iATKOS v7 virtualised on a PC

[charlesbelisle]

Hi,

I'm trying to virtualise iATKOS v 7 on my Dell XPS m1530 and i'm not able to. I used Virtual PC 2007, VMware v6.0, PearPC and VirtualBox and I recieved many errors :PAE not able
64 bits non supported
Stuck frame on the Apple Logo
*** Virtual machine kernel stack fault (hardware reset) ***
I'm using iATKOS v7 with the VMdonk ISO (i think it's called Darwin). Here's my configuration :Dell m1530
Intel Core 2 Duo T8300
2,40 GHz
4 GB of RAM
32 bits Windows Vista Home Premium
I'd searhed for approx. 5 hours on internet and I found nothing to helo me (-v -cpus=1, Windows NT or FreeBSD / 64-bits, etc : it doesn't work !!)

I already read rapidly all these articles :http://www.vrac-it.fr/apple/mac-os-x/installer-iatkos-v5-sur-une-machine-virtuelle-vmware

Does anybody have a solution for me ? My principal software is Virtual PC so if there's a soluce with this one, i'll be very happy.

Thanks.

that's how i got it to work

use Vmware 6.5 (at least)
set up a new vm using FreeBsd (32 or 64 bit both should work)
network bridged
1 Processor (1core)
HDD (IDE or SCSI both should work,look wht's better for you)
and save it.

now open the .vmx you created and change the value
"guestOS = "FreeBSD"
to
"guestOS = "darwin"

and may be the .encoding = "windows-1252"
to .encoding = "UTF-8"

now it should start the setup, when getting Kernel Panics try
-v cpus=1 busratio= [your busratio here]

I can only get Kalyway 10.5.2 on VMWare 7, no problems at all.

But I want to try iATKOS v7 because apparently they have their own updater built in, and I could update Mac OS high enough so that I can install the latest safari and run itunes and possibly do iphone development.

I tried all of the various guestOS types... none work. VMWare explains that the CPU reset, then when you hit OK you see the kernel panic message, or it explains that the cpu is halted.

I get the following, and interestingly enough google searching this yields nothing at all.

panic(cpu 0 caller 0x001A8FFD): Kernel trap at 0x00422c9d, type 14=page fault
A bunch more numbers...
Error code: 0x00000000
Debugger called: <panic>
A backtrace with a bunch of numbers
Backtrace terminated-invalid frame pointer 0
Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies):
com.apple.driver.AppleAPIC(1.1.0)
org.voodoo.driver.PS2Controller(1.1.0)
com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform(1.0.3)
dependancy: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.4)
dependancy: com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily(1.2.0)

BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task



I take it that iATKOS v7 is not compatible with VMWare Workstation 7?
I did change the .encoding to "UTF-8"
I've tried the following guestOS types
freebsd
freebsd-64
darwin
darwin-64
darwin10
darwin10-64
other

I also tried with and without
ich7m.present = "TRUE"
smc.present ="FALSE"
keyboard.vusb.enable = "TRUE" (also tried "FALSE)
mouse.vusb.enable = "TRUE" (also tried "FALSE)

Any idea's?
Host system is a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows 7 32-bit 2GB RAM (1GB dedicated to VM, 1 CPU/1 core dedicated to VM)
Intel Mobile Core2 Duo T7400 @ 2.16 GHz
It does support SSE 1, 2, 3, and 3S.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, well I have an install going now by passing
toh -v

at the F8 boot prompt. I guess the mach voodoo kernels aren't any good in my system configuration. Kalyway also uses the ToH kernel, so that explains why that works.

It's only installing now... so we'll see what happens when that install is done.
