... it looks like all files are named Mac OS X Leopard.part001.rar. I'll try by renaming all of them, but I'm not sure this is normal... |

... It works straight out of the box! :cheer: He's even remembered to leave the administrator password under the doormat.  Brilliant TechnOmage - Since you claim to be a mage, you might like to consider note that a) 36x98M files at 100KB/s = 10 hours :whistle: b) I paid the extra 6 [$12] and got 350KB/s on a single threaded download and with several files going at once got the whole thing in a an hour and a half. c) I've rarely seen speed like that from a torrent (possibly never) I would suggest some MD5 checksums. But Thanks a million. That is a big step forward. |

No prob No probs at all. And ethernet is working too now, posted up instructions in the article above  And it also works on VMware Fusion to boot! |
pcwiz

To molyss.. Thats kind of weird. If you downloaded the individual parts (all separate links) it should be part 001 002 003 and so on. Try unzipping the first 001 RAR file and see if everything else unzips itself. If it doesn't try renaming them like you said. |

... Everything is working fine on my Dell laptop. Even sound. The 'exclusive mode' in Vmware is funny. I'm the proud owner of a Macbook now :cheer: I tried some different settings for the ethernet: no luck... And that makes the virtual machine quite useless for me personally. I would love to read a solution for this problem from somebody. |
pcwiz
said:
|
ethernet Didn't you try the Ethernet instructions posted above? They worked fine for pretty much everyone |
mounster
said:
|
... Wow, those Ethernet instructions weren't there the last time I checked :dry: I tried something similar allready, but after that, I experimented with Maxxuss. So I guess, maybe I damaged the installation by doing that. I'm gonna try now with a fresh Virtual Machine. |
pcwiz
said:
|
Ethernet Yeah I added those instructions minutes ago. I don't think you can damage a VM by adding a Maxxuss kext but I guess you should start off with a fresh one anyway |
pcwiz
said:
|
EFI I forgot to add that this release includes PC EFI v5.2 preinstalled so you COULD try vanilla kernels if you are the adventurous type |
sleepy
said:
|
... The Ethernet instructions didn't work for me at first. I set VMware to bridged, booted and set OS to on DHCP - nothing. I rebooted - still nothing I rebooted with VMware set to host only - nothing. I changed OS to manual and set some appropriate values - nothing. I changed OS BACK to DHCP and now networking works fine with VMware on host only and OS on DHCP. ifconfig was totally unhelpful through all this - and rebooting was very slow (like network timeout slow) while this was going on. I think that there is just something not initialising properly. |
pcwiz
said:
|
Weird.. It works for most, I can guarantee that. Rebooting is always pretty slow, it took around 5 minutes for me and this was on a quad core Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor :s Might have something to do with your current net connection. |
mounster
said:
|
... Hmmm, the Ethernet instructions don't work for me. I tried what sleepy did and I noticed that I got an ip address after switching back from manual to DHCP. But that gave me no internet connection. I guess that is related to the fact that I haven't got Internet Connection Sharing enabled on my Vista host. My net connection isn't weird at all I think. I can run Win XP, Ubuntu, OS X Tiger flawlessly in VMWare with ethernet... Apart from that, I used this screen resolution, which works fine for my display: Graphics Mode 1990x1200x32 |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Limited success with the Ethernet then I guess..have you tried the MaxxussAMDPCNET kext for Ethernet? I'm glad the resolution fix works at least. |
pcwiz
said:
|
method 2 There is another method I found to get Ethernet to work, I've updated the article with "Method 2" instructions. Try them if the other Ethernet how to didn't work. |
sleep
said:
|
... 5 minutes with a Q6600! My system is booting to a usable system (background activity still going on but a ready screen display, arrow cursor etc) in just under 2 minutes 30 on a 32 bit 2.16 GHz notebook, off the internal notebook drive hosted by XP sp2. I wondered why you were making such a point about the system not being fast. Mine is quite usable at this speed. However, the network behaviour is consistent as described i.e. I have to boot the system then swap from DHCP to manual and then back to DHCP before I can use the network. Also I can only get Host Only to work, not bridged. Which is fine in practice as host only is all I need. |
pcwiz
said:
|
more... I've posted patching instructions for AMD SSE3 and I've also added another method for getting Ethernet working. Try the Method 2 mentioned in the top article sleep. Yeah it might be usable but its not too practical. Mine isn't exactly what you'd call usable, I have a Q6600. Its about the speed of a (really) slow G3. I guess it might be because I've used OS X natively on this same PC and its much faster. |

Rapidshare mirror I've updated the text file to include Rapidshare mirror links, thanks to rnr of InsanelyMac for mirroring it to Rapidshare. |
pcwiz
said:
|
sse2 and ethernet I'll research a bit on what the patch is to get it to work with SSE2. For now, try the patching for AMD SSE3 and see if it works with AMD SSE2 as well. For Ethernet configuration you need a a version of VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, or VMware Server (not tested yet). |

... VMWARE Sever doesn't work. I can't get ethernet to work. Host-only works but i need NAT or bridged.  |
pcwiz
said:
|
VMware Server So the entire thing doesn't work on VMware Server or just Ethernet? P.S. The torrent of this is on Mininova, called "~pcwiz's VMware Leopard Image" |
ksong12

awesome job! Ah, ya beat me to it! I was going to upload a torrent with your permission; I just finished downloading all parts from file factory. |

Ethernet still giving issues Awesome job setting up this VM - I am still having issues with the ethernet though - I am running this on a Dell D620. VM boots up just fine, but when I go to the network settings the error that I am consistently getting is that the ethernet cable is unplugged. - Ethernet Bridged - Tried attaching to both my ethernet card and wireless without luck for both - Tried both Ethernet scenarios. I also tried the manual to dhcp switch, but still get the "ethernet cable is unplugged" notice. Any other help would be appreciated - thanks again! |
ksong12
said:
|
same I am also having troubles with networking. And it's really slow in a Q6600, almost unusable. I wish 2 CPUs would work, but it gives me a stack error. I tried both methods, but neither works. |
pcwiz
said:
|
... ksong12, I actually didn't upload it, NCSXP2005 (from InsanelyMac) did. It says 0 seeds but there actually are quite a few seeds, I'm getting top DL speeds. xxSlideRulexx For me it said cable unplugged but Ethernet still worked fine. Disable all firewalls on your system and try. ksong12 (again), I tested it with 2 CPUs on a Q6600 and no stack errors. It doesn't really matter though since 2 CPUs does not seem to yield any visible speed increase. Speed is what I am working on right now. |
pcwiz
said:
|
seeds There are a lot of seeds, I don't know why it says 0 seeds on the torrent page. I've reported it to Mininova. |
nrg
said:
|
... I am connected now and I only see people with 40% completion. It is going up slowly. Yesterday everyone I could see was at 15%. Thanks for the quick response and checking up on it for me. |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Yeah, I was getting top speeds on my connection with the torrent yesterday. I hope Mininova takes a look into it as to why its not showing the right number of seeds. |
ksong12
said:
|
speed Did you simply choose 2 CPUs? Did you do anything special? It doesn't work for me like that. |
nrg
said:
|
... pcwiz, I am following your guide within ubuntu via vmware. I am interested in helping you get this working in linux. It currently hangs at the silver background screen with a mouse pointer, so I can't see the verbose output at that point. Can't really tell whats wrong. Is there an easy way to check the boot logs? |
Trovadorz
said:
|
Torrent incomplete Speed is pretty fast, around 140KB/s, but nobody has the whole thing! Max completion is like 59% and average is 40%. Please seed the whole thing those who have it! |
xxSlideRulexx
said:
|
still stuck on the ethernet pcwiz - Firewalls wide open, but still not able to connect. Cable unplugged status still shows and I am not connected. thanks- |
pcwiz
said:
|
... nrg, You could always just get this premade VM if the guide doesn't work for you. Leave it for up to an hour, it takes a long time. Trovadorz, I have the entire thing, since I made the image, but how do I seed it with uTorrent? I tried making a VMware Image folder like in the torrent and sticking the parts inside it but it doesn't work. ksong12, Yeah I just chose 2 processors. Also, I'm using VMware Workstation 6.0.0 build 45731 if that helps. xxSlideRulexx, Not really sure what to recommend at this point. Maybe try unzipping a fresh VM from the part files and try the steps again. |
mounster
said:
|
... Same here, both ethernet methods don't work for me. Firewall disabled makes no difference. Ehm, method 3 please  |
pcwiz
said:
|
Seeding it now Seeding it now at 60 kilobytes / second, I know its not that fast but as soon as there are a few people with 100% completion, assuming some of them will seed, I can stop seeding. |
pcwiz
said:

For those whose Ethernet doesn Hang on there. For some Ethernet still doesn't work, I also will mention that once you set your settings and reboot, the configuration will be gone so you have to reset it again. Meanwhile I recommend you: - Turn off ALL hardware and software routers temporarily - Try both ethernet methods multiple times - Make sure you restart the VM after adding ANY ethernet devices or after changing the ethernet mode - Try all the ethernet modes, restarting the VM after changing each one |

said:

... Am using VM Player and unlike VM Server there is no VM Menu. Have tried all suggested steps to get ethernet to work ,including MAXXUSS, nothing has worked so far. The system itself works (A+). Is there something I can add to the configuration (Other.vmx) that will get it to work? Thanks |
techn0mage
said:
|
... Thanks again to pcwiz for making this possible Anyone manage to get the iphone SDK working on this? I got it installed, but xcode often hangs and/or crashes on startup |
pcwiz
said:
|
... dazzyl, You need VMware Workstation (commercial) or VMware Server (free) to set up Ethernet. VMware Server is free so you can use that. tech0mage, Try going to the F8 boot menu and typing in: mach_kernel.toh And hit enter. See if Xcode now works. |

Downloading file parts? Thanks pcwiz for all your hard work! Is anyone having trouble downloading some of the file parts from File Factory? I have gotten all of the others downloaded but am not able to get part 26 to download. Any ideas? |
pcwiz
said:
 |
Yeah Yeah, you are right. I'm reuploading part 26 right now, I'll update the text file when its done. Meanwhile, there are Rapidshare links at the bottom of the text file and so you could just grab part 26 from there. |

said:
|
... Thanks for this. Have been downloading for about an hour off filefactory, and its going fine. I want to test out osx86 before actually installing it. Is there any way to convert a virtual machine into a physical installation? This would make life much easier... |
pcwiz
said:
|
... You can convert the VMDK virtual disk to an IMG file with qemu-img and you can write it onto a partition and OS X would be converted to a physical install |
maxpilax

... Doesn't work on VMWare Server 1.0.5 on Linux. Gives an error "Unable to add virtual machine "/data/vmware/Virtual Machines/Mac OS X Leopard/FreeBSD 64-bit.vmx" to the inventory: Configuration file was created by a VMware product with more features than this version" How to fix this ? |
Legioner
said:
|
... Hi, it works really well  But what do you mean with "qemu-img" ? qemu 0.9.1? I've downloaded it and i don't see any chance to convert the VMDK virtual Disk. best regards... |
pcwiz
said:
|
... maxplilax, You have 2 options. One is to use VMware Player or VMware Workstation and the other option is to make a new virtual machine in VMware Server and set it to use the leopard.vmdk file in the package. Legioner, qemu-img comes as part of the qemu package. Are you on Windows or Linux? |
Legioner
said:
|
... Hi, i use Windows Vista x64 The problem is, that i don't know the exact command. The first try was: qemu-img convert leopard.vmdk Leopard.img So 2 questions: 1. How long does such a convertion take? 2. how do i use that new file for an physical install? Do i have to mount the new img file and copy all files in it on a new partition? Sorry, in that things im new best regards... |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Here are the instructions: * First of all, create a new directory in the ROOT of your C: drive called "leo". This is where all our files will go. * Put the leopard.vmdk file from this package into that leo folder in the root of the C drive * Download the qemu-img.zip patched file (here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2t9sjnylu2i) 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 img leopard.vmdk leopard.img * That last command will create a leopard.img 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. I hope this helps |
maxpilax
said:
|
... Hi pcwiz Tried making a new VM and used leopard.vmdk. At least it starts booting up now, but freezes with error "calibration failed with 2 attempts". My guess is something in the BIOS so I'll go back and see if I can fix it. Thanx |
Legioner
said:
|
... hm, works fine, but when i execute the commands you've wrote i get this: qemu-img: Unknown file format '' don't know why this is coming up The second thing is, what is the next step after creating this img file? still don't know how to start this then |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Hmm, thats weird, but I checked and I guess IMG is not supported. Try RAW: qemu-img convert -O raw leopard.vmdk leopard |
Legioner
said:
|
... Oh, thanks, that worked well But what are the next steps? the onlx thing i now is, that i should convert raw to img, right? best regards... |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Do you have a spare hard drive, because this can't be installed to a separate partiton. |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Yeah, you need something with at least 17GB of free space. You could grab a cheap external hard drive or internal one, they're not too expensive. Thats one of the limitations of using a premade image, if you want to install natively onto a partition then get an installer DVD, you can install to a partition with those. |
Legioner
said:
|
... Well, i found some space on my disk. Yes, i have a spare disk One question: Is it alot faster with this solution expect using VMware? |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Yes, it is a lot faster running natively. Do you have a processor that supports SSE2 or SSE3? Can you post up your full system specs? So you have an extra hard drive? |
pcwiz
said:
|
... OK, first go to your Start menu and in the search box (you have Vista right?) enter: Computer Management Click the link that comes up. Accept the UAC warnings. On the left panel click on Disk Management and let it load. From the disk chart, there will be disks labeled like Disk 0 and Disk 1. Find the spare hard drive you wanted to install OS X onto and check the Disk number (e.g. Disk 1). Tell me what the number is. |
Legioner
said:
|
... Disk 1 right now there are 2 partitions I have Vista in german, so sometimes it's quite difficult to f ind the things you want me to find, but the only disadvantage is that it takes more time Another question: Is it possible to make a seperat partition after i've installed OS X on it? are there complications with the format? |
gerix76
said:
|
... I have a problem with Network. Neither of two methods do not work, installing Maxxuss AMDnet patch does not work either. The problem can be ifconfig says en0 interface has MAC address 00:00:00:00... (all zeros) Changing ethernet MAC type in .vmx file from "generated" to static" does not help either. The host OS is Kubuntu 7.10 |
mmaximmus
said:
|
... I'm having the same problems with network not working. Using vmware 6.0.3 (latest) I've tried all methods listed here and the other one methods 1,2,3 (including maxxuss). thanks for the image though. still like playing with it, but network would be really nice. |
mmaximmus
said:
|
... I also want to confirm with gerix76 about how the ethernet device shows up with mac address of 00:00:00:00:00 in the OS even though in the vmx file, it is clearly something different. This usually means the hardware is failing to talk with the OS. |
dphelps
said:
|
... I've been reading over the ethernet problems everyone is having, but I think I have a different problem. I was following the steps in method 1 and when I got to the step that says: "It will say that a new interface (en0) has been detected, choose the Ethernet Adapter from the left pane", I never get the message that an ethernet adapter has been found. I only have firewire in the list. My Ethernet shows up as connected in vmware player at the top though and it shows set as NAT. If I click the plus sign to add an interface though, all I get are: VPN, PPPoE, and 6 to 4. Is there any way to get the ethernet card to show up to osX? Many thanks! dphelps |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Legioner, OK back up all important data and wipe the Disk 1 clean and make it so that there is only 1 partition, formatted as FAT32. All who are having troubles with Ethernet, This may sound really obvious but cycle through the modes, Bridged, NAT, Host-only, etc. and see if one works. Keep in mind that after changing any settings you must restart OS X Leopard to see any changes. Then follow Ethernet methods 1 and 2. It really seems like a hit and miss for Ethernet right now. |
mmaximmus
said:
|
... Just to shed some light in the network/Ethernet situations. Host-Only (vmnet1) and NAT (vmnet  work perfectly. I do the methods 1 and 2, reboot, and it picks up the IP address no problem over DHCP. I can ping my host computer from OS X. But Bridged (vmnet0) does not work no matter what I try. I made sure VMWare Bridge Protocol is installed and enabled on Local Area Connection. |
Josh
said:
|
... So you must have a seperate hard disk to install this image and make it run natively, or just a partition with enough space? I've got it (10.5) running in VMware with internet working just fine though it's a little slow. Reason I was asking is because regardless of what install dvd I use for a native installation gives me "waiting for root device" or a multimedia failure and I know it's not the DVD because I've burned them with every program possible at the slowest speeds. Could I follow the method you have linked on your vmware tiger page to go from VMware to native (on insanelymac) and using easybcd for the boot options? I have have AMD (SSE3) and the leopard file has already been patched with Marvin's AMD utility. |
Josh
said:
|
... I have your leopard package running right now as we speak. I was referring to leo4all and zephyroth's dvd's. Not to mention JaS 10.4.8 wouldn't boot natively but ran well on VMware. |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Legioner, I'm sorry I gave you the wrong convert command. Go back to the command prompt (assuming that the leopard.vmdk file is in the C:/leo folder along with the patched qemu-img.exe file. Type into command prompt: cd C:/leo qemu-img convert -O raw leopard.vmdk leopard.img OK? Josh, For installing without a DVD you need a separate disk, no partitions |
Josh
said:
|
... Bummer. It's good to know that though! I tried to install jas 10.4.8 natively through VMware and kept getting a VM error while trying to erase a designated partition. I tried vmount too (http://www.abinsight.com/vm/?ver=1.1.0.0), which is a foggy program and got nowhere, lol. But your pre-packaged leopard is working like a charm! |
Legioner
said:
|
... Hi, no problem. I've done that right now, whats the next step? (Is it possible to make 2 seperate partition that are formatted with FAT32? Will it work or do i need a whole disk and one partition?) best regards... |
pcwiz
said:
|
... Legioner, Confirm that you have a leopard.img file in the c:/leo directory and make sure that you have 1 separate disk with 1 partition connected and ready (Disk 1 right?) |

... Just a FYI, I got this error message trying to run this VM in VMWare Server as well: "Unable to add virtual machine "/data/vmware/Virtual Machines/Mac OS X Leopard/FreeBSD 64-bit.vmx" to the inventory: Configuration file was created by a VMware product with more features than this version" The solution was to open the .vmx file and change. virtualHW.version = "8" to: virtualHW.version = "4" Then it was able to boot. However, my machine being AMD, it didn't boot past the Apple logo. Is there a pre-patched version I can download? |
pcwiz
said:
|
... dreamermd, This is everything included, even the virtual hard disk file with Leopard, all ready to go out of the box. GnatGoSplat, Did you read the AMD SSE3 patching instructions? |

GnatGoSplat
said:
|
... Yeah, I read the AMD SSE3 patching instructions, and it looks like a whole lot of work for someone who doesn't already have a working Tiger VM (I don't). I was hoping there would be a pre-patched Leopard floating around, or at the very least, a pre-patched, pre-packaged Tiger VM I could use to patch Leopard. |

said:

... Legioner, OK First back up all data and make sure that your drive is connected, and formatted as FAT32 with one partition. Verify that it is listed as Disk 1, and download dd.exe from here: ftp://ftp.uu.net/vendor/sun/solaris/x86/dd.exe Put dd.exe in the c:/leo folder where your leopard.img file should be as well. Now, on Vista go to the Start menu and type in Command prompt (or find it manually), right click it and select Run as administrator (without administrator it won't work). Then enter the following commands (2 commands, after dd it is all one line): cd c:/leo dd if=leopard.img of=?DeviceHarddisk1Partition0 bs=5M --progress Wait for it to complete and don't do anything else while its going. Once its done, reboot your computer and set it to boot from the hard drive you installed to. Pray and hope everything goes well! Remember BACK UP FIRST!! GnatGoSplat, I'm sorry, I only have Intel so I didn't patch it for AMD. As mentioned there are instructions for making a Tiger VM here: http://pcwizcomputer.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=36&Itemid=45 There is also a torrent on TPB called "VMware OS X 10.4.7" seth, Yes if it works for Legioner then I will make a guide dreamermd, Glad it works For Ethernet try ethernet methods 1 and 2 posted in the article and also try switching between the different Ethernet modes (bridged, nat, host only, etc.) Remember to restart the Leopard VM every time you change Ethernet settings! |
Legioner
said:

... Hm, it says that the program is not compatible to my windows version (i've got Vista ultimate x64) There were no succes starting it in Windows XP mode. Any idea ?  |
seth
said:

... pcwiz, im following what you're telling legioner, the .img is made. This is what the dd command reported. (I changed to drive number to match my own system) C:leo>dd if=leopard.img of=?DeviceHarddisk0Partition0 bs=5M --progress dd: Invalid number of arguments. Copyright (c) 1991 by: Michael L.

pcwiz
said:
|
... seth, If XP is on Disk 0 then that means that you are completely overwriting it. Is that what you want? Its pretty dangerous to run that on Disk 0, don't say no one told you Legioner, Yeah that does seem to be the problem. Thats the same command used in the Leopard flat image so I don't see any other problems. |
seth

... I downloaded the preinstalled VM and I changed the line for version from 6 to 3 then to 4 and it tells me: "This CPU is VT-capable, but VT is not enabled (check your BIOS settings). You have configured this virtual machine as a 64-bit guest operating system. However, this host's CPU is not capable of running 64-bit virtual machines or this virtual machine has 64-bit support disabled. For more detailed information, see http://www.vmware.com/info?id=152." A little help please!!!!!! |
pcwiz
said:

... seth, Maybe its a bad command, I'm gonna see if I can find an alternate command. Rodney, Change the guest OS to FreeBSD (its FreeBSD 64 bit by default). You need an SSE3 supporting CPU though. |
Rodney
said:
|
... I did it and it's still stuck at the grey screen. The pinwheel doesn't even show. Also when I try to change "virtualHW.version" from 3 to 4, it goes back to 3 after failing to boot. |

On a real computer, this would amount to a reset of the processor. It can be caused by an incorrect configuration of the virtual machine, a bug in the operating system, or a problem in the VMware Workstation software.

... Rodney, Try booting OS X in verbose mode. Right at the vmware splash screen click inside the window and start tapping F8 fast, eventually you get to a boot: prompt. Type in -v and hit Enter, record the messages where it stops. beckend, Have you patched it for AMD SSE3 yet? It won't work without patching tangstr, As with the advice for Rodney, get to the F8 boot: prompt, type in -v -x and hit Enter and try. whois, Same thing I said for tangstr, type in -v -x at the F8 boot prompt, hit Enter and see if it works. Maggie, Yes that does seem to be a problem for many, try using an older version of Xcode. kodevoder, Does it get to the Apple screen with the spinning wheel? As long as the wheel is still spinning leave it for 30-40 minutes and see if anything happens. Mo, No this does not need a 64 bit computer however it does need SSE3. This would work fine with your C2D laptop, but not your P4 desktop. |

... Nice job! Tested with ubuntu and VMplayer, worked without networking Tried VMServer (on the same set of files) and worked without networking then tried to add networking just the way suggested, after adding ethernet related lines to the vmx file, and it is now stuck at the apple logo (now without spinning cursor ) It also no longer work in VMserver even on a clean set of files May need to go back to VMPlayer, it might have changed something making it suitable for VMServer. Tried F8 but doesnt work Workaround: Intel Quad Core Duo |
dashesy
said:

... Just wanted to report success on VMPlayer in Ubuntu Just add the following lines to the end of the file "FreeBSD 64-bit.vmx", which brings the Ethernet button to the top of the player. Then follow the second advice on networking (I tried it and worked for me so did not try the first advice) Lines to add: ethernet1.present = "TRUE" ethernet1.start Connected = "TRUE" ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000" |

... What a challenge it has been trying to get this thing patched for AMD!!! Ok, I downloaded "VMware OS X 10.4.7"... turns out it's not AMD compatible either! So I downloaded a VMware OS X 10.4.1, also known as the "deadmoo" image. It boots... but very, very slowly (takes 10-minutes or longer on an AMD X2 4400 w/4GB RAM). Then I realized I need to get that AMD patch program into it and I don't know how. I don't know any way to read my NTFS hard drive from OS X. So I get the bright idea, I'll enable a network adapter and download that patch via Safari. After enabling the network adapter, 45-minutes later it STILL hadn't finished booting (stuck at the blue desktop background with the spinning color wheel and magnifying glass on the upper right corner). So I guess the deadmoo image doesn't like the network adapter. Any ideas on how to get that patch program into Tiger without using a network connection? |

DVD ROM drive ATA D: . Host OS : Win XP SP2 : was tweaked for faster speed, no-unnecessary services or program in background . VMWare : Workstation v6.0.3.8004 ) . booting takes about 3 to 5 minutes . ethernet (bridge-mode) still not working , so working on that now . This is how i followed your instruction and further to install it : (basically copy-pasting instruction from your (pcwiz) site, and dmnd ). AMD SSE3 system (check with the cpu-z tool (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php) to see if your amd processor have SSE3 or not) . To use this torrent image on AMD based system, we need (Mac OS X) Tiger Img installed insie a VM, first . According to pcwiz (actual instruction for tiger is here http://pcwizcomputer.com/index...&Itemid=45), get VMWare v6.0 build 45731 (from here [link removed] or from vmware site, ky from here [link removed]). ~ Bry8Star .

Open the "Free BSD 64-bit.vmx" with notepad . find the line starts with "virtualHW.version", change value from 6, into 4 . add (bios.bootDelay = "5000") without the first braces symbols, in one line, as first line in config file . add (paevm = "true") at the end . add (numvcpus = "1") at the end . save config file, close notepad . Run this "Mac OS X Leopard" new VM, and click on the black screen very quickly, and press F2 also very quickly right after that, to go inside the Bios . in main Bios screen, choose the Legacy Diskette A and set it to Disabled . goto Advanced - I/O Device Configuration, disable all Parallel, Floppy, and Serial controllers . press F10 to save changes and reboot. After that, you should be able to boot the Leopard VM . if it doesn't work, press F8 while the Leopard VM is booting, to get to the "boot:" prompt, and type in -v and hit Enter . it may take from 15 to 30 minutes first time to finalize the initial configuration, when you're in desktop, change time, timezone, start usin. Next time, booting may take 3 to 6 minutes. You should also make a clone copy of this VM, after successful completion, or when u made any major changes inside Leoprad, so you can go back to previous state if some fatal error occurs. Print the pcwiz's original instruction pages, becomes very helpful if u come across a trouble/error . ~ Bry8Star . Apr22,2K8,Tue,3:16PM,PST. |

... GnatGoSplat, speakerscream, and Andoras, I know its hard to patch it for AMD, it should be relatively easy to get a 10.4.8 VM up and running using an ISO image. I didn't know that the 10.4.7 image was not AMD compatible, I assumed that like JaS's 10.4.8 release, 10.4.7 was also universal. I've already tried to mount it and change the files, but it won't mount properly. Its the only way to do it I'm sorry to say. Bry8Star, Thanks for the posted Tiger VM instructions. I have removed the links to the torrents however, because we don't really want that kind of stuff here. We are trying to encourage supporting software developers as much as possible. |

VM wasn't booting, and fount out that config file was changed automaticlly ! to a different MAC address . So i had to remove the ethernet adapter and add another ethernet adapter as same name "ethernet0", and re-enter all those lines back, then VMware wasn't changing it automatically, at least . but now the Leopard VM is not booting at all , spinin for ever ! :-( ~ Bry8Star .

... Hi there, for those who have problem to get network working, here are workaround using Proxy : - Setup VMware to use Host only networking (see previous post to get that work) - Download and install Proxy from http://www.proxyplus.cz/ - Add IP address of Leopard which DHCP assign into Proxy configuration (Proxy web interface -> Security -> Secure Clients) and restart Proxy - Open Network in Leopard for en0, click Advanced -> Proxies - Check protocol "Web Proxy (HTTP)" and type into "Web Proxy Server" IP of Your host (need to be in same subnet as Leopard) and type default port 4480 - Apply all changes - Try opening some Internet address ... and wholaaa it work! Those solution is not perfect but at least can surf the Internet or run software update. For other services (HTTPS, FTP ...) need to additionally configure Proxy Here are overview of my setting: - Cable unplugged still shown - Configure Using DHCP - IP Address: 192.168.10.128 - Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 - Router: none - DNS Server: 192.168.10.1 - Host IP Address: 192.168.10.1 |

... Tim Cooper, Don't use all caps please You have to open the file called "FreeBSD-64bit.vmx" in VMware. payanddisplay, No problem, glad you enjoy it! Dan, Like I said to many others here if a part is missing on FileFactory then just grab the missing part from the RAPIDSHARE or TORRENT mirrors. |

... Hi PCWiz, Thanks for sharing this fab resource and also very helpful and easy to understand instructions. It all went fine with me, however once I downloaded the software updates (didn't download the timemachine one) it asked me to restart and since last 3 hours it's still installing software update (states...

... Could use another suggestion for networking. I can only get it to work occasionally by setting the mac address to match the address in .vmx and use bridged networking. Neither nat or bridge is reliable through a reboot, though. Looks like osx only occasionaly does something behind the scenes that makes it recognize the network card, and what triggers it to wake up is unknown. |

... Found something that may help others. Use Safari to surf to a known good web site. I use my router's IP address. You'll see the error message, but keep Safari up and visible. As you execute pcwiz's network fix #2 steps, you'll see Safari suddenly bring up the web site at some point. Stop executing the fix steps at point and go no further. This seems to work reliably in my setup in which I am using Bridged networking, and the machine is attached to a router that has a DHCP and DNS server. |

... It works great ( a little slow, but that's to be expected in a VM environment ) Downloaded the vm through the torrent worked great. Pulled right up on my Dell Precision m90 laptop (intel core duo) with 3 gb ram. The only problem I had was the ethernet. Did method 1 and then method 2 no go. Came back to it later and tried again. no go. Edited the vm file and added the ethernet lines. no go. Finally just kept switching the VM Ethernet settings from bridged to NAT. Reboot VM then tried method 2. Still no go. Switched to Custom Specific virtual network with VMnet0 (default Bridged) in dropdown. Rebooted VM. did method 2 and it saw the network and got a DHCP assigned IP address. And I was surfing the net. Thanks pcwiz. Great job and a cool idea |

... Thanks a lot PCWiz. I first saw your guide on how to install Leopard on VMware. I was gonna go through the steps to do it, but then I thought, why doesn't he just post the VMWare drive of it and save us the trouble? Then I decided to search the green demon and it was. Save me several hours. It runs slows as hell on my Q6600 Vista 64 box, but it works. Great job! |

... Hi, I've finished downloading the torrent, and figured out how to extract everything correctly with WinRAR. The first time I started the image, I got a message about my computer not being 64-bit. That was fine (and true, since I'm just running a 32-bit host system). I changed the guest OS setting to FreeBSD. Leopard wouldn't load. I renamed the files to remove the 64-bit part. I tried the -v and mach_kernel.toh troubleshooting tips as suggested above, but Leopard still wouldn't load. I basically got the same last line as OSXNoob above (http://i280.photobucket.com/al...XError.jpg), but with the following two added lines: "Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform" has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style." "ACPI: Button driver prevents system sleep" line after that." I've left the screen on for over 15-20 minutes, to no avail. My host OS is Vista. My Core 2 Duo processor uses SSE3. All other specs are fine. |

... I've also undone the filename changes I made, and Leopard still will not boot. I've tried keeping the same UID as well (which VMware prompted me with), not just creating a new one. |

... I've deleted the whole appliance package, and copied an untouched (other than the virtualHW change suggested) Leopard appliance over. I changed the guest OS to be "FreeBSD" and opted to create a new UUID, which VMware Server prompted me. I've tried both VMware Server and Player. Leopard still hangs at the gray boot screen, with the centered Apple logo. I've let it run for over an hour. This is the screen I have: http://img101.imageshack.us/im...osesr6.png Can you suggest anything? Thanks in advance. |

... First of all let me congratulate Pcwiz for the great work. The VMware image is running fine on a VMware Workstation 6.0.4 build-93057. My hardware is a T60p laptop with 3Gb of RAM, Intel Duo T2600 and SS2/SS3 capable. The problem is that I cannot install the 10.5.3 update. I tried several methods: Apple Software Update, download and install macosx1053update and macosx1053comboupdate manually and even modified update packages as kalyway_10.5.3_ComboUpdate and JaS OsX86 10.5.3 Intel SSE3 Combo Update in combination with workarounds like running a shell script to remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext while the update is running. The result is that I either get a VMware severe error message saying that the cpu has been disabled or the whole Leopard OS locks or in the middle of the install the display switches to a blue screen and never boots back. Has anyone been able to install the 10.5.3 update? Thanks. |

... Hi thanks a lot for your great work. Leopard works fine... except about speed. Boot is around 4 minutes.. and I must wait 4 seconds when clicking the mouse to get the result. So my question is what could be tuned or changed in order to get more speed ? (Compared with a classical installal on an AMD bi processors 2.1 Ghz where I got boot in 15 sec and instant mouse click answer...) Ok I agree, intall in this case is much more complex than VMWare method. Thanks Leon |
