot loop with a kernel crash when trying to run the Mac virtualized. Any similar experiences? What's the 101 to debug the reboot loop in the VM? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkies Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 hi donk, have been using the unlocker in the past with workstation 7 and 8 without any problem (and very grateful for it..). however, just upgraded to workstation 10, did the unlock thing with 1.2.0 but when I then run an existing osx image it seems to boot but then all I see is the grey apple .. this is on a windows 7 x 64 machine. latest workstation 10. is there any info I could provide to help debug this?

Firstly have you upgraded the virtual hardware to 10 compatiblity? I would do that first as there was a similar problem going from 8 to 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wurst001 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I upgraded to VMWare Player 6.0, unlocked with unlocker 1.2.0. I recreated the virtual machines and added the images of the SCSI harddisk as SATA disks (SATA is now the default for OS X guests). OS X booted without a hassle. Then I edited the VMX files and disabled the SCSI controller. The virtual SATA harddisks have a queue depth of 32. I couldn't find anything out about the queue depth of the SCSI disks. Also, I wasn't able to disable the IDE controller. So far all my OS X guests run very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
