[atlantisman87bis]

Hello, i'm a french men, so apologized me for my English please

 

My problem: i've 3 virtualbax machie : one with Snow Leopard, one with Lion, one with Moutain Lion

All has been made on an HP with core i7 2x (Sandy Bridge) and run with Virtualbox 4.3

 

i've bougth an Asus x750 with core i7 4x (Haswell) and the 3 virtual machine stuck at the beginning of the start process

salut la France !! sur quoi coinces tu ?   

 

hi the France! whereupon Coinces you?

[atlantisman87bis]

Hello, pour les machines Snow et Lion, à l'arrivée de la ligne Darwin X86 (démarage en mode verbose) j'ai l'écran de 'Guru Mediation'

Pour Moutain lion je reste coincé sur le ligne avec Boot arg= boot-uil:<une chaine de caractère> rd=*uuid darkwake=0 -v

voilà, merci de ton aide en sachant que j'ai dans tous les cas un bootloader Chameleon avec 'Darwin /x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chimera v1.11.1 r1394'

 

Hi, for the virtual machine with Snox Leopard or Lion, in verbose mode, i obtain a screen called 'Guru Meidation' after displaying the Darwin X86 message

On the Moutain Lion virtual machin, i stucked at the line : Boot arg= boot-uil:<a chain of caracters> rd=*uuid darkwake=0 -v

thanks for your help, i've in all case a booloader Chameleon with  'Darwin /x86 boot v5.0.132 - Chimera v1.11.1 r1394'

Did you enabled VT-X Virtualization in Bios ??

Windows 8.1 seems to give some issues to run VirtualBox and OSX guest.

Try to figure out which are the difference (HW and SW ) between the first PC (in which OSXs Virtualized run inside Virtualbox) and the second in which you get some troubles to boot ...

 

See ya

 

Hint :

See my Topic "OS X Mavericks in VirtualBox"

[atlantisman87bis]

hi, i've Microsoft XP and Microsoft Server 2012 image running without problem on my Asus, and i've be back on the same Windows seven on the Asus than the HP

what did you mean by HW and SW please ?

thanks

[PippoX0]

Hi,

Ok you have same software SW and same hardware HW in the two Pc.

 

If you are able to run other Vm , the problem seems to be in Osx Guest.

 

Try to start with Efi option enable in virtualbox setting

[atlantisman87bis]

hi the main difference is on the hardwware, the old Pc was a Corei7 23xx and the new is Corei7 4xxx

 

i've try on Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion and i upload screen copy of result, in lion and mountain lion case the boot process is stuck

thanks for you help

I am not a VirtualBox expert, but have done a lot of work on VMware. The problem we found on VMware was Snow Leopard & Lion does not support Haswell processors out of the box. 

 

SL & Lion - no Haswell support

ML - 10.8.5+

 

You may need to find 3rd party kernels to make this work. The alternative we found in VMware was the ability to configure CPUID settings to fake the processor to look like an earlier one that is supported. I am pretty sure there is that capability in VB. I will have a look at the source code, but you guys may have to test as I do not have anything to test his on.

[atlantisman87bis]

Hello Donk, thanks for your reply. I'm not an expert on VB so i don't know how to configure CPUID settings. is it in the configuration file ? or did you know were ?

 

another idea, is it possible to tranform my VB machine on VMware player and do the fake in VMware?

 

thanks

hello again, i've to inform you that my Mountain Lion is 10.8.4, and i'm not sure that i could upgrade this in my old PC. maybe i could to that and transfert the image resulting in the haswell pc ?

thanks

[Donk]

Hello Donk, thanks for your reply. I'm not an expert on VB so i don't know how to configure CPUID settings. is it in the configuration file ? or did you know were ?

I believe it is a config file change called HostCPUID but I am still reading about it. As for moving VB to Player, you can't really do this as the virtual hardware is different, but you can certainly run those versions of OS X on Player using my unlocker.

[atlantisman87bis]

Well donk, if it's possible to still in VB, i prefer because all my machine will be managed in the same software. but i m interresting on your unlocker for VMware, because i know this player and certainly using it could be a good experience

thanks

[Donk]

So can you run this command from a command prompt on both machines and post the output?

VBoxManage.exe list hostcpuids

Example output:

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe list hostcpuids

It may then be possible to fake the CPUID settings using modifyvm command to match the working system. No guarantees but I think it is worth a shot.

i ll try to do it on the old PC this saturday, i've give at a friend actually, but perhaps with this data you could help me

thanks

[atlantisman87bis]

Hi, i've try to create a new virtual machine with the hackboot method find here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaqmCsUp_HM

 

and i 'm stucking at one point, see picture.

if it s could help you

thanks

[Donk]

Actually the old machine output is the more important. If you can get the data it would help a lot, but I will take a look at weekend and try and figure something out.

[atlantisman87bis]

hello, i've obtain the same list on the old pc, see the document please

hoping to have good news

thanks

Thanks for that. I have a test system at work and will try out the modifyvm idea in the morning (UK) time.

 

Update: If you want to try this now I have a test command for you to try.

VBoxManage modifyvm <vmname> --cpuidset 1 000206a7 02100800 1fbae3bf bfebfbff

Hi

 

YOU RE A GENIUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS my Moutain Lion virtual Machine run now, very weel, wifi, app store

now i ve to find how change the resolution (1366*724) and the sound is not detected

 

but i m downloading actually the Maverick update, so after i ll clone my machine and try to upgrade on the new one to eventually obtain a 10.9 image

 

eventually is it possible to run the same modifyvm on the other machine (snow and lion )?

 

thankssssssssssssssssss

hi again, i've try with success the same on my snow leopard

no sound

no memory detect on system information so i can't download the maverick update

but it s cool

thankssssssssssssssss

[atlantisman87bis]

Hi again, on my Lion virtual machine, the process of Boot is running but i m crashing on another point, see the printscreen please

So now i ll plan to

 

clone my Mountain Lion machine where i've download the Maverick update

try to change the resolution in the extra/plist file to 1440*900 and run the new machine

run the maverick update

cross finger hoping on a good result

 

and in all way, i've to upgrade the memory on my hasweel pc (it s 6Gb now, normally block at 8Gb but i ll try to put 16Gb) and replace de 5400 rpm hard drive by a ssd to speed up virtualbox and virtual image

thanks

[atlantisman87bis]

Hi, i've try to modify the file org.chameleon.Boot.plist in my /extra directory replacing the 1366*768 with 1440*900 or 1600*900 and in fact i obtain a resolution of 1152*864

 

i ve to fin a solution because my hasweel laptop is a 17 inch with capacity of 1600*900

have you and idea please ?

thanks

[atlantisman87bis]

hi i've modifiy the .vbox and the cameleon.plist file as describe in the tiger vm tutorial and i obtain 1440*900

i ll try 1600*900 and cross my fingers !!

 

so still the sound in ML ? and create a maveriks vm

thanks

Pleased that it worked. Basically we told VB on the new machine to present the old CPU type to the VM. Sorry but I can't help with the other questions as I don't run VB.

[PippoX0]

Good trick !!

[atlantisman87bis]

hi, i've create an iso file with mavericks Under my virtual machine, how transfert it to Windows host?

thanks

[atlantisman87bis]

hi again, i ve found how connect my vm to my host by smb,, thanks
