If your CPU supports it, make sure to passthrough the AES(-NI) instruction set just to speed up your vm a little more. (Penryn,+aes) Alright, I've managed to pull off this install. http://i.imgur.com/bzxbSEv.png[/img] I'll write down some of the issues I encountered during install: 1. Mouse and keyboard During install using the XML and dreadkopp Clover install both my mouse and keyboard were largely unusable (would move for ~30 seconds, afterwards it would stop). In order to remedy this I had to copy the EFI and XML config from http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=51915.0. After doing this both mouse and keyboard worked. 2. Graphics However using the iMac9,1 SMBios in gridrunner's Clover EFI will cause graphics to get screwy with NVIDIA graphics (not sure if its just this). Two ways of fixing this: [*]Patching AppleGraphicsControl.kext and adding your board ID from ioreg -l | grep board-id [*]Switching to the iMac14,1 or iMac14,2 definition Switching to the 14,1 definition is definitely the easier way. 3. Sound Using a USB sound card is mostly functional, however after extended periods of listening static would take over the audio and soon after the audio would cut out. I'm using a Creative Sound Blaster Play 2, if anyone has any advice on how to fix this it would be appreciated.
