Re: OS X 10.8.2 Guest freezing up with 100% CPU usage

Hi GoDeveloper,

 

We're working with Apple to investigate an issue where Mac OS X 10.8.x freezes (with 100% CPU usage) if it only has 1 processor core available and it starts running low on memory.  It so happens that Mac OS will occasionally run a background process which will consume most of the guest RAM...

 

As dlhotka suggested, you'll need to add a second processor core to your VMs to avoid the problem for the time being.  It's not a virtualization-specific issue: It's possible to artificially induce the same OS failure on a physical Mac, too...

 

Cheers,
