CristopherJingles Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 GL40 chipset with intel T3400, no VT... I've been through a bunch of different distros options using both latest VMWare and VirtualBox with no luck. Has anyone gotten this to work without VT? Maybe an older version of VMWare, VirtualBox or perhaps the stand-alone 2007 version of VirtualPC? I'd really like to get this going with the current hardware, as I've been looking at cpu upgrades with VT, but this BIOS doesn't support it, which would require some hacking. Thanks.

oldnapalm Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 It's possible, I run VirtualBox in a Pentium IV some time ago. I don't know about recent versions of VirtualBox, although. Under the ~/Library/VirtualBox/Machines directory you will find a folder for each virtual machine you have created. Within this directly you will find an XML file with the machine settings. It looks like: ... Just change the 'enabled="true"' part to 'enabled="false"'. http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php...;t=17090#p90061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3ofakind Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Wow, that's good to know oldnapalm. I've always taken this thread as the truth, but also suspected it was just an artificial software limitation to comply with Apple. http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=31474 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CristopherJingles Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 OK, then maybe it is just because I am using the latest version of VBox, but even editing that file in Dreamweaver doesn't have any effect on my OSx virtualization. Still can't get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnapalm Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 It may be because of the version, yes. It did work with an older version. Was VirtualBox closed when you edited the XML file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was VirtualBox closed when you edited the XML file? Yes - everything was able to be editted in the xml file while VBox was closed, but no working. I even went as far back as VirtualBox-2.2.0 and tried this way but can not get it to boot. Furthest I got one time was stuck at the grey apple screen with counter wheel going forever.
