mac04 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 What I've done so far is boot from Hackboot_mav.iso then replaced that with the Mavericks .iso, hit F5 and started the install. However the problem seems to be that the computer is stuck on "hfs: mounted OS X Base System on device root_device". It hasn't progressed for 25 min. Host specs: i5-4670K MSI Z87-G41 8GB DDR3-1600 r9 270X Virtualization set enabled in the BIOS For the VM I gave it 2GB of RAM, 50GB storage, and disabled EFI.

az42us Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I have the exact same problem after just getting a new Macbook Pro running Maverick 10.9.2 as the host OS tried different parameters for the VMI, all defaults, 4GB/40GB, 4GB/60GB Core I7 16GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheParadox2 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yup same here... I've made a little progress... I found changing the chipset to PIIX3 in VBOX (using version 4.3.10 i think) got me past a guru meditation error early on but later results in a panic afterwards... Also thinking PAE/NX should be disabled so the guest doesn't know the CPU data and therefore is unable to determine its not a mac CPU. However, disabling that might mean the exact same thing. If it wasn't a panic, I'd say this a root cause, but it's not or appears not.I think the guys at VBox are spoiling mac os x as a guest... but I have nothing to back that claim up with aside from a warning on their forums about Apple's SLA.Linux - AMD A10 APU, 8gb ram, Radeon HD 8670M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
