Finally worked without CPU redirection and without Rosetta. Tried with and without the CPU redirection. So I began to just remove the old and create new machines each time it failed. Sometimes I could restart the virtual machine and try again, although second tries seem never to work. However, install repeatedly failed, early in the process. So here is what I did, which eventually worked, although I must say rather unpredictably:ġ) Create new Virtual Machine using OS X 64 default settings.Ģ) Insert installer disc into optical drive and close when it opens in the finder.ģ) Start up VM, select optical drive, and wait while command lines are processed - 3 mins or so.Ĥ) Proceed with install to the point when the option to do housekeeping is offered.ĥ) Run Disk Utility and erase the virtual hard disk, this will provide a target disk for installation.Ħ) Proceed with install. I may try the redirection later, to see if it facilitates the updating process. What finally worked, thus far, was to run the install without the CPU redirection. Trying to install with Rosetta seemed to hang the install. And I was able only to do a basic install, without modification of the default settings, i.e. It took about a dozen attempts, with and without the CPU redirection (rpmurray's command line), with and without Rosetta, before I was able to replicate my previous success. Promised I would report on my experience with my attempt to reinstall Snow Leopard, and here it is.
