VirtualBox not working on macOS 12

Post by Zhéxué »

Hello all,
I wanted to install VirtualBox on my MAC running macOS 12 yesterday. This worked very well, but unfortunately the program keeps crashing on me when I want to install a VM instance. The system even thinks that the kernel of VirtualBOX is not installed....

Is there already a BETA - version of VirtualBox that I can possibly use?

Best greetings from Berlin

Is your Mac an M1 Mac? If so , Virtualbox will not run on it.

Otherwise, read the Mac Hosts forum (to which this topic is moved) to find the error message and what has been done about it.

Or post the exact error message and a Mac guru will see what can be done.

Also, Mac OS 12 is beta for now, so this will be in Mac Pre-Releases.
