Hey Pippox0,
i try it, but don't work. Here is the error:

http://img199.images...9/enableefi.png

Any ideas?

Hi Macxylo,
you should see this during EFI bootstrap ....
 boot_EFI_VB.JPG   25.87K   227 downloads

First Check Virtualbox VMM Settings
then Try this:
a) Boot with Hackboot
Use Disk Utility to Check/Repair Disk VMM HD  and repair permissions.
c) Shutdown
d) Be shure to unmount HackBoot.ISO , to enable EFI Flag , reboot and don't press any key during booting ...

@Pippox0
I only saw that screen if i am enabling EFI:
http://img199.images...9/enableefi.png
That's all! Don't boot forth.

I try out your guide. Repair Disk Permissions, put the hackboot.iso out of virtual drive, Reenabling EFI.
No Success!

Hi MaCXyLo,
It's a very strange error ...
As i see from your pic, you can disable Floppy from boot process , but this i don't think will resolve your problem ...
Check that  AHCI/ ICH9  option is enable on SATA VMM

Anyway your Last resource to boot Lion without Hackboot is to install Chamaleon RC5 -v 755 .pkg and EXTRA_DP4.pkg on VMM HD ( You can use the Mald0n post ).

BTW if you do so, you loose the native EFI boot function of Virtualbox .

@Pippox0

My friend have the same error.

We both use Windows 7 64 bit.

Has anybody the same problem?

Edit: Chipset ICH9 is enabled.

Kindly Regards

Hi,

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.

Thanks!

Adam

I used http://cheetha.net/ and it worked fine. I guess a recommended link would be helpful in original post.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Thanks to ALL, in 2 hours, I have the LION roaring (11A511) in VBox

Now my next trial is install it on my workstation as primary OS.

[equilibrium1]

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/

Hi,
You can use the OsInstall.mpkg i uploaded in my post easy install - is Vmm patched and  1024 mb ram patched so you can install even in a vmm with only 1024 ram .
You find it in the first posts of this discussion ...

It's working pretty solidly for me. One issue. I get occasional kernel panics. Perhaps one every few hours. Here's an example output:

VB settings: 6 CPUs (out of 16 on 2600K). 2G memory. SATA controller has use I/O cache. Everything else as described here. Using VB 4.1.0.
I've tried removing SMC kext (and using extra settings). No change.

Anyone else seeing panics? Anyone solved panics? Any other suggestions?

It surely a specific CPU error related to your Intel i7-2600K Cpu. 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)

Virtualisation is enabled in Bios. I've switched down to one core, and I'll keep an eye on it. It does run a lot faster with more though...
