If any of the VirtualBox developers happen to be in town, I will be happy to buy you a beer.
I only hope that the recent changes will not stand in the way of further progress of this great program. While it represents much that I dislike both in design and philosophy, I'm glad that I have the opportunity to fiddle with it in a virtual environment, without letting it touch real hardware. MacOS is an operating system that continues to both disgust and fascinate me. Some of this brokenness might be remediable with some driver fiddling, but at this point I'm pleased just to have it running at this level. Video works, but only up 1024x768 and without Quartz Extreme (with means no Time Machine, among other things). And it's fast, too much faster than under. Finally, I loaded the ApplePS2 driver for mouse and keyboard.Īnd then it booted! I never thought I would see the day. I also got a "commpage no match for last" panic until I selected the Voodoo9.5 kernel instead of the stock kernel. After the first install, it wouldn't boot until I manually installed the Chameleon2 bootloader from the Utilities menu. Once I got into the installer, some more experimentation was necessary. With the given configuration, the installer got a kernel panic during boot: "simple lock deadlock detection." After some experimentation, I found that the installer will boot only if I give it exactly one CPU. I attempted to boot iATKOS 7, which is based on MacOS 10.5.7, from an ISO image. I initially configured VirtalBox as indicated above: FreeBSD 64-bit, IO APIC, 2 CPUs, 982MB RAM, ICH6 HD controller, PAE, VT-x, nested paging, and the undocumented SupportExtHwProfile flag. My host OS is Ubuntu Karmic with VirtualBox 3.1.4. I thought I'd share my experience getting MacOS running as a guest OS.
