miglo Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Latest version of Virtual Box 1.6 is released with support for Mac guest OS. Anyone tried it out?

Azurael Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I can only see Mac host OS support, it's certainly not on their guest OS list.

Galen Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Good news is that it's already been proven Tiger can run under VirtualBox: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=2076 It seems possible with Leopard too: http://alex.csgraf.de/self/?qemu/ Problem is that I can't get it to work. I've been using the pcwiz vmware vmdk as a handy starting point. Even with safe mode, adjusting the res down, setting all the backwards compatibility flags I can think of (-f, x86pc, etc.) I can't get it to fully boot. It loads the kexts, then VirtualBox either just abruptly closes, or reports a fatal error and gives a logfile that is (to me) both long and meaningless. I've also tried almost every combination of settings in VirtualBox. Nothing seems to work. I've tried the native and ToH kernels. I will occasionally hack at it, but if I knew the source of the issue, it would go so far in helping guide the process. Another set of solutions for Darwin under Virtual Box: http://sites.google.com/a/puredarwin.org/p...pers/virtualbox It's so close, I can smell it. Anybody want to help? Contribute suggestions?
