macOS Ventura Guests

David Parsons edited this page Mar 2, 2023 · 6 revisions

There are a known issues that Ventura guests boot loop in VMware Workstation. The situation after extensive testing is:

  1. Intel pre-Haswell CPUs dropped by Apple in Ventura - no way to patch need to look at OCLP
  2. AMD CPUs no longer work in Ventura possibly due to how CPUID leaf 7 is read - no way to patch need to look at OpenCore and other solutions
  3. Intel Haswell+ CPUS, which are supported, make sure you set

ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000e"

to

ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"

CPU macOS Notes
Intel pre-Haswell macOS 10.6-12 ESXi use 7.0 U2 hardware
Intel post-Haswell macOS 10.6-13 ESXi use 7.0 U2 hardware
AMD Ryzen macOS 11-12 These are the only ones tested

Please do not upgrade to Ventura at this time if you have AMD or Intel pre-Haswell CPUs.
