The issue I have been seeing is that when I try to boot a Vista RTM VM on my Mac Pro that it will hang during the boot process, unless I turn off VT-x acceleration (which ends up making it unuseably slow). Someone suggested that you could leave VT-x on and just turn down the "enhanced" acceleration, but when I tried that, it still hung. I was wondering if this was fixed in the latest build -- have you tried Vista on a Mac Pro with full VT-x and does it boot OK? Thanks! |

I can attest that Vista is hanging on the latest build at the new Windows symbol. With the previous build I did not have to modify any of the display acceleration settings for Vista to work. I upgraded, was able to get into Vista just fine. Then updated the Tools and now it hangs on boot. |

Having Vista Boot Problems Too... I upgraded to 3120 as well and did a fresh install of Vista into a VM (I have up on trying to use Boot Camp with XP as I could never get it to work). My Vista install has been working just fine, but for some unknown reason this morning it stopped. When I boot up, the black screen comes up with the green progress/scroll bar thing during boot and at some point the green scroll bar just freezes and the boot stops. No error messages or anything, the green scroll bar just stops. I can boot into Safe Mode, but if I boot into Safe Mode with Networking the boot up stops on "crcdisk.sys" I'm looking around in Safe Mode (without Networking) to see if anything has changed, but it doesn't look like it so I'm at a loss. |

That doesn’t preclude Vista Home editions from being installed on Macs running Boot Camp, however, since Boot Camp isn’t a virtualization or emulation technology — instead, it makes Windows run natively on the Mac. For now, however, Boot Camp is still in beta development, and still officially works only with Windows XP. Meanwhile, the EULA included with Vista Enterprise and Ultimate editions allows that operating system software to be installed on virtual or emulated hardware systems. “In short, this means that if you’re a user and you want to run Vista virtually, you MUST buy the highest end versions of Vista, or you’ll be in violation of the Microsoft EULA,” ajm |
