I am a part time nerd, part time chef and full time whiner. Did I type whiner? I meant winner...no wait, I whine a lot. I've worked in High Tech and Television and a few places in between. I've eaten fire roasted snakes and hand fulls of peeps (not in the same sitting of course). I'd like to share my experiences, so read on.

Fix VMWare Hang on shutdown

Stamped: 3:38 PM

If you're trying to install OSX86 or iDeneb or Deadmoo or whatever on your VMware workstation, I've noticed some awful lag on shutdown. Up to five minutes. Add these lines to your virtual machine config and it clears it up.

prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100"
mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"
mainMem.partialLazySave = "FALSE"
mainMem.partialLazyRestore = "FALSE"


It's important to note since...well, if you're even attempting this, you're bound to run into issues and require tons of reboots. These additions should allow you reboot that machine as fast as VirtualBox. Good luck and hope you get it running!
