theirishtide Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The only info relevant to run the Mac OS X under VirtualBOX is the model of your CPU. I might be wrong but it seems to me that your CPU is too new and there are no official Apple Mac computers out there with this CPU installed. Knowing that I want to warn you that you'd most probably get the "black screen" kernel panic if you'd try to install using native Mac OS X kernel. And you would definitely have no luck at using any Mac OS X versions prior to 10.6.6 with native kernel. Chances are that Apple is going to update the hardware of Mac computers soon and their configurations would include Core i7 CPU. If that's a case then there might be that support for this CPU had been introduced in the kernel shipped with 10.6.6. On the other hand, nothing stops you to install 10.6.5 version of Mac OS X with the patched legacy kernel and use it as a base for testing. Who knows, may be you'd be lucky enough to get 10.5.0 vanilla kernel (the version shipped with OS X 10.6.5) to work with your CPU under VirtualBOX. Succeeding with it would mean that it is safe for you to update to 10.6.6. So, what's the point to ask ;-)? Just give it a try, as takwing had already said. I am just not real sure on the setup of a virtual box OSX image. I am used to VMWKST7 and Virtual PC but it seems to be pretty different. I just want to make sure i get started in the right direction so i don't end up having to ask a ton of questions on here. I appreciate the responses. PM me if you guys have any extra input. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leo1984 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 the file sharing can be done via SMBsee : http://www.takwing.idv.hk/tech/virtual/faq...red_folder.html it doesn't work, I cannot connect to anything. what about bluetooh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeXa2 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 it doesn't work, I cannot connect to anything. Then you had obviously done something wrong setting up VBox network settings and/or your host OS network settings. Using Samba to exchange files with host OS is by far the most fastest and easiest way this days when running Mac OS X under VBox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takwing Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 it doesn't work, I cannot connect to anything.what about bluetooh? make sure your host has sharing enable bluetooth? I would forget it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yangg Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi i'm running vbox 4.0.2 with iATKOS S3 v2 my only probem is sound i dont have a kernel panic anymore using Intel HD audio windows direct sound my i lost the sound a couple boot ago dont know why everything was working and stop for no reason i ha ve the last update of OSX 10.6.6 I can see the little speaker but it gray and i can't raise the volume Can someone point me a .kext that is working for vbox except voodoohda because it laggy sound PS i manage to install with your tutorial and all my problem are fixed for sound thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budswell Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Just wanted to say thanks for all the info on this topic. I was struggling away and cme across this topic. I have it working now with VirtualBox's EFI setting. So booting fine. In particular the two AMD links for the Boot.plist updates here were invaluable. http://www.takwing.idv.hk/tech/virtual/vb4...nowl/index.html AMD Phenom x2 545, Win7x64, VirtualBox 4.02, OSX 10.6.3 HOTiSO Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeXa2 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm still trying to find a way to run vanilla Mac OS X kernel inside VirtualBOX on AMD CPU equipped host. ATM I need some feedback from people running vanilla kernel in their guests and having Intel CPU equipped hosts. It would be great if one would find some time to execute "VBoxManage list hostcpuids" command in the console and paste the output to this thread. It should look similar to this: [lexa2@lx2linux 2011-02-20]$ VBoxManage list hostcpuids Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.12 © 2005-2010 Oracle Corporation All rights reserved. Host CPUIDs: Leaf no.

The idea is to fool guest system into thinking that it is equipped with the Intel CPU by spoofing the results of the CPUID command. With a bit of luck this might allow to run 32bit vanilla kernel on hosts with recent AMD CPUs. 64bit kernel is guaranteed to crash due to differences between AMD64 and Intel EM64T x86-64 implementations (SYSCALL vs. SYSENTER opcodes problem).

NSCXP2005 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi to all here, Do you know if it will be possible to install 10.7 Lion Preview on Virtualbox? It would be great to test it out. Thank you for your time All the best NSCXP2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowbound Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Am I wishing for the impossible? I have a AMD box capable of AMD virtualization with VBox 3.2.8 on it. Would like to be able to install OSx either in this VBox or the current one and be able to update the OSx virtual machine with the Apple Updates. Is it possible to do this if I went out and purchased a retail upgrade of Snow Leopard or am I hoping for the impossible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
