ifrit05 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Is VT-x enabled in your BIOS? In VirtualBox VM Settings? And does your CPU Support it? EDIT: Just read the specs, why not install OS X on your laptop natively? It should support it. (Core 2 Duo's are a VERY good CPU to run Mac on, because they actually used them before). Geforce 8600M's are supported too AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikber18 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Is VT-x enabled in your BIOS? In VirtualBox VM Settings? And does your CPU Support it? Hi, I went to the BIOS and can't find the VT-x function at all... can you try and help. I've got the standard Asusg1S BIOS, never did an update, do it all stayed the same in that respect.... I'm sure it will be in there somewhere but I can't find it.... Also, on the internet there is this site about OSX on my Laptop but frankly I don't think I want to follow it right now because I want to make it work on my VM EDIT I found out that VT is not enabled in my BIOS and that I can't enable it due to the following (source Notebookbook review forum) : Hi, Although the CPU could support Intel VT technology, all of our BIOS did not open this function due to the consideration of stability. So we do not have this option available in the bios nor are we planning due to the above consideration... thks peter! Now... With that in mind, what can I do in order to make it work on my laptop.... BIOS update, never done that before but I know that ASUS provides you with the BIOS Flash Utility or something along those lines accessible from the BIOS because I was looking at it earlier....

mikber18 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 On another thought.... would the fact that I'm trying to install Snow Leopard 10.6 have any impact on the fact that it refuses to boot... I mean that release of OS might have higher hardware requrements to the ones that my laptop is capable of providing... Should I try getting a different version?? and if so... which one ??

Leatherneckbiker Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I had the same problem. After your install is complete, before you reboot, go into System/Acceleration and disable Nested Paging. See if that doesn't help. You can try the steps I did here and see if that doesn't get you running. My hardware is different, but it's worth a shot.
