[Mac OSx86] Leopard 10.5.2 VMware Installation Guide

Description:

The long awaited guide on how to run Leopard on VMware!

**********

Note: If you want a prepared virtual machine with everything already done for you (Leopard install and all) go here.

What you need:

Intel or AMD SSE3 processor (733MHz minimum)
Leopard Flat Image OSx86
VMware Workstation 6 or VMware Server
Windows 32bit or 64bit or a distro of Linux that can run VMware
Atleast 512MB of RAM, 2GB is recommended
An already working Tiger VMware install on VMware Workstation (use this guide to get that working)
PC EFI v8 ZIP (download here)
ToH 9.1.0 Kernel (download here )
If you want to install 10.5.2 you also need the Kalyway 10.5.2 Combo Updater (from TPB), the kalyway 10.5.2 kernels mpkg (from here ), netkas's 9.2.0 SpeedStep kernel (download here ), mac.nub's SMBIOS27 Default (download here), and the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 from Apple (download here )
qemu-img.exe 0.8.1 with imgover4g fix if you are using Windows (download here )
qemu-img.exe 0.9.1 if you are using Linux (download here , comes with a bunch of other tools but qemu-img is the one you need)
About 20GB of free HD space

Converting the Leopard flat image to the right format:

MD5 Checksums

leopard-x86.rar:

leopard-x86-flat-img

Note for Linux: If you are doing this on Linux, note that all the file paths in this step are Windows only. Adjust the file paths as necessary for your linux system.

First of all, create a new directory in the ROOT of your C: drive called "leo". This is where all our files will go.
Get the Leopard flat image and there is a RAR file, unzip the RAR (unzipping takes a long time) file to the leo folder on your desktop and there will be a file called "leopard-x86-flat-img"
Rename leopard-x86-flat-img to leopard.img (You may get some warnings about changing the extension, just accept)
Download the qemu-img.zip file (at the top in the What you need section) and unzip the qemu-img.exe file in the archive into the leo folder
Open a new command prompt in Windows. Execute the following commands:

cd C:/leo

qemu-img convert -O vmdk leopard.img leopard.vmdk 

That last command will create a leopard.vmdk file in your leo folder. It will take a long time. You will know whem the command is finished when it returns to the "C:/leo>" command prompt. The resulting leopard.vmdk file should be 6.85GB in size

Mounting the leopard VMDK file in VMware

Open VMware Workstation and open your *working* Tiger virtual machine
The guest OS of the virtual machine should be set to FreeBSD or FreeBSD 64-bit (recommended)
Go to the VM menu >> Settings and click Add
Choose Hard Disk and click Next, choose the "Use an existing virtual disk" option and click Next. Browse to your leopard.vmdk disk file and click Finish
The disk should be mounted as a secondary drive for your virtual machine
Boot your virtual machine and it should go into your working Tiger install
If you get an error about a 64bit OS on 32bit and get a VMware stack error, change the guest OS to FreeBSD 64-bit
Once booted up, the Leopard volume should be mounted and ready

Backing up and deleting some bad kexts

In Tiger, open a new Terminal window and run the following commands:

sudo -s

[enter password]

mkdir /pcwizbackup

cp -r /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext /Volumes/Leopard/pcwizbackup/

cp -r /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleEFIRuntime.kext /Volumes/Leopard/pcwizbackup/

rm -rf /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext

rm -rf /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleEFIRuntime.kext

rm -rf /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Installing ToH kernel and netkas EFI SMBIOS

Make a new ISO image file that contains the ToH kernel and the PC EFI v8 zip
This can be done with various ways, in Windows I used MagicISO Maker (linux tools may be different)
Still in your running Tiger VMware machine, right click the CD icon in the bottom right corner and click Edit
Make sure that the "Use ISO image" radio button is checked
Browse to your ISO image you created and click OK to mount the CD ISO
Now a new CD image should appear on your Tiger desktop
If it doesn't, drag any existing CD icons to the trash, right click the CD icon in the bottom right corner of your VM window, click Disconnect, then click Connect to "refresh" it
Anyway now with the CD on your desktop, open up the CD and copy over the mach_toh kernel zip and the pc efi zip to your Desktop
Unzip the ToH kernel zip, there will be a file called "mach_toh". Rename it to "mach_kernel"
Unzip the pc efi zip and there will be a folder called "pc_efi_v80" on your desktop.
Inside the pc efi folder there is an AppleSMBIOS.kext file, move the kext to the desktop
Rename the pc_efi_v80 folder to "iamefi" and move it to the ROOT of your TIGER partition
You should have mach_kernel and AppleSMBIOS.kext sitting on your Desktop
Run the following commands from Terminal:

sudo -s

[enter password] 

mkdir /pcwizbackup 

cp /Volumes/Leopard/mach_kernel /Volumes/Leopard/mach_kernel.flatbackup

cp -r /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext /Volumes/Leopard/pcwizbackup/

rm -rf /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext

cp -r ~/Desktop/mach_kernel /Volumes/Leopard/mach_kernel

cp -r ~/Desktop/AppleSMBIOS.kext /Volumes/Leopard/System/Library/Extensions/

Find out disk identifier for Leopard volume

First, right click on the CD icon on the bottom right corner of your VM window and click Disconnect
Now unmount any CDs you have on your Tiger desktop (drag them to Trash)
Open a new Terminal window and run this command:

diskutil list 

It will give you a list of all your disks
Find the one that says Leopard and check the disk identifier, mine was disk1s1
Remember this identifier

Install PC_EFI

Reboot your Tiger VM, but this time boot into single user mode (-s flag at boot: prompt)
Run the following commands:

/sbin/mount -uw /

cd /iamefi

./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsY ./boot_v5 

On the last line change X and Y to your Leopard disk identifier, e.g. rdisk1s1
It should say something about HFS blocks written or something
You're done! Your Leopard VM is ready for booting

Patching for AMD SSE3

You only need to do this if you have an AMD SSE3 processor (Intel works out of the box)
Firstly, you need to have a working Tiger VM (instructions here)
Mount the leopard.vmdk file as a virtual disk in the Tiger VM
Boot the Tiger VM and you should have access to the Leopard drive
Download Marvin's AMD Utility here
Run it from the Tiger VM, for the "Volume/Directory to patch" choose your Leopard volume
Choose the "Patch all binaries" radio button and Patch
It will take a long time, but eventually it will be done
You should now be able to boot the Leopard VM properly
If it doesn't work, tap F8 while the Leopard VM is booting to get to the boot: prompt and type in -v and hit Enter.

Create a new Leopard VM

Go to File >> New Virtual Machine and create a new VM (you should be familiar with this if you installed Tiger on VMware)
Choose Custom and not typical
Set the Hardware Compatibility to Workstation 6 and click Next
Set the guest OS to "Other" and set the Version to "FreeBSD 64-bit"
Give the virtual machine a name, and preferrably store it in a different partition from the one you are running Windows from, click Next
Set the number of processors to 1 (you can use 2 as well, but there is no visible speed increase) and click Next
Set the amount of memory to half your actual system memory and click Next (more the memory the faster)
Select "Use bridged networking" and click Next
Here, choose "Use an existing virtual disk" and click Next
Browse to and select your leopard.vmdk file that you converted and worked with and click Finish (if it asks you to convert or keep existing format, choose "Keep existing format")
Back at the home screen, double click on the CD-ROM and in the dialog that pops up, uncheck the "Connect at power on" checkbox and click OK
Now go to the VM >> Settings menu and click and Remove the Floppy Drive and the USB Controller

Settings BIOS options

Note: To toggle between the guest OS and the host OS, press Ctrl + Alt

Make sure that all other virtual machines are turned off
Now boot your Leopard VM. Click inside the window immediately and tap F2 as fast as you can to get to the setup
In the main BIOS screen, choose the Legacy Diskette A and set it to Disabled
Go to the Advanced tab >> I/O Device Configuration and disable all Parallel, Floppy, and Serial controllers
Press F10 to save changes and reboot

Booting Leopard up for the first time

Back when you are rebooting after changing BIOS, click inside the VM window and tap F8 as fast as you can
You will eventually get to a boot: prompt
Type -v at the boot prompt and hit Enter
Watch the messages scroll by, leave it for 15-30 minutes until it boots
It will display the Welcome wizard eventually, go through it and you are in Leopard!
If it does not boot, go back to the F8 boot prompt and type in -v -x -f cpus=1 and hit Enter to see if it works

Update to 10.5.2

Take the Kalyway 10.5.2 Combo Update, the kalyway 10.5.2 kernels mpkg, netkas 9.2.0 kernel, mac.nub SMBIOS, and the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 and put them all into a ISO
In your Leopard VM (assuming that Leopard is running and ready) right click the little CD-ROM icon in the bottom right corner and click Edit
Click on the "Use ISO image" radiobox and browse to your ISO containing the 10.5.2 update files, click OK
Now right click the little CD-ROM icon again and click Connect
In minutes, the CD-ROM should be mounted on your Leopard desktop
Go into the contents of the CD and drag everything to the desktop to copy it (this may take a while)
The first thing you want to do is double click the ZIP containing the Kalyway combo updater (the 340MB combo updater, not the kernels package) to unzip it (takes a long time)
Inside the unzipped folder there will be a Kalyway Combo Updater installer package. Run this installer package (just go through the install wizard, its really easy). It will take a really long time to install, even on a Core 2 Quad it to upwards of 30-40 minutes
When it tells you to click restart at the end, DO NOT RESTART
Now unzip the zip file containing the Kalyway kernels package (the small 6.4MB one). Run the kalyway kernels mpkg installer pkg inside
When it comes to the part where it asks you to select the kernel, choose the "patched kernel by modbin"
Click Close at the end of the installation
Now to install the netkas kernel and mac.nub SMBIOS, unzip both of the ZIPs so that you have mach_kernel and AppleSMBIOS.kext sitting on your desktop
Open the Terminal application from Applications >> Utilities folder and run the following commands:

sudo -s
[enter password]
mkdir /1052Backup
cp /mach_kernel /mach_kernel.toh
cp -r /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext /1052Backup/
rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleSMBIOS.kext
cp -r ~/Desktop/mach_kernel /mach_kernel
cp -r ~/Desktop/AppleSMBIOS.kext /System/Library/Extensions

Now, close Terminal and open the Disk Utiltiy application from Applications >> Utilities. Select your Leopard volume from the left pane, and click the Repair Permissions button (it takes a long time, wait till its done and close Disk Utility)
Now finally you can restart. Go back to the Kalyway Como Updater pkg and click the Restart button
It should reboot back into Leopard just fine, with no problems
The next thing to do is the Leopard Graphics Update, mount the Leopard Graphics Update DMG file (double click it)
Run the installer package inside the mounted DMG and Restart
All should be fine now, and you have Leopard with 10.5.2 working on VMware!

Ethernet

Ethernet might be working right after you start the VM (open Safari to test) but if it doesn't work, heres how to set it up:
Open System Preferences from the Dock
Click on the Network preference pane
It will say that a new interface (en0) has been detected, choose the Ethernet Adapter from the left pane
Assuming that your internet is auto configuring DHCP, just click the Apply button.
Even if it says Cable disconnected or not connected, ignore it, Ethernet will still work
It will pull up all your DNS info and everything automatically, close System Preferences
You should be able to use Apple Software Update and go on the net fine!

Ethernet Method 2

If it still doesn't work, here's another method to do it (make sure that you have an Ethernet adapter configured as Bridged and that you have rebooted the virtual machine after adding the adapter)
Go back to System Preferences and open the Network preferences again
Click on Ethernet from the left pane and at the bottom click the Assist Me button
In the resulting dialog box click the Assistant button
The Network Setup Assistant will start up, give the Location a name and click Continue
Choose the "I use a cable modem to connect to the Internet" option
Click Continue again, and then it will take a moment and tell you that you can't connect automatically and to enter some details
Without entering any details click Continue and click OK at the dialog box (this sort of "activates" the Ethernet)
Now click the Go Back button twice to get to the screen to choose a connection option
This time choose "I connect to my local area network (LAN)"
At the Ready to Connect screen click Continue and now it will give you a confirmation that you are connected
Click Done or whatever button and close System Preferences, Internet should be working

What doesn't work

USB doesn't work usually, but for some it did work. Add a USB Controller as a virtual device VMware if you want to try it
Sound partially works, but its too laggy and distorted to listen to
QE/CI doesn't work obviously because there is no video driver for OS X on VMware

	... Is it necessary to have the "pre-packaged" flat image? Or can we modify the original ISO's? Because I have Leo4all and Zeph's Rev 2 ISO and wouldn't mind editing them to save the time downloading. I have a JaS 10.4.8 running in vmware as of right now (Thanks to you PCWiz! Awesome ass guide by the way on that).

	well... It would really be best if you had the Leopard flat image. If you want to do it with your current DVDs, there is a way though. Do a native install from one of your DVDs to a partition and make an IMG image of the partition and proceed. Can't guarantee it will work though

	Just downloaded all 36 parts Alright, so I just downloaded all 36 parts of the vmware image. I started to run it but it is still stuck at the apple screen. Is there any other setup I have to do. I read something about needing tiger already installed or something. What am I missing? Is there a reason it still gets stuck at the apple screen?

WOOOOOO
I finally got this working. It was hell but I LUV IT. I recorded this moment on my phone.
I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 processor.
How I finally did it:
I followed the instructions all the way to the part that I have to press -v at the boot prompt. I did that and got "Calibation failed with 2 attempts". I was REALLY MAD. I had given up 2 days of my life.
So out of anger at the boot prompt I typed in -x because I was mad and my head was xploding. It boots up and I actually make an account. WOO. Then i log on and all I have is a cursor and a background. I restart and try to boot normally and I get stuck at the blue screen. Then I type -v at the boot prompt and It WORKED.

Thank YOU SO MUCH ~pcwiz. U R A GOD

Hey pcwiz, i downloaded your release, worked great in vmware, booted in a couple of minutes. I have tried loads of ways for a native install on a system exactly the same othersare using with no luck... so, i decided to convert yours. (i did not want to use the flat image install method as i needed to keep partitions) i installed in vmware, added a physical disk partition, booted hirens, norton ghost, and cloned the image to the partition. now at long last using easybcd i can boot straight to leopard, however.... the grey loading screen appears (with no entry/smoking sign) and loads.... and loads.... and loads, but nothing seems to be happening.... any ideas as to what i could do? Cheers

Hi! first of all thank you for your work, I've been looking for a way to run Mac OSX 10.5.x on VMWare with an AMD-based pc for about a month..! smilies/tongue.gif

..but basically I needed to do this to install iPhone SDK, which requires version 10.5.3.. I couln't find anything exactly specific for VMWare (and I've googled for hours), but I've tried anyway Apple Software Update, AMD Software Update and this http://leo4all.uni.cc/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=269, but I cannot update to any greater version. When I use one of the two softwares, the installation hangs up after copying files, at 'Running installer script' (that's the screen:

http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1914/maxosx1052updatingen6.jpg

ASU hangs up too while installing, I suppose it stops at the same point. If I stop installation quitting the program, after some seconds, when I try any operation such as browsing folders, the system hangs up too ( smilies/grin.gif

) and doesn't respond, it shows the spinning cursor. And it can't reboot: it hangs at dsmos: starting or something similar. In both the situations CPU and disk aren't working. I didn't expect mac os x to work, since I've interrupted an installation, but I've tried anyway..

I'm going to make other attemps to install it, perhaps from another running machine attaching the disk, but maybe someone could help me solving this problem..! smilies/grin.gif

Well,I'm not an expert but even if sdk would work on 10.5.2, it actually checks OS X version.. Is there any way to cheat and simply change version?! Maybe it's just a "formal" requirement.. There is a tool for changing versions from 10.4.6 to 10.5, does something like this exist for 10.5.3? Seems I don't have many chances to make this update working.. smilies/sad.gif

I got 10.5.2 running from prepared VM and managed upgrading to 10.5.3 from JaS 10.5.3 update.
But can't upgrade to 10.5.4 - installation hangs on "Running Installer Script". I left it working for few hours and did hard reset but vm won't start anymore. It says something about releasing processor. Running with mach_kernel.toh doesn't make it start. Boot screen hangs on apple logo.
I also installed xcode 3.1 on 10.5.3. Everything is working but no xcode itself. It comes back with crash report. Here it is:

http://pastebin.com/f227d72a9

Hopefully someone will figure out soon how to make it running

pcwiz - thanks for great 10.5.2 experience!

I've tried both the -v and -v -x -f command and still i get a blank grey screen. If i just let it boot with out any switches i see the Apple screen then it goes to the same blank screen. I've left it for over 30 minutes and nothing happens.

Please help i'm stuck and not sure what to do next.

Did anyone tried to install the"~pcwiz's VMware Leopard Image" on the VMware ESXi ?
I used the VMware converter to change it to VMW Appliance and then import it to VMW ESXI.
The first problem was the config was not reconised, problem with FreeBSD OS and 2 IDE, that are not allowed for VMW ESXi. I maunally change the config xml .ovf to acceptable for it.
After installation done, when I start the virtual machine, it start booting (gray screen with apple), but it angs and stop !

I just wanted to mention it works like a charm on my VM.

Took about 40 seconds to completely load and runs slightly slow but definately usable. Considering its going from PC > FreeBSD > Mac, a little slowdown is fine. I spent a good 20+ hours working with other images to create a usable VMWare for Mac OSX 10.4.11 or greater without any success. (Closest I got was the loading Apple screen)

I'm currently using this VM to grab screenshots of installs for some software for troubleshooting and showing people where to access file locations. For my purposes this is absolutely great, and I will (hopefully) be able to pickup an official license for Apple soon.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You sir, truly are a PC Wizard

One question remains for me though, is it safe to allow it to access the internet or would Apple find out and try to hunt me down in my sleep?

During the installation of the update (from the Software Update form) I get the "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. You will need to power off or reset the virtual machine at this point." error. Has anyone encountered this before?

Hello All Gurus here,

I used my brain a lot (:-)), and upgraded my mac os to 10.5.8 (release on Aug 5th). After reboot, I got the above error, and it never booted properly after that. So, here is my intelligence, I went back to the old method, such as loaded 10.4.8 kernel and followed again all instructions and booted 10.5.8 Leopard kernel, now I am stuck at "still waiting for root device" and it stuck at this place for ever ... I thought it will pickup properly from SMBIOS, but it seems I lost it. any help here greatly greatly appreciate it. I need this to work badly ... I want to lad iphone sdk on 10.5.8 ... PLZZZ Gurus help me out .... Big, big thanks

	... Too bad, I have the save problem... and i didn't even take a snapshot. I also wanted to update from 10.5.2 to 10.5.8 to install the IPhone SDK, which requires a least 10.5.7. Does anyone know if 10.5.7 runs properly? And if there is a possibility to only update to this older version.

	... Hi, I know someone has asked the same before, but no one replied yet: I tried running this VM with VMWare Player but I cannot access to the local network. When I go to the network pane and try to set ethernet up it says that there is no ethernet available. My network connections are both set to be bridged. Does anyone have an idea?

...
I think I am trying to do something a little bit different from everyone else. I am trying to get Mac OS X (preferably Snow Leopard) running within VMWare Fusion on my Mac. I know that might seem crazy, running Snow Leopard within VMWare on a Mac already running Snow Leopard, but I want an isolated test environment ...

I was able to get the pcwiz leopard image up and running within Fusion, however, I couldn't get the network to work -- any thoughts would be great ...

I tried to upgrade the leopard image to Snow Leopard, however, I couldn't get it to work, either by mounting the install disc within leopard OR by using a Snow Leopard Install flat image ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated ...
