Hello for 1buprofen and the others with the problem :

“Invalid front-side bus frequency 6600000 Hz” when I start the install.

- Launch on darwin
- Fast press F8
- Select H: (HDD) to boot
- Fast press F8
- Enter the command “-v busratio=20 maxmem=4096 -force64″

Enjoy !

At step 3 when I am supposed to hit f8 I keep getting a repeated error message: “EBIOS read error: Error 0×31 Block 0 Sectors 4″ The boot
menu still comes up and i can continue to step 5 when I punch in -v to start with diagnostic message but when I do it starts to load and VMWare has a error message pop up that says “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 by incorrectly configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the guest operating system, or a problem in VMware Workstation.Click OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to power off the virtual machine.” I have tried for a few months to get this to work with no avail. Does anyone know what to do?

This worked great for me! Thanks I got a DMG of Max OSX 10.6 retail and converted it to an ISO and then mounted that after darwin instead of the DVD drive. Worked fine Though Vmplayer crashed after it “restarted” so I had to re-open it and change the initial CD drive back to Darwin, then it worked

Thx guys for the support here! I’ve resolved the problem with the error message “Mac OS X is not supported with software virtualization” on my machine. My CPU is a Core i7 620m and though the setting for VT was enabled in the BIOS, it didn’t work. After disabeling VT in the Bios, saving it, and re-enableing it, it worked just fine. Hope this helps some of you guys!

I am having the same problem as MDH. Here are my steps:
1. Open Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental)
2. Set the CD/DVD drive to the darwin_snow.iso file.
3. Power it up, hit F8 to get the boot options
4. Click on the cd icon in the bottom right corner, then Settings
5. Set the CD/DVD drive to my CDROM drive and set the device status to “Connect” (I have my Snow Leopard 10.6.3 disc in the drive at this point).
6. Exit Settings, type ‘c’, hit f8 when it prompts me and then type ‘-v’ and hit enter.

At this point it runs a bunch of code and then gives me the following popup:
“A virtual CPU has entered the shutdown state. This would have caused a physical machine to restart. This 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. Press OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to power off the virtual machine.”

If I restart it gives me ‘Operating System not found’

What am I doing wrong? I have a Toshiba R835-P56X with an i5-2410M processor on Windows 7 64bit.

Thanks

Thanks for the step-by-step. Got burnt by the ACPI thing, like a lot of folks here – but there’s enough tips here to get through it.

Thanks all!
