Right Adam, accidentally found a fix while I was trying to fix my own.


When you get to the Darwin/Chameleon loader, press F8 and type in -s. Press enter. Once all the hoopla stops, and youre at the #root thing, type in


Then type in


Then just press yes to everything except forATI/Intel drivers if you have a nVidia card, Nvidia/ATi if you use Intel gfx etc, in which case you say NO THX.

Then it should load as normal.

Let us know how it goes dude.

My VMWARE image says otherwise.

Did you use the Deadmoo version? If so, whats it like for usability etc?

If not, WTFHAX! I couldn't get it to work for the love of me.

In all honesty, if you want to try a Windows alternative that doesn't work with any of your existing software, I'd try Ubuntu or Kubuntu 9.04 - Ubuntu isn't quite as pretty but it's very stable. Kubuntu is very pretty but isn't stable but neither are that far behind OSX. Just make sure you don't install it alongside Vista without unplugging the drive with Vista on until it has successfully installed...I've lost no end of MBR's that way. It's fine with XP though.

You can get OSX themes for Ubuntu (Gnome) quite easily, as well as Avant Window Navigator which works just like the Dock.

Did it myself with a genuine disk. I M l33t haxor

I see what you did thar.

You did the PAEthing=TRUE switch in the vmxc file didn't you?

I did that yesterday and got iDeneb working in VMware Workstation. Its slow isnt it?

Not on a cpu that supports VT it isn't. 4GHz i7 ftw

My 3.6ghz Pentium D supports VT I think. :/

Its the one of the later Presler core ones with 4mb cache too. Only downside is it doesn't support SSE4.1, which PCSX2 (a playstation 2 emulator) likes.

Anyway back on topic. Did you get it to work Mr _Adam?
