All right! After you’re basically done with the virtual machine configuration, everything should work great. But things don’t go always as expected. When you switch on the machine, you’ll see a lovely screen with an error that points to “The CPU have been disabled by default. Power off or reset the virtual machine”. Here’s How to Fix The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS
While Windows computer isn’t the default system to install macOS. The important thing is, Apple doesn’t support installing macOS on non-Apple hardware and is neither willing to do. But that’s not the only one who does this. Perhaps, when we use the patch for VMware, that is because, unlike VirtualBox, VMware Workstation Player doesn’t support installing macOS by default. In this case, when you try to install macOS on VMware without the patch, you’ll end up without installing.
Since installing macOS, whatever version isn’t the supported way, there will be likely problems messing around. Whether you’ve an Intel or AMD processor, you’ll probably need to play the tricky steps. But if you’re installing Mojave on an AMD system, you’ll need to pull off a few more steps including the actual steps which are for both processors. This is a tiny change but really matters. How to Fix The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS
There are several reasons which might cause the problem. The first one is that you may have not configured the virtual machine for your AMD system. While AMD systems are different from Intel ones, we will need to use the different config key for setting up correctly. The other reason that the error can pop up is if you’ve installed the VMware or VirtualBox while the Hyper-v is installed.
While this problem usually happens when installing macOS on VMware, so we will take a look at How to Fix The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS

Change The VM Hardware Compatibility to 10.x
All the usual installing steps are important, but you need to perform some more steps in addition to them. The nice thing is, it’s all done from the vmx file. There are two ways you do get it done. The first way you could do it is from the VMware with the wizard. The other way you could do is from the vmx file. We’ll move with the easier one. This is simple as we have covered you with every step with shots. Here’s how to do it real quick. How to Fix The CPU has been disabled by the guest OS
Go ahead and navigate to the virtual machine files. Now right click on the .vmx file and select Open with and choose Notepad.
When the file opened, change the version number to 10. It will change the virtual machine hardware compatibility to 10.
If you miss changing the hardware compatibility of the machine from VMware, you’ll likely encounter this problem.
Add The Config Key For The Virtual Machine (For AMD Systems Only)
Now without closing the .vmx file, copy the following code and paste it at the end of all lines. If you’ve the config key smc.version = 0 already there, you may remove it and paste this in place of it. It should look like this.
cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001”
cpuid.1.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001”
cpuid.1.ebx = “0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000”
cpuid.1.ecx = “1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011”
cpuid.1.edx = “0000:1111:1010:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”
featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
When you’re done with it, simply save it.
And you’re all set! All there’s left to do is switch the machine on and proceed with the installation.
That’s all well and good. Everything should work
Here are some important fixes given by one of our users @DOUG! Thanks man, so many people found this helpful so I have added your comment to the post for easier access…
Managed to get it working on VMWare 16.0 & a 3700X after looking at the vmware logs for a bit.
Several issues:
1) Ensure you are using normal double-quotes. When copying and pasting it’ll use pretty quotes but vmware will complain (not a valid boolean, etc.)
2) Disabling featureCompat.enable is only supported on hardware versions less than 9. Change that to TRUE (probably can just delete but haven’t tested that yet)
3) cpuid.ss & cpuid.ds are no longer supported on the cpus so need to be removed from the enabled features. Change cpuid.1.edx line to
“0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”
4) With those changes I was then able to bump the virtualHW.version back up to 16.

1. install the most recent python version on https://www.python.org/downloads/
– I installed 3.12.1, and make sure your cmd is recognizing it by running “python –version” in your cmd.
2. install the most recent unlocker on https://github.com/paolo-projects/unlocker/releases/tag/3.0.5 (i installed 3.0.5)
3. go the .vmx file
– change:
virtualHW.version = “X” to virtualHW.version = “16”
– change usb settings to 3.1 or just add:
usb_xhci.present = “TRUE”
– also add this:
smc.version = “0”

Note: I have made several different hardware versions from 21 to 10 and still work.
I am doing a test to try to repair an old iMac of the year 2010, and I need the virtual machine to work so I had to download the original Apple ISO, with the old Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (totally legal with the iso of the manufacturer downloaded of the Apple technical support website). I understand that it is an old operating system that can have problems in the VMware, although it serves it but with the AMD processor they give it problems that when it starts, the message that asks you to restart the virtual machine appears and that is a failure of the image , but the failure really came from a possible processor panic (debugger panic). I have made the Unlocker update to the last most recent version so far, it is 4.2.7, although I also tried the previous 3.0.5 to recognize the list of Apple operating systems in VMware.
I have seen the YouTube videos and it is seen that it is worked, even if it seems a lie. Therefore, I was tried in many ways and please, I need help as soon as possible.
Thank you very much and greetings to all.

AMD Ryzen 5 4000 & GTX 1650 Ti
Worked by using the same VMX config as below comments.
But I changed the the processor number and cores per processor to “1” in VM settings.
And it’s quite slow and takes hours to install.
IT WORKS (AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

My CPU is 8845HS. I copied your config but still got the error: “Failed to start the virtual machine.” What can I do?Appreciate your answer.
does it work for 7840hs and what is the version of mac os u have installed and is it on vmware?
which macos version you used? did’t work for me.
I’m using ryzen 7 5700x please help me

Please help For Ryzen 7 1700x
I have an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U, on VMware Workstation 17 Player. I downloaded macOS Monterey and set MacOS 12 on VMware. It worked when I put in the vmx file “virtualHW.version = “16”” instead of 21 and i only added this at the end (no featureEnable.enable = “TRUE” or “FALSE”) :
“smc.version = “0”

It didn’t work when i was trying with macOS Ventura, try macOS Monterey.
I made sure that i used normal double-quotes after copy-paste.
“virtualHW.version = “16”
only changed the version and macOS is running by the way i am using AMD Ryzen7 7700 cpu.

Super Thanks!!!
worked for AMD Ryzen 5 3450U
I would like to install on my laptop: ryzen 7 7730U with Radeon Graphic and 32 gigram
Anyone to test?
If I want to use it with a DAW like LUNA UAD or logicPro, does it work? Will it recognize my UAD sound card?
Or should I buy a MAC?
Thanks !!!
If you use an actual software don’t use VMware

Value ““0— for variable “smc.version” is not a valid integer value. Using value “-1”.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
Roselei, had same issue, you have to change virtualHW.version line at the top (not append to bottom), then add the rest of the lines marble specified.
also, try using 16 instead of 10 for the hwversion number, as that is required for mouse kb to be detected
Works for R9 5950x, thank you so much
also worked for ryzen 9 7945hx (laptop)
nevermind i think it doesnt work for r9 7945hx
it worked once but then it didnt boot up again??
holy sh*t after 2 days of trying, this worked thanks a lot man.
Works on 7800x3d and mac Monterey 12 on player 17
Mine is :AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Could it be any workable soluiton? Thanks!

Any tips?
Here’s what I added to VMX:
virtualHW.version = “10”
featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
smc.version = “0”
cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001”

cpuid.1.edx = “0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”
smbios.reflectHost = “TRUE”
It worked for me too, tho this is Laptop specs:
AMD Ryzen 7 5825U with Radeon Graphics
16.0 GB (15.4 GB usable) DDR4
and i am running Windows 11 Pro.
Using the settings you mentioned :
Then changed the Version from 16 to 10
Then added the following (Because i have an AMD CPU):
cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001”
cpuid.1.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001”
cpuid.1.ebx = “0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000”
cpuid.1.ecx = “1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011”
cpuid.1.edx = “0000:1111:1010:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”
featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
I will also add some additional problems i did run into before i get this to work. I’ve had problems with input, my mouse wouldn’t work as well as my keyboard, what i did is i’ve made sure in preferences where is optimize for gaming option i set this to “Never” and as well i changed my usb version from 1.1 to 2.0. This made the vm work normally, for those who have problems please do those steps.
I hope i did help some people.
Worked on AMD Ryzen 5 5625U with the exact same steps.
If the installation is interrupted by a mouse and keyboard icon it is because you didn’t change the usb version to 2.0.
My installation took 2h15 so be patient.
I have changed it to 2.0 for macOS Sonoma but it still gets interrupted
For me at VMWare 17, below worked for Ryzen 5700G

Hi,
Using AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U with Radeon Graphics 1.70 GHz.

facing the same problem, its stuck on less than a minute remaining and after that the memory and CPU usage is very low
How fix this problem “Your computer restart because of a problem”. Amd 5 4500U, virtualHW.version = “16”, 10gb 6 cores for MasOs 14 sonoma
I have tried all the combinations above but still fails after getting the apple logo and about 1/4 way up the line under the logo.
AMD Ryzen 7
Thank you so much bro this helped me a lot, now, my macOS X Catalina machine just work great on my ryzen desktop !!!!
Just, the instalation process didn’t work directly on my desktop so i used an intel laptop but it has less performances.
for AMD cpus MACOS ventura will not work,https://github.com/paolo-projects/auto-unlocker/issues/92 see this ventura will not work
This was an old post and it still helped me heaps very thankful for the real work you guys do to help people in the community thanks again
Hi, thanks for this Lifesaver post. I got it Up & running in vmWare 17.0.1, keeping the HV version in 20:
AMD Ryzen 5900X
Steps:
– Kept virtualHW.version = “20”
– Replace copy pastes quotes
– Change USB version from 1.1 to 2.0 in VMWare VM settings (it started to boot, but gave me this two screens after initial apple logo: https://i.stack.imgur.com/B6vzNm.jpg , https://i.stack.imgur.com/YTsC8m.jpg)
– EOF settings:
smc.version = “0”
cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001”

Same settings worked fine for me! -> ryzen 5 5600g
on my computer (r5-2600), that only work like that :
change 16 to 10 :
virtualHW.version = “10”
add :
smc.version = “0”
cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”

This is the gold man, worked like a charm, much thanks!
thank you so much dude, this worked (vmware 17)
Nice! Worked on 5800x
thanks dude, works on my Ryzen 7 5700g
Thanks
This got the installation under way for me, on a Ryzen 5 2500U. Many thanks! On the first attempt it got as far as selecting the disk to install on, but no disk was shown. On the second attempt I went into Disk Utility and found that it wasn’t formatted. After doing that, it was available for the installation which went ahead smoothly.
how to do it please share
Worked on r5-4600H – 6Core – Thank you Jumlka
Thank you.
Worked for me Vmware Workstation 17Pro

Thank you Thank you.
ryzen 5 5600g worked , thank you man
This worked for my Ryzen 5 5500U as well
Hey can u share me
i also have same processor but it is stuck on apple logo
Thanks ! I was having the same error with MacOs Ventura, this fix all my problems
You’re amaziing. thank you
You absolute legend.
For anyone that has a mouse issue i just enabled USB 2.0 port in VM options
you are fucking good man 🙂 Work the ventura 13
For anyone that has a mouse that doesn’t work, what I did was left the version as 10 and I could use the mouse. Good luck!
I am having issues with mouse and keyboard, I am not able to use any of it when the installation starts. Is there any fix to this? Thanks
Even if the post is outdated, combined with the DOUG tips and comment section I managed to boot MacOs 12

oh my god your a life saver
it work to me. macos 13. vmware 17
downgrade the version of the VM to v10x
now manually edit the .VMX VM cnfiguration file (use notepad)
now find and change the line from false to true

PD: dont change virtual cpu count, keep 1 core and 2 threads.
Good luck and spread da word :3
YOU man did a great job after many attempt finally i can run thank you very much
after so many guides that was the solution for me!
i have am 5900x
after i add this to my config file it worked
thank you

Your quotation marks are the incorrect character. you want ” not ” or “
Hello Ali, This was really helpful. I just installed it on Ryzen 5 3600 🙂 Thanks
thats great! thanks for letting me know
Mine doesn’t work. The error was:
Feature ‘cpuid.ds’ was absent, but must be present.
Feature ‘cpuid.ss’ was absent, but must be present.
Module ‘FeatureCompatLate’ power on failed.
Value ““FALSE”” for variable “featureCompat.enable” is not a valid boolean value. Using value “TRUE”.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
Virtualization is turnt on and other virtual machines were running well.
The last comment really did the trick for me, VMWare Workstation Pro 16 running Big Sur on
virtualHW.version = 19 (default setting)
Awesome it worked! Thank you so much
On Ryzen 3900x / win 10 with vmware WS and player I had to delete featureCompat.enable = “TRUE” – then it finally worked. Thanks!
Great! thanks for your notes
I am using VMWare Workstation 16.1 it loads half way and starts again and again
tried all the changes below I am using a 3900x / Win 10 Pro I am getting this error
Value aeoe0ae cant do it exactly but says for variable “smc.version” is not a valid integer value. x using value “-1”.
Thanks for your Help !!!! Don
I think you can try change the Hardware Version to Version 10 and don´t fill in the line “smc.version = “0”
Got IOS loaded and starts up but now I cant get the mouse to work so l cant proceed with the install when l try to hit next after it picks the country the mouse is gone and l have to do Ctrl Alt Del to get out of the windows Stuck here
sorry for the late reply, i saw your post in the forum. let me know if you are still having mouse issues
Thanks All Up and Running this would not be possible without this Forum !!!
awesome man!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
awesome!
Thanks a million Doug, finally a working Sierra VM after adding your suggested lines and realising I had to change the double quotes, modify cpuid.1.edx = “0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111” and changing featureCompat.enable = “TRUE”
VM running well on a Ryzen 3 3200G. You did great work researching this so we don’t have to, much appreciated.
Ah I see my thanks should go to Ali too! Sorry.
Thanks man, used up 8 hours grinding to solve the problem, what you did saved me :). Thanks a lot
I love you Doug. Finally got High Sierra to install after many hours of trying in both VirtualBox and VMWare…
Thank You! Your suggestions worked!
What the heck the DOUG solution did WORK!
Thanks man!!
I followed the steps and it didn’t work for meat first. what i will say is the steps resolve most of my issues. I got stuck at the “How to Fix This virtual machine requires AVX2 but AVX is not present” I resolve that by click the link above that talks about the issues. The resolution for that was change virtual hardware version to 10.
thank you!
Thank you Doug! Your suggestions worked!
Thanks a lot :))
Started with trouble with my Linux Journey….this promises nothing good for me as windows administrator.
You need to restrict the VM to two cores 1 cpu for this to work
Thanks for noting this
You might want to check that. I’m running 2 processors x 4 cores and MacOS sees them fine.
[~] sysctl -a | grep hw\..*cpu:
hw.ncpu: 8

Hi Doug,
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
This is what worked for me:
smc.version = “0”
cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001″
cpuid.1.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:1010:0101”
cpuid.1.ebx = “0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000”
cpuid.1.ecx = “1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011”
cpuid.1.edx = “0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”
featureCompat.enable = “TRUE”
nothing else nothing more I have lost hope after trying for days to get big sur on vmware, i even read that it won’t happen if I have an APU, low and behold I couldn’t believe it when I saw the installation going on!
Quick question: I noticed that the sound while playing a youtube video is choppy, having never dealt with a mac before is there a driver fix perhaps for this?
Also I tried to create an Apple ID but it seems to be stuck and not following through.
Peace
Steve
Hey Steveo, Yeah Doug is awesome with that fix, and has help a lot of us out. I will check around and see if there is any known issues with audio or drive updates. We’re launching a forum to help users find solutions to these issues. Sign up whenever you can! forum.geekrar.com, we’ll start opening up the discussion board next month
Just did, thank you Ali 🙂
I have no idea on the audio, only use the VM for Xcode and don’t have an audio device configured.
I didn’t create an Apple ID in MacOS, however am successfully using ones that I had created previously, if that helps.
You are awesome. Thank you.
Thank you so much !!!!!!!!
Working on Big Sur on AMD Ryzen 9
Worked for me to emulate Mojave in VMWare Player 16 in Windows 11
My specs is Ryzen 3550H
Steveo,
These worked for my ryzen 9 5950. Where did you come up with them?
Worked for Ryzen 9 5900HX.
-Update to my previous comment-
The following line: cpuid.1.ecx = “1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011”
gives me the following error (shortened it for ease):
“Feature ‘cpuid.pclmulqdq, *ssse3 *sse41 *sse42 *aes’ was absent but must be present
Module FeatureCompatLate power on failed.”
FYI my Workshop is 16.
These changes are primary for AMD users to fool MacOS into thinking that an AMD CPU is an Intel CPU.
In particular, the cpuid.0.eax line specifices a Nehalem-based processor, and other the cpuid.0.* lines spell out ‘GenuineIntel’. The cpuid.1.* lines are used to specify particular features. In your case, you’ve turned on the bits that tell the VM your CPU supports pclmulqdq, ssse3, sse41, sse42 & aes but when VMWare tries to validate that it determines that your physical CPU doesn’t actually support those features.
Most likely your CPU is too old to support running the newer MacOS versions. Sorry.
Doesn’t. Even. Work. Person with an Intel CPU coming through.
I guess i’m one of those unlucky chosen ones that will never ever have these damn fancy things to work.
I feel the same way, I’ve had plenty of issues with intel. which os are you installing?
I own a Ryzen 9 3900X, and I made all the recommended changes to the vmx file (including those from Doug), but when I try to start the VM I get the below errors:
Feature ‘cpuid.ds’ was absent, but must be present.
Feature ‘cpuid.ss’ was absent, but must be present.
Module ‘FeatureCompatLate’ power on failed.
Failed to start the virtual machine.
I checked and all the quotation marks are correct.
Change featureCompat.enable = “False” to “True
FINALLY It works on my Ryzen 7
Thank you 😭😭😭
You saved my day 🙂
AMD Ryzen 3950x, 32GB, Windows 10, VMWARE Workstation 16, guest MacOS 10.13.6
Point 2) and 3) are the tricks.
You Glorious Bastard, Thank you Doug. You fixed everything with one post.
Thanks for the fix!
this saved my bacon on an AMD EPYC processor! thank you!
This is the working solution for my AMD Ryzen 7 4700U
Thank you… save my day.
Thanks
you save me!
important #2 and #3.
I got the same issue
You are fucking legend
Thank you – this sorted it out for me!
Doug, you are a freakin genious!
Thank you so much. I wasted so many hours getting a macOS VM to work and this finally solved the problem (Ryzen 3700X)
How did you do? I use AMD RYZEN 7 4000 Series, Could help me please!
Thank you so much for your contribution.
I had the same issue and followed your instructions to resolve the issue.
It is working fine now.
great to hear
Legend Doug
Agreed
Managed to get it working on VMWare 16.0 & a 3700X after looking at the vmware logs for a bit.
Several issues:
1) Ensure you are using normal double-quotes. When copying and pasting it’ll use pretty quotes but vmware will complain (not a valid boolean, etc.)
2) Disabling featureCompat.enable is only supported on hardware versions less than 9. Change that to TRUE (probably can just delete but haven’t tested that yet)
3) cpuid.ss & cpuid.ds are no longer supported on the cpus so need to be removed from the enabled features. Change cpuid.1.edx line to
“0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”
4) With those changes I was then able to bump the virtualHW.version back up to 16.
Thanks for your findings. This will be helpful to the community.
It worked like a charm. thanks, doug.
This worked for me on Ryzen 3950x, using the same CPU id keys.
Seconding, if you’re copy/pasting to notepad, make sure you edit the quotes, as their character string on this website is not a regular quote. Delete them and re-enter the proper keyboard quote key for each one.
Thank you so much ,after changing the foll0wing it starts working
1)featureCompat.enable = “TRUE”
2)cpuid.1.edx line to “0000:0111:1000:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”
(I am using Ryzen-5 3500U).Thank you again

Thanks for sharing this
I also get:”
Error while powering on : feature ‘cpuid.ds’ was absent, but must be present.
feature cpuid.ss was absent, but must be present
feature cpuid.intel was abset but must be present
module featurecompatlate power on failed
value (random unreadable text) for variable featurecompat.enable is not a valid boolean value
using value TRUE

Same here with a Ryzen 3800X: “Failed to start the virtual machine.”
Using Ryzen 5 3550H below worked for me
config.version = “8”
virtualHW.version = “9”
smbios.reflectHost = “TRUE”
hw.model = “MacBookPro14,3”

Worked for me, you are a god !
Mine also prompts “Failed to start Virtual Machine“
Ryzen 2600
This is exactly what happens to me. I use AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
Anyone figure this out for 15.5 with AMD? New error appears regarding feature cpuids
I had the same issue. Did you find a solution to this?
What/???
I have done all this steps. I still cant rund mac mojave, I use AMD ryzen 7, 2700
no.. mac Catalina
That’s a few us with amd CPUs following all the fixes and ending up with “Failed to start the virtual machine” any ideas?
At first inserted:
smc.version = “0”
Getting the Message that Guest turned off CPU.
Then changed the Version from 16 to 10
Then added the following (Because i have an AMD CPU):
cpuid.0.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:1011”
cpuid.0.ebx = “0111:0101:0110:1110:0110:0101:0100:0111”
cpuid.0.ecx = “0110:1100:0110:0101:0111:0100:0110:1110”
cpuid.0.edx = “0100:1001:0110:0101:0110:1110:0110:1001”
cpuid.1.eax = “0000:0000:0000:0001:0000:0110:0111:0001”
cpuid.1.ebx = “0000:0010:0000:0001:0000:1000:0000:0000”
cpuid.1.ecx = “1000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011”
cpuid.1.edx = “0000:1111:1010:1011:1111:1011:1111:1111”
featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
Now i get the following error:
Failed to start the virtual machine
Thanks for pointing this out!
“Failed to start the virtual machine.” error message for me as well, any ideas?
“Failed to start the virtual machine.” (no more explanation). What can I do?
Regarding “feature cpuid.ss was absent” and the like, beware that the lines that you have to add have the wrong quotations. For example:
featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
Should be:
featureCompat.enable = “FALSE”
Same goes for CPUID lines, although they wont give you errors.
Error while powering on : feature ‘cpuid.ds’ was absent, but must be present.
feature cpuid.ss was absent, but must be present
feature cpuid.intel was abset but must be present
module featurecompatlate power on failed
value (random unreadable text) for variable featurecompat.enable is not a valid boolean value
using value TRUE
failed to start virtual machine
this is the error i got from following this. Im using amd processor what should i do?
