Suggestion B: attempt upgrade from Snow Leopard within the virtual machine It may be something greater than 11A511 and if so, that greatness may be more suitable for use in virtual machines without the need to hack (see caution below). Suggestion A: await media from AppleĪwait Apple's provision of Lion on a USB thumb drive.

This version of Mac OS X is not supported on this platform! dmg files are recognised.ĭepending on your approach, you might see: With the most recent VirtualBox it is unnecessary to convert disk images. Whilst end user forums are currently limited to Mac OS X Server, not updated for Lion, there is discussion of Lion (not always Lion Server) in that context. If that indeed turns out to be the case it would be nice if the devs either fixed the issue, provided a CPU DB entry match that would allow things to work for earlier OS X guests, or provided some means to turn off this feature for individual guests.10.7 (Build 11A511) guest in VirtualBox 4.1 greater Since this started in 4.3.8 when the devs started improving the emulation of certain MSR registers I'm tempted to suspect that something in those improvements broke the earlier functioning. The only thing that really stands out is the following example in the 4.3.12 logs:Ġ0:00:00.572732 CPUM: Matched host CPU INTEL 0圆/0x1e/0x5 Intel_Core7_Nehalem with CPU DB entry 'Intel Core i7-3960X' (INTEL 0圆/0x2d/0圆 Intel_Core7_SandyBridge).

To have the install complete successfully it is also necessary to present a supported Mac Model Identifier for the version of OS X I'm attempting to install, which I do by modifying the DmiSystemProduct value. I do that using the VBoxManage modifyvm -cpuid command. In order to install older versions of OS X as guests on newer Mac hardware hosts it is necessary to present an older supported CPUID to the installer. There are two things that may stand out that I should explain. I've also included a log for the hang that occurs when using the 32-bit template in VB 4.3.6.Ĭhecking the logs I don't really see much difference that would explain the issue. In 4.2.24 the kernel panic occurs in the 64-bit templates and the 32-bit templates allow the installation of the guest. In all cases it is necessary to choose the 64-bit versions of the OS X templates for the guests in the VirtualBox General Settings because the 32-bit versions will hang on a blank black screen, something that, by the way, does not happen in 4.2.24. I've also included logs for both versions of VB when installing OS X 10.6 as a guest, where the install always works for both versions of VB. I've attached logs for both VB 4.3.6 where the install works for OS X 10.4 and 10.5 guests and VB 4.3.12 where it doesn't. I know this is not supported but it has worked in the past and I would like to see it continue to work in the future. Since VB 4.3.8, trying to do the the same results in a kernel panic in the OS X guest during the install. In my case the Mac hosts are a 2010 iMac and a 2008 Mac Pro. Up through version 4.3.6 of VirtualBox I've been able to successfully install versions of OS X 10.4 and 10.5 as guests on Mac hosts.
