I was already aware of issues 1 and 3, and already fixed both by using the "Guest Enabler" and modifying the Installer script before creating the ISO.
ATTEMPTING TO STARTUP FROM MAC OS X VMWARE INSTALL
The Installer script must be modified to allow it to install to any hardware non-PowerPC. When virtualizing Tiger, there are 3 problems you need to fix:ġ- Use the "Guest Unlocker" to allow Workstation to create and power on OSX VMs (in case of Fusion, it enables to power on client versions of OSX) Ģ- Tiger was designed for 1st generation Intel Core 2 processors, so it halts during boot if it does not recognize the host CPU (the error and solution I described in this topic) ģ- Tiger Install DVDs are locked to specific Apple machines (in my case a MacBookPro3,1), otherwise, during the Installer, you will get a warning that it cannot be installed in that machine, and install cannot proceed. Yes, I used the "Guest Unlocker", then configured a OSX 10.5 VM (32 bits). vmx file, your processor will fake reporting as being an "Intel Core 2 Duo T7700"ĭarkstar wrote:Did you try the MacOS X Unlocker? I think it should work as well (or does it only work for 10.5 upwards?) So, I would like to share the solution with you, who might get this issue too:īy adding the following line to your. It worked flawlessly, and blazing fast! I was able to install, and use Tiger normally, as all later versions of virtualized OSX! I followed this line of solution, and retrieved the information about my MacBookPro processor, and then added the CPUID information to the. vmx file, and faking the processor as reporting to be another one. The solution they found was to mask the CPUID as an earlier processor by adding a line to the. Upon investigating and searching, I found a topic in InsanelyMac about this error occurring when people tried to install SnowLeopard on modern CPUs as Core i7, as the OS does not recognize modern CPU it was not designed for. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point."Īltough I was able to virtualize all later OSX (from 10.5 to 10.9), no luck with Tiger. "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. However, as soon as I powered on the virtual machine, at the grey Apple logo, I got a VMWare error: The VMware USB Arbitration Service service was started successfully.Sometime ago I tried to virtualize OSX Tiger 10.4.9 with install DVD from my MacBookPro 2007.
