Maconvert Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hi Everyone, I've got Fusion 3 running great on my Snow Leopard hackintosh. However, I was wondering if anyone has installed Fusion 4 on theirs and if you've experienced any problems. Please let me know. Cheers, Maconvert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan1111 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Let me guess...Everyone is waiting for me to try it first. I have had VMware fusion 4.01 and 4.02 since they came out and am having problems both in 10.6.8 as well as 10.7.1: I have no problems with Fusion v 3.1.3: With version 4 everything runs fine until I put the computer to sleep: then when I start a virtual machine in fusion 4 the host system (mac) reboots. i.e somehow a signal gets through to the host to restart immediately. This happens when starting a Virtual machine (WXP) or resuming a Virtual machine (WXP) and happens almost immediately after pressing the chevron (big white arrow); the screen just goes black as the machine reboots; nothing logged or anything it seems Before sleeping VMWare fusion is always completely off (quit) I have now tried everything I can think of using various combinations of Kexts, even removing sleepenabler and disabler kexts, my rig could still sleep and wake but I had the same effect as before with fusion 4. I have also tried the following without success: ** Rolling back to fusion v 3.1.3 and reinstalling again ** I watched the kexts of fusion using the console command kextstat and couldn't see a real difference when starting fusion before or after sleep, and the kexts disappear when one exist fusion. The kexts being vcmcp, vsockets, vmioplug, vmnet. (only vsockets changed in some form , originally the kext output was vsockets 110 2 5 4 , and after sleep and restart fusion became vsockets 120 2 5 4; I don't see that makes a difference; but I don't know what these numbers in kextstat mean yet ) ** ethernet driver: used to have issues, so I installed the latest greatest that has just come out (I haven't tried the Realtek original latest yet, but this is an unlikely issue) ** I switched of accelerated 3D graphics in the virtual machine settings ** I tried upgrading to a later version of FakeSMC, I am using v2.7.2; but got a KP using the latest FakeSMC version 4.93 so upgrading requires more research to get the latest Fakesmc working It could be a combination of BIOS, Chameleon, FakeSMC etc etc. For my next step I am wondering whether it would be useful to see if bios starts by biosforceSetuponce = "TRUE" in the VMX file Like you I don't see any messages on hackintosh and fusion 4 Have we got any other experiences with fusion v 4.02 on hackintoshes machine EP45-DQ6 gigabyte memory 4GB Corsair 1066 DDR2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdaz Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Same issue here... EP45-UD3LR Maconvert... do you have a similar motherboard to us? And heck... Has anybody found a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdaz Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think I'm on to something... If I disable Virtualization Technology in BIOS, the problem seems to go away. This is not a particularly good workaround of course, since this means virtualization is running entirely in software. Perhaps downgrading to Fusion 3 is the best workaround here... I have a feeling I might just use this as an excuse to build a new Hack :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artosx Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Disabling virtualization indeed helps. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
