Hyper-V
I've recently installed iPC OSx86 10.5.6 PPF6 on a:
Shuttle SP35P2-Pro Core2 Duo E8400 CPU 8GB RAM Intel ICH9R SATA Controller Silicon Image SiI-3124 PCI SATA Controller (for eSATA port-multiplying which ICH9R doesn't support) nVidia GeForce 8500 GT Video Card Marvel Yukon 88E8056 Ethernet Adapter RealTek ACL888 Audio The install was easy... no issues. I downloaded and installed the 10.5.8 combo update, reinstalled the drivers and have been up and running. I have Windows Server 2008 SP2 x64 installed with Hyper-V on the same machine. I have XP Pro (x86) and Windows 7 (x64) installed as Virtual Machines within Hyper-V. I want to install OSx86 in Hyper-V instead of Dual Booting, which is incredibly annoying. So this is what I tried: 1) Using the iPC OSx86 DVD and ISO image to install... just get a blinking cursor... won't boot. 2) Using a Boot 132 CD and ISO image, I can get the boot menu, but can't boot to iPC OSx86 or Retail Leopard DVD or ISO. 3) Then I mounted the shell .VHD as a drive and used MacDrive to copy the Leopard installation over to the VHD. I got a boot error. 4) I figured, I already have an installation on the same physical hardware, so I used WinImage to create a .VHD from a physical drive. Now I get something like: Boot0: ... Boot0: ... Boot0: done Boot1: /Boot ...and then it hangs. 5) I tried the same approach via the Hyper-V virtual disk settings, creating a new VHD from a physical disk. More errors. Anyway, the Leopard drive is formatted as GUID. I thought the VHD from physical drive would surely work. Alas, no. Has anyone had any luck installing OSx86 (any version) as a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V??? Thanks. |

OS X will not boot in most virtual machines. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the bootloader, so far the only success I've had in booting an OS X VM is in VMware (which works extremely slowly, and with barely any hardware support).
