It looked like the install disc was starting to load, as if you'd started a Mac in verbose mode (Command+V), but it doesn't get very far.
I thought I was making some real progress when I finally upped the video ram to the max (128MB).
the VirtualBox logo appears, it looks like it's starting to boot, and then a message that it can't find a bootable volume a blank window that changes size a couple of times and then does nothing I've tried turning on/off various CPU options and optimizations.Įvery attempt results in one of two results: I've tried varying the amount of video RAM (up to 48MB) assigned to the guest OS. I've tried varying the amount of memory (up to 10GB) assigned to the guest OS. I've also tried mounting the InstallESD.dmg image from both my Moutain Lion and Mavericks installers. I've tried attaching the second drive to my DVD-RW drive that had a 10.8 installer DVD in it. I wanted to try VirtualBox as an alternative to Parallels but haven't been able to install Mountain Lion or Mavericks.Ĭreate a new VM, Mac OS X/Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (64bit) Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
While Mac-on-Mac virtualization is only experimental in VirtualBox, we can't experiment with it unless there is some direction on getting it installed. It halts now on "System Uptime in nanoseconds: " I installed the Expansion Pack (to VirtualBox on the host Mac) in order to get USB2 (EHCI) support, and the EFI mode installation was quite different this time. I got a little further when on one of the attempts, the installation halted still in EFI mode with the complaint about being unable to find an EHCI controller. The solid box cursor (non-flashing) on the next line doesn't respond to the keyboard, so I cannot type commands.
