popcornmix Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I am having some issues location the kexthelper.app. I tried searching the install dmg as well as the base, but couldn't locate it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm guessing it's a downloadable application. I checked google, but I wasn't sure on a valid location. I used http://cheetha.net/ and it worked fine. I guess a recommended link would be helpful in original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam1203 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Awesome! Thank you guys! I had a few more questions: - Have any of you been able to install guest additions in the VM? I'm unable to find any of OS X. - When the VM boots, I see all the white writing (instead of the gray apple screen) is this normal? - I see during boot that I get a: IntelThermal: [Warning] Unsupported Intel processor found, kext will not load IntelThermal: Based on code by mercurysquad superhai ©2008 The VM does boot, but I was just wanted to see if these errors were causing any problems. Thanks again! Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equilibrium1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I got Lion working earlier on Virtualbox Then decided to check if anyone else has done it here and found this thread I have it running without FakeSMC & without nullCPUPowermanagenent I also had a little problem with the resolution mode in EFI for some reason editing the vbox file wasn't working so I had to run the command via: VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" VBoxInternal2/EfiGopMode N To run without FakeSMC u can add: <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal2/SmcDeviceKey" value="ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc"/> I'm running linux vbox version 4.0.12-1 I installed using chameleon, then removed /System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist Then enabled EFI and everything seems to be working.

NSCXP2005 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hi equilibrium1, What Linux system are you running Virtualbox on, 32bit or 64bit? Also what is performance like on your system and have you tried Lion on 4.1 of VB? Thank you for your time. All the best. NSCXP2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what is performance like on your system and have you tried Lion on 4.1 of VB? Thank you for your time. All the best. NSCXP2005 I'm running on Archlinux x64 with openbox The performance with EFI mode enabled is pretty quick. It's fast enough for testing stuff out I only really installed it for testing. With EFI enabled the sound doesn't distort, but with EFI off I get distortion and jerkiness in sounds. I've not really been using it to any extent atm but it does seem stable.

equilibrium1 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I just updated Virtualbox to 4.1.0-2 and noticed a few things had changed The main thing I noticed was the internal HDD icon on the desktop was yellow/orange as if it was removable storage. It also seemed a bit slow and the sounds were buggy. On rebooting with EFI disabled (using chameleon + kexts) the drive showed up as normal and the boot time was also a lot quicker. So I had a look and Realised on my chameleon I had: IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext & AHCIPortInjector.kext So I installed them both to the system, re-enabled EFI and it seemed to fix the HDD issue. The drive is now silver as before and the system seems as it was before upgrading to 4.1.0-2 sudo -s cp -fr IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ cp -fr AHCIPortInjector.kext /System/Library/Extensions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help on testing because i have a merely Intel Core2 Duo, however try to assign less virtual CPU on your Vbox (like 2-4 Cpu). For some reason there is some incompatibility with your CPU and VT-x (be sure it enabled on Bios) PippoX0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myredrook Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi everybody, I have sandy bridge i7 PC and [ EASY INSTALL - LION GM/RETAIL UPDATE ] guide did not result in success. I have changed procedure a little bit and it worked !!! Changes: - I did not install * fakesmc.kext - I added <ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal2/SmcDeviceKey" value="ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal©AppleComputerInc"/> to vbox file. My guess is that fakesmc.kext does not know about i7 processors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insaneMACCAM Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 First, thanks for the great guide! Got everything up and running until the change from using the boot cd to efi. When I boot with EFI I get the following problem, I am running on an Sandy Bridge i5 if that is of any help. Has anyone got a clue how to fix this, besides continuoulsy booting with the boot cd?
