OS X in VirtualBox with AMD Host

Alright. I've been working this problem most of today (wait, most of yesterday. Crud I'm up too late).

 

I would like to install OS X as a virtual machine with Virtual Box. I've been using VB pretty extensively to try out Linux distros and I'm very happy with the program.

 

 

I have a .dmg of the retail version of snow leopard. I also have a .iso of exactly the same file (converted via power iso). In addition I have an iso of Snow Leopard 10.6.2 SSE2.SSE3.INTEL.AMD which I downloaded after the retail copy failed.

 

In virtualbox I've tried these various settings:

 

OS: Mac OS X ()both versions) plus I've tried BSD/FreeBSD as the OS as some guides have suggested.

 

Base memory set to 1024 MB (12GB on the host so theres plenty to go around)

 

IP APIC and Absolute Pointing Device Enabled. EFI and Hardware Clock disabled.

 

PAE/NX enabled in Processor tab.

 

Acceleration enabled (Both VT-x/AMD-V and Nested Paging). Also enabled in host bios.

 

Display with 64mb of memory, no acceleration.

 

.vdi (hard drive) and any CD under an ICH6 IDE controller

 

Everything else as default. I've also toggled various settings here and there, which doesnt seem to produce any progress.

 

 

 

I've tried to boot [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] first, then load the ISO. All it does is hang at the apple boot screen.

Empire EFI (pretty much all the versions) gives me a

 

Memory Allocation error (0xdeadbeef, 0x0)

 

 

 

 

I've been testing out different combination of boot loaders, ISO's and VirtualBox settings for most of the day and I haven't gotten anywhere. At one point I googled the Memory Allocation error and opened every site on googles first page, but most guides seem to slide over the error with ease by changing something simple. Needless to say when I change the same thing my error does not go away.

 

Its been a long time since I've done anything with OS X (The last time I did anything Hackintosh wise was 2007 or so) so I'm not really 'up' on the current state of things.

 

So, anyone have any advice? Anyone experienced similar issues?

 

I'd appreciate any help and suggestions at this point I'm very stuck.

Hey,

 

I'm running OSX on an AMD 64bit system using VirtualBox - near flawless and pretty fast... things to try:

 

Don't use the EFI option

 

Do use the VT-x/AMD-V option (if motherboard supports Hardware Virtualization)

 

Actually just see attached image...

 

I started with the LegacyBootCD.iso, but later moved to myHack_Installer_1.1.mpkg (BootLoader) - choosing the chocolate kernel (legacy), etc. from Customize.

 

http://www.mediafire.com/?wlmnngjaius LegacyBootCD.iso (not sure this is the latest)

 

http://osx86.sojugarden.com/2010/06/myhack...r-1-1-released/ EFI BootLoader

 

I'll check back later - if you have any questions.

Glad to hear someone has done it. I'm having to take a break from trying for a day or two but I'll defiantly be trying out that EFI loader. I tried the LegacyBootCD.iso with the proper settings and several different ISO's (I have quiet a collection at this point) to no avail.

Funny - I have quite the collection myself, alot of trial and error...

 

I did receive great advice from some of the experts here - first was to do a vanilla install, also - to get the best support, and know more about where the problem is - boot with the -v (verbose) option, and report your findings (where it's freezing, kernel panic, etc.).

 

Good luck, I will check back to see how you getting along - but I'm sure the real experts will kick in as soon as they have somthing more to work with.

I thought verbose mode was an OS X thing? Or is it something that can be enabled in VirtualBox itself?

I can get it installed with relative ease on VirtualBox using nawcom's disc (http://blog.nawcom.com), but I had a lot of issues getting it updated. Lots of kernel panics. At one point I actually had it updated to 10.6.7 with 1920x1080x32 resolution, working sound, and no issues at all. But I accidentally deleted it and was never able to get it back like that again. I switched over to VMWare and it's been a breeze. The audio is a bit more of a pain in the ass to get working on VMWare, but whatever.

 

 

At any rate, here is a script that I wrote to create the VirtualBox for myself. It wasn't really created with the intention of being distributed, but I'm posting it anyway in case there's anything in it that you find informative.

Note that the CPUID stuff was just experimentation to see if I could bypass some of the issues I was having and use the default VirtualBox EFI, but it never worked. I thought it was a really clever idea, but it just didn't work. :(

 

The script expects itself to be in a directory that has subdirectories HDD and ISO to store hard disk images and CD images, respectively. It also expects that the machine directory is located in a subdirectory called Machines. That's just how I organize my files. Again, this script wasn't intended to be distributed; I just didn't want it to go to waste.
