bobthet101 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Hey all , i was successful in installing booting and updating a virtual box of OSX Snow Leopard on an Intel Sandy Brigdge I7 , with the help of a boot disk. I am trying to the same thing with the amd equivalent boot disks OSX86_ModCD-032311-151021 installing off a retail image of OSX SL and run into a snag. The system boots fine from the disk running the rd(0,0)/Extra/modbin_kernel , as well as finds the hard ware from VB , and will even install , however once installed the chamelon boot loader shows , then the apple screen shows , and stops there. No errors , no kernel panic , no spinny circle. Just quits. I have tried 5 different boot disks , all work the same. Anyone have any ideas ? Processor is an AMD FX - 4100 but as i said all of this is running on Virtual Box. oh as an update i ran it as a -v and tried to screen shot but it goes black as soon as i click out ... the last thing i saw was Starting Darwin x86 and something about couldn't find AHCI screenshot attached : Edited September 7, 2012 by bobthet101 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282614-virtualbox-snowleopard-amd-wont-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneee Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 You will need to copy the modbin_kernel to the root of your HDD and change the boot file from legacy to the modbin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282614-virtualbox-snowleopard-amd-wont-boot/#findComment-1853201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
