Help!!! Mac OS X Mavericks doesn't boot!

Post by Nerdy NA »

I just got done installing Mac OS X Mavericks to my VirtualBox, but whenever I launch it it gives me a couple of issues.

Issue #1:
It tells me: "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Certain guests (e.g. OS/2 and QNX) require this feature and will fail to boot without it.", but I can click continue which brings me to issue #2.
But before I get into issue #2, let me just say that on enabled VT-x, I already did that. I went into my BIOS and enabled Virtualization Technology. What's more that I have to do?

Issue #2:
Whenever I go to the boot menu and press "ENTER" and/or type "-v" then press "ENTER", it just brings up this small dialog for 1/2 a second and then disappears, and it doesn't allow me to go through the setup process.
Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

VM log file please: right click the VM in the GUI. Select "Show Log". Save "VBox.log" to a file. Compress that file and attach it to a message here.

Apple hardware has no BIOS.

Not that a user can get into that is.

I know, I'm talking about my computer for VirtualBox.

It violates Apple's SLA to run OSX on non-Apple hardware and can get you banned here.

Okay, fine, but could you at least tell me how I can get 64-bit guests? I have a 64-bit OS and it's not allowing me to have 64-bit guests. Help?
