Vmware 9 installation Mac 10.8 OS

Today, I suddenly had a whim and wanted to experience Mac Os. I heard that the virtual machine installed Maccomputer
would be very card, so I have not tried it. But now I changed the desktop computer
, the memory 16G i5 2500k is also a relatively high-end configuration when changing the machine, and I did not feel the same before running the 4 virtual machines in order to build the openstack test environment. The phenomenon of Caton, at most, disk IO will explode. So decisively divided the virtual machine into 8G memory 50G hard disk, divided into 2 CPU cores

encountered several problems:

1.ebios read error 0x31

This The problem is completely ignored. Wait a moment and press Enter directly to get out of the menu.

2.dmg file is not recognized (if you can directly identify it, it will be exempted from this step)

This The problem can be solved by transferring the DMG image file format. UltraISO is a good conversion software, which can directly convert the dmg file into an iso file. (There may be problems that UltraISO cannot recognize the dumg image. At this point, you can try to load directly using the virtual machine. Mirror or decompress the image, find the file whose dmg is the extension name and use UltraISO to open and format the conversion.

3.CPU virtualization error

A fault has occurred causing a virtual CPU to enter the shutdown state. If this fault had occurred outside of a virtual machine, it would have caused the physical machine to restart. The shutdown state can be reached under inadequately configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the Guest operating system, or a problem in VMware Workstation.

This problem is definitely related to the CPU. You can try to adjust the CPU core number or change the guestOS in the vmx file to such guestOS = "darwin10-64" or guestOS = "darwin11-64" or guestOS = "darwin12-64", if it still doesn't work, you can go to the Internet to find a Vmware patch, then create a new virtual machine can directly find the MacOs corresponding version of the virtual machine, directly select and create a new .

Note: The image after MacOS 10.8 can be started. You don't need to use the boot image. Of course, if you install a physical machine, you can need a boot to select which partition to use as the primary partition for this boot. It is possible to achieve multi-system coexistence.
