10.6 server host - 10.4 server guest

Post by Sue Da-Nim »

I have an Apple Intel Xserve running Snow Leopard 10.6 server
I have installed Virtualbox 3.2.4
I am trying to install Mac OS X 10.4 server as a guest OS

after much mucking around with the configuration settings the best I can get is the following, after which the system hangs and does not proceed any further. (I am using Apple intel 10.4 boot media dvd)


.Looking for kernel cache file 'System\Library\Caches\com.apple.kernelcaches\kernelcache.5D089CD7'...

Which 3.2.4 ? There was a major bug so they released another 3.2.4 r62467 if you don't have this upgrade again.

@baf, 3.2.2 had a small issue, but was on Windows only.

OSX 10.4 is NOT officially supported as Guest OS. It may work, but that's with a lot of luck and not by design.
