10.5: Virtualize machine-specific 10.4 in Fusion 2
An update: somtimes it indeed happens that the VM hangs at boot, also in my case, where everything worked from the beginning; but rebooting it from the VMware Fusion menu usually solves the problem. As for the Tiger/Intel DVD version compatibility, I cannot really say, as I only have a 10.4.10 DVD. Updating the system on the VM with the 10.4.11 Combo updater before booting, as said above, could be worth a try, anyway, if the VM hangs or crashes.
10.5: Virtualize machine-specific 10.4 in Fusion 2
I was witnessing this hang overnight. It hung for 20 minutes or so if I didn't access the VM for around 30 minutes. I changed the VM settings to use an ISO image of a Linux distribution as the default attached CD. So far (3 hours now), I've not seen the hang since mounting the disk ISO image rather than using the real drive.
No Luck!
Ugh! It finally hung again. My trick postponed the hang, but it still happened.
VM Still Hangs after all updates
I've now updated to the 10.4.11 level in the VM and I'm still witnessing hangs. However, this time I got a message from VMWare telling me the the virtual CPU had gone into standby mode.
VM Still Hangs after all updates
Have you tried simply disconnecting the virtual CD/DVD drive (from the VM's status bar, on the bottom right of its window)? But maybe there are also other reasons for those hangs, who knows (does the VM go into sleep mode, maybe? if so, you could set it to never sleep in the Tiger VM's Energy Saving preferences)...

I've just changed to not sleep, not put the hard drives to sleep, and no screen saver. I'll report back in a few hours.
VM Running Successfully
I'm pleased to report that the power management stuff seems to have been the problem. I've now run my 10.4.11 VM for far longer than I've ever run it up to now and it's still going strong. While it was running, I used a similar process to test the feasibility of Leopard in the same light and it is also successfully running. |
