at work we recently bought 5 new Mac Minis, which came preloaded with Yosemite. I've been hoping that the ability to allocate more vram in Workstation 11 would help solve the issue - have you had any luck with the vmsvga2 driver? If I can get Yosemite installed then I can start looking for solutions too.Īlso, I wonder if your issue with hanging at boot is more of a Yosemite bug than a VM problem.

Woot Woot! Ok, that's all rambling I have for you explain the process that you used to install Yosemite on VMWare Workstation 11? I rely heavily on my OS X VM, but the graphics performance in Yosemite has rendered it practically useless. I think the best thing about the newest edition of VMWare is the ability to install and run the software without unlocking VMWare. I used a Chameleon USB installer and the Mavericks/Yosemite file I downloaded from the Apple Store to do the install. The installation was pretty easy, and as I said, I'll post a guide when I get some time this coming week. I'm able to watch HD movies, burn discs with Toast, and a host of other things, just as I would on a normal MAC. I have gotten it tuned to run perfectly, and I even have my USB 3.0 and Bluetooth passed through as well.

The Yosemite experience is just not quite right, and yet I can't even attribute that all to VMWare, as my daughter's MB Pro has the same issues with Yosemite. At other times, the whole system freezes while I'm copying files, or watching a youtube video. For instance, when I watch a video, it sometimes slows to a crawl. Yosemite is still a work in progress, as it's still quite messy post-boot. Other than that, I am happy to report that I was able to get Yosemite and Mavericks both booting and running very smoothly. That said, I'm still investigating the guts of VMWare 11 and the methods we are using to make the graphics work. On my Windows, ESX5.5i and CentOS hosts, increasing the VRAM worked perfectly.

The SVGAII driver still doesn't work on Yosemite either. The maximum I was able to achieve was 128 (both with SVGA II on Mavericks and natively with VMWareGFX kext on Yosemite). First, the disappointment: I have not been able to allocate more VRAM to my OS X VMs. However, after playing around with different install combinations, and post install tweaks, I'm both happy and disappointed. Now, on to the fun stuff I was pretty excited about the VMWare Workstation 11 release, after all it's been hyped up to be. If I have time in the immediate future, I will work on a guide for both Yosemite and Mavericks. This is not a guide, just an information post for my fellow Insanelies. OK, Let's start this off with a disclaimer. I'll keep working at it, but I need help.

Additionally, the VRAM amount varies from 3 MB to 484 MB, but that may also be a product of the way the system is currently booting.

I can boot the guest with using the USB install stick as a bootloader of sorts, which leads me to believe we can make some mods and have a fully booting OS X Guest. Right now, the install works, but once it's done and the guest reboots, it hangs once the progress bar get's nearly halfway. I'm hoping to get help from my fine friends here on InsanelyMac with the rest of the process getting the post-installation boot to work. With all this being said, I started this thread out of my excitement to finally be able to go at least go through the install process without having to modify any part of the boot process with unlockers, or command-line attributes. More work by people with a little more knowledge than me will have to be done. They simply won't boot, giving a weird error.

I was able to actually install Yosemite natively, using Plop Boot Manager (to boot from usb). OS X boots without the need for unlocking VMWare.VMWare Workstation 11 is here! And along with it are some interesting things to note.
