About - Soul Dev Team. This is the site of the Soul Dev Team. We are a group of developers who aim to improve out knowledge of all things that interest us, rather than any large scale releases (that doesn’t mean there aren’t any). Our interests lie mainly in iOS jailbreaking (with a majority of us having some knowledge in this area), however a couple of us deal with OSx86 project work (Zack especially) and we also deal with various things on the Android side of mobile development and are currently branching out across several other systems. And of course, general knowledge to do with various computing systems is a given for all of us (across all platforms).

Aside from a group of developers, you will also find several writers on this site who’ll post tech news as it happens, in great detail. Unlike other sites out there, we don’t just post anything but solid fact (meaning no rumours, etc.), and all posts are moderated for accuracy before being posted. Like this: Like Loading... Talks about stuff | Running Mac OS X 10.8 'Mountain Lion' in VMware ESXi 5.

July 30, 2012 at 7:27 PM — PhonicUK Recently I bought a Mac Mini to use as a ESXi rig to host Mac VMs for development purposes. Getting Lion running in ESXi 5 is a marginally annoying but entirely doable task. However if you try to follow the same steps with Mountain Lion, you'll very quickly get stuck at a "Waiting for root device... " message and find you're going nowhere. Thankfully it's actually a pretty simple (if inconvenient thing) to work around: Install OS X 10.7 (Lion) in a VMUpgrade 10.7 to 10.8 after it's up and runningDone That's it.

Point of note: During the Mountain Lion installation, the screen may go black/white with a small box in it. MyHack Guide | myHack.
