FYI, Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (x86-modified Hazard distro) under VirtualBox 3.2.8 (no OS X Guest Additions supported) seems to be an order of magnitude slower than VMware Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Retail with VMware Tools (torrent: 'Mac OS X 10.6.2 Virtual Machine for VMware'). Jul 10, 2010 Previously, we showed you how to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard using VMware in Windows 7. Since VMware license costs a lot, the good news is that you can now install OS X in Windows using one of the most popular free virtualization software called VirtualBox. You’ll need to have a system with an Intel or AMD processor which supports hardware virtualization, OSX86 iso, VirtualBox and Windows.


Select IDE Controller (IDE Primary Master) and select the OS X Snow Leopard ISO file we created in step 3 Left click the RED Apple inside the running VM to bring context control back to the VM (note your cursor will disappear). Now press the F5 key on your keyboard. This will tell the VM to check for the newly loaded ISO file. Nothing to lose. Well, imagine my surprise when I copied the iso to a USB stick, stuck it into my 2008 MacBook Pro and it worked beautifully. EDIT: I found another way to install Snow Leo in Virtualbox I used:-Retail Snow Leopard DVD.iso-EmpireEFI.iso-VirtualBox 3.1.51-Ubuntu 9.10 Host The instalation was flawless, network worked out of the box. Open up Virtualbox and click on New at the top left. At the Create New Virtual Machine window, click Next. At this window type OSX as the name and it will automatically change the system and version. Download and install the freshest version of VirtualBox for your OS. Launch VirtualBox and choose “New”.

I am trying to install MAC OSX Snow leopard 10.6 (using the following iso image: 10.6.2 SSE 2/SSE 3 by HAZARD) onto virtual box on my Windows 8 64bit laptop. Much to no avail, the installation completes successfully but when I attempt to reboot the virtual machine I keep getting the very frustrating error
<<GURU MEDITATION: CRITICAL ERROR...THIS VIRTUAL MACHINE IS SHUTTING DOWN NOW>>

MY LAPTOP HARDWARE SPECS:
- Intel Core i3 2.5GHZ processor 64bit
- Windows 8 professional
- 6 GB of RAM
- tons of hard drive space
- Virtual Box ver. 4.3.18 release.
MY VIRTUAL MACHINE SPECS FOR MAC OSX SNOW LEOPARD
- ISO image mounted: Snow Leopard 10.6.2 SSE 2/SSE 3 by HAZARD)
- 2GB RAM
- 20GB to 40GB virtual hard drive
- Hardware virtualization is enabled (my laptop does run virtual machines as other MAC OS X versions from Lion to Yosemite work well on VMWARE 10)
- MacOSX label -- tried with either 32 bit or 64bit -- doesn't matter -- still results in Critical error.
- EFI disabled
- Tested with EFIempire loader 1.085 and iboot 3.3
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When I go to install Snow Leopard, it runs through the installation just fine but when I get to the final screen where it says Setup completed successfully with the green checkmark, when the reboot counter counts down from 30 secs, I force unmount the OS iso disc and remount the boot loader using either EFIempire or iboot. I then reset the Virtual machine and after 2 seconds in, I keep getting the GURU MEDITATION, CRITICAL ERROR...THIS VIRTUAL MACHINE IS SHUTTING DOWN. It's very frustrating and just causing a lot of headaches. I can run MAC OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks and the new Yosemite OSes in VMWARE WORKSTATION 10 just fine but Snow Leopard is being a big pain!!! I also got two other errors: system config file error as shown below after editing the vbox file and sometimes exception errors.
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS I HAVE COMPLETED:
- Scenario 1: installed Snow Leopard and swapped with iboot 3.3 at the end of the setup process.
- Scenario 2: installed Snow Leopard and swapped with EFIEMpire 1.085 (as this was recommended for Intel I Series processors)
- Scenario 3: implemented the following vbox file fix and retried installation
<ExtraDataItem name=”VBoxInternal2/SmcDeviceKey” value=”*censored*”/>
RESULT: Got error during install: system config file '/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found
- After each of the above installation methods, still kept getting the GURU MEDITATION Critical Error in Virtual Box 4.3.18 after setup completes and I do force unmount of the OS image and reboot or reboot with boot loader in.
- Also even at startup before the Installation, when I switched from EFI Empire boot loader to the Snow Leopard ISO and when I switched from iBoot boot loader to the Snow Leopard iso, I got the Critical Error messages again, before installation began.
- In addition, when I switched from iBoot loader to Snow Leopard, instead of giving me the title of the Snow Leopard ISO, it had a multi coloured garbled rectangular box instead as if there was something wrong with the video. This was when I pressed F5 followed by Enter key to refresh the CD Image.
- While installing Snow Leopard 10.6.2 the Hazard edition...I also chose the Legacy Kernel but that resulted in the KERNAL PANIC.
- Tried installing the above Snow Leopard installs with Virtual box 4.1.18 but that resulted in blank black screen with NO ACTIVITY WHATSOEVER!!!
- Tried booting with boot loader in VERBOSE mode...couldn't understand anything on that...all cryptic.

- I also attempted install with the IATKOS S3 ISO I FOUND OF SNOW LEOPARD...during install -- got the KERNAL PANIC right away.
- Later MAC OS X beginning with 10.7.x and higher work but none earlier...on a very modern laptop...doesn't make any sense.
SETTINGS I HAVE ATTEMPTED VARIOUS INSTALLATIONS WITH in VIRTUAL BOX
    - I tried switching between MAC OS X labels from 32 bit to 64 bit and vice-versa - same error still occurs at the end.
    - Enabled USB and attempted installation with USB enhanced disabled.
    - Tried doing the installation with Video acceleration 2D and 3D enabled and another with them disabled.
    - Disabled EFI boot
    - Had the AMD/VT setting enabled as I know my laptop runs other Virtual Machines
    -Is able to run the new Windows 10 and MAC OS X Lion to Yosemite.
    - After looking at the log files, i noticed they mention something about Video or graphics (I tried doing the installations with 6MB video memory and increasing it all the way to 128mb but that had little effect)...now I did do the installation with the Generic Video driver (is that right??)
I have included all 3 copies of the log files from each install scenario --- would there be anyone, who has way more expertise or experience than me with MAC OS X and Virtual Box who can look through the log file, that can direct me to an appropriate solution where I can finally get Mac OS X Snow Leopard running on my laptop in Virtual Box and resolve these annoying Critical Errors once and for all??
I mean, how is it that other people can run Snow Leopard in Virtual Box on laptops like mine and they work??? Any help or expertise in this field would be greatly wonderful. Also since Snow Leopard is older than Lion, Mountain Lion etc... how is it the later MAC OS Xes work but the older ones do not?
Also do you know if having VMWARE 10 is causing conflicts with Virtual Box?
IF someone can provide the answer I'm looking for on how to resolve this as soon as possible...please contact me via email:
dbradshaw4@icloud.com or danny.bradshaw2009@gmail.com.
Please have a look at the included Log Files and the two screenshots and identify what could be causing these Critical Errors and how I can get Snow Leopard running on Virtual Box...if there is something that I am doing wrong...please let me know!!! Based on all I've explained thus-far.
Any solution or fix to this is greatly appreciated.....please get back to me as soon as you can!!!
I greatly appreciate your help in this matter!!!
Thank you very much, Danny

More and more frequently I find myself assisting customers with business analysis issues in Mac shops. Things can get complicated when dealing with multiple operating system platforms. A process that works great on Windows may not necessarily work on a Mac and vice versa. Throw some Unix or Linux into the mix and things get ubercomplex very quickly. To solve problems in heterogeneous computing environments, I like to have a test system with each operating system flavor at my fingertips. VirtualBox is the tool of choice for me. It’s free and offers a fairly low footprint on my computer. This tutorial will teach you how to install OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) on VirtualBox. I know there are a lot of guides on this already, but I found none of them detailed enough and most just didn’t work for me.

–UPDATE– A lot of you have been asking me about this article and stating that the instructions don’t work. I can confirm that these instructions DO NOT work using the current version of VirtualBox 4.3.8, nor do they work with any recent (2013/2014) released update version of VirtualBox. The version of VirtualBox which was used for this article and did work at the time with these instructions is VirtualBox-4.1.18-78361-Win. You can still download it here.

Furthermore, after some testing, it appears that only INTEL based host systems work for these instructions. I’ve tested the instructions using a system running Core i3 and Core 2 Duo systems with VirtualBox-4.1.18 and the instructions do work. On a system with an AMD FX8350 processor and VirtualBox-4.1.18, however booting the virtual machine just yields a gray apple screen and no hard drive activity.

–UPDATE 2– Several users have pointed out that the following videos show how to install and run OS X Yosemite in VirtualBox 4.3.20. Instructions on how to acquire all components are in the video descriptions.

  • AMD Architecture – http://bit.ly/1DP4BK1
  • INTEL Architecture – http://bit.ly/1zBHQTp
  • Optimize OS X on VirtualBox – http://bit.ly/1DP5zpv

[requirements]

  1. A RETAIL copy of OS X Snow Leopard ($29.99 at the Apple Store). The OS X Discs that came with your MacBook or iMac WILL NOT WORK because they are designed to only allow installation on Mac hardware.
  2. ImgBurn or some other tool to let you generate an ISO file from your Snow Leopard DVD.
  3. iBoot.iso (freely available here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/GYAdrDe6P1cZdIbL/iBoot-3.3.0.zip – registration is required)
  4. VirtualBox v4.1.18 (freely available here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_1)
  5. A host system running an Intel processor (according to my testing).

[procedure]

[step 1] Download and install Oracle VM VirtualBox.

[step 2] Visit http://www.tonymacx86.com/ and register a new account. Then download the iBoot.iso file here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/GYAdrDe6P1cZdIbL/iBoot-3.3.0.zip. Extract the ISO file and note its location, you’ll need it later. Download iBoot.iso here.

[step 3] Insert your Mac OS X Snow Leopard installation DVD into your computers DVD drive. Then open ImgBurn and create an ISO image file of the installation DVD. Note the location of this ISO file, you’ll need it later.

[step 4] Open Oracle VM VirtualBox and create a new Virtual Machine. For the OS Type Operating System and Version options, select MacOS X and MacOS X Server respectively.

[step 5] Next specify the maximum amount of ram you have available for the Virtual Machine (VM). My host system has 8GB of ram, so I selected between 2 and 4GB or RAM for my VM.

[step 6] Next create a new Virtual Disk (VD) in VDI format. If you select the Dynamic Allocation option, you’ll be specifying the maximum size of your virtual disk in this dialog. The disk file will only be as large as the aggregate of the data you store in your virtual machine.

[step 7] Once your VM has been created in VirtualBox, edit its settings by right clicking it. In the System->Motherboard tab, you’ll want to make sure that the following options are set:

  • Boot Order
    • CD/DVD Rom (checked)
    • Hard disk (checked)
    • (all others unchecked)
  • Chipset
    • ICH9 (selected)
  • Extended Features
    • Enable IO APIC (checked)
    • Enable absolute pointing device (checked)
    • (all others unchecked)

On the System->Processor tab, select the number of processors you want your VM to have (my host system has a Core I3 processor so I selected two).

  • Processor(s):
    • 1 (or more depending on your host system capabilities)
  • Execution Cap:
    • 100%
  • Extended Features:
    • Enable PAE/NX (checked)

On the Storage tab, you may want to create two IDE CD/DVD drives. One should be the IDE Primary Master and one should be the IDE Primary Slave. This is optional, but you will always require one drive to have the iBoot.iso file mounted on it so I suggest having two virtual drives for mounting of other ISO files when needed.

Important: Select the IDE Primary Master drive, click the CD Icon and select Choose CD/DVD Disk file... and select the iBoot.iso file we extracted in [step 2].

There is no need to modify any other VM Settings, so click OK when done.

[step 8] Start the VM. After a few moments of running you should see the following screen:

[Step 9] Now we will need to virtually swap the iBoot ISO image for the the OS X Snow Leopard ISO image we created in [step 3]. Here’s how to do this:

  1. Hit the CTRL key on the right hand side of your Keyboard (at any time) to gain control of your cursor for use outside the running VM.
  2. Right-Clock the CD/DVD icon in the bottom right hand side of your running VM.
  3. Select IDE Controller (IDE Primary Master) and select the OS X Snow Leopard ISO file we created in [step 3]
  4. Left click the RED Apple inside the running VM to bring context control back to the VM (note your cursor will disappear). Now press the F5 key on your keyboard. This will tell the VM to check for the newly loaded ISO file. You should now see the following screen (NOTE iBoot has changed to Mac OS X Install DVD):
  5. Hit Enter on your keyboard to start the installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard on the VM you created.

[step 10] Follow the steps shown below in the guided OS X Installer:

NOTE: Some readers have reported a install screen without any installation destinations available at this stage. If this happens to you, it means that we’ll need to format your VDI or virtual disk as Mac OS Extended before you can proceed. Here’s how:

[step 10 a] From the installer menu select Utilities->Disk Utility.

[step 10 b] Select the virtual disk and then click Erase. Select the Mac Os Extended (Journaled) format and continue.

[step 10 c] When the format is complete, you should be able to proceed with the installation to the disk you formatted.

Click the available formatted disk to proceed with the installation.

[step 11] At the conclusion of the OS X installation program, you’ll be asked to turn off your PC. You’ll most likely see the screen below. When you do, close the virtual machine window and then select “Power Off the machine“. Note you can also do this from the VirtualBox management console by right-clicking the running machine and selecting Close->Power Off.

[step 12] Before you start your Virtual Machine again, we’ll need to make sure that the iBoot.iso file is set back as your default CD image. You can do this by editing your Virtual Machine Properties and checking to make sure the iBoot.iso file is mounted as the CD device.

[step 13] Now that your iBoot.iso file is mounted, we can start the Virtual Machine back up. After initial boot we should see the screen below. We can now use the right/left arrow keys to highlight virtual disk containing our OS X installation. Hit enter to boot the system. NOTE: whenever you change the CD device during a session, you must remember to change it back to iBoot.iso before restarting the VM. This is why I recommend creating to CD Devices. One as your primary containing the IBoot.iso image and one that you can use to mount other CD iso images.

Once your system boots, you’ll be asked to complete the setup program and specify personal information.

Once completed, your Mac OS X Snow Leopard VM should be ready for use. I suggest not installing the Oracle VM VirtualBox additions since they fail during the install on my version and there is an entire forum dedicated to hackery to get these to work. Sound isn’t perfect, but the VM works well enough for testing.

That’s it.
