CrAzYoNi Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Dear all, I'm a proud owner of MBP (Mid 2012) 13'. Running OSX 10.9 (Maverick) with the latest version of VirtualBox (3.4.6 I think...) I've tried to setup Maverick on VB for performing tests on it but couldn't make it. I've used the App Store Maverick installation .app to make it both bootable ISO & .dmg (with & without AppleTyMCEDriver) Any time I'm booting the machine its freezing, screenshot attached. If needed, my MBP info: Any ideas whats causing this issue? or how can I solve it? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYoNi Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 BTW, I've just installed Trial of VMware Fusion 6, used the Maverick dmg file without the AppleTyMCEDriver module and its installing, its MUST be an issue with the latest version of VirtualBox nor its configuration.. somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcai777 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 you have to make sure that both the .dmg that you're booting from and the hard drive are set to SATA AHCI... NOT IDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYoNi Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Dcai777, thanks for your reply!!!After making sure that VirtualBox will load my bootable CD as SATA AHCI I was able to boot into the setup wizard, but I don't see any HDD there - it didn't load the VM HDD. Do you know what may cause it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcai777 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Is the Hard drive also set as AHCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYoNi Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Yes, it is. Both the HDD & the OSX media are under the same SATA controller set to SATA AHCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcai777 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 you have to go to disk utility and format the hdd as Mac HFS Journaled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
