GUI won't load... :(

Post by SteezyBoy »

Hey, I have installed Mac OSX Snow Leopard (osx86 Leo Hazzard) in VirtualBox on an AMD machine. It installed fine, but when it boots (in verbose mode) it boots all the way, but when it gets to where the GUI is supposed to show up, it is just a black screen (1024x768px). I wonder what is wrong... Does an incompatible graphics card on the host machine change anything? I thought that VirtualBox emulates it's own graphics adapter, but I could be mistaken. I actually own a Mac, and a copy of snow leopard so this is legal (I think). I need this because I don't always have access to the MacBook (I always forget to charge it XD). Thanks in Advance, Nick

I realize it's against Apple's license, but why include it in the Windows/Linux version of VirtualBox if it is not supported??
