VirtualBox 6.0.4/6.0.5 fails to start any vm (0x80004005) on Mojave Host

[deerme]

Hi everyone

I have a problem when I tried to start any vm in Mojave with VirtualBox 6.0.4 / 6.0.5 (test daily snapshots), my host is not official (Latitude E7440 with Clover and Mojave 10.14.3).

My environment contain VMX cpu feature detected by OSX ( sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features) and the kext are active ( kextstat | grep virtualbox)

Code: Select all

158    3 0xffffff7f83183000 0xf0000    0xf0000    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv (6.0.5) C9D0F380-85ED-30D6-BF96-27DAC4016133 <8 6 5 3 1>

But, when I tried to start any machine (example minikube), VirtualBox show me the next message:

Code: Select all

#VBoxManage startvm minikube
waiting for VM "minikube" to power on...
VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'minikube' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine
#VBoxSVC.log
==> VBoxSVC.log <==

I know that my environment is not official and also I have tried installing / re-install / approving the application in the security options but nothing works. any ideas?

Thanks!

my host is not official (Latitude E7440 with Clover and Mojave 10.14.3).

VirtualBox for OSX is only supported on Apple hardware (which you do not have). And this ... OS that you have is not called Mojave, nor is it called 10.14, nor anything like that; it's called a Hackintosh.

I got to admit however, you are the first one (that I remember) who's trying to run VirtualBox on a Hackintosh host! So far all the incidents that we've had were trying to run Hackintosh guests, not run VirtualBox on a Hackintosh host! Bold, really bold move!

All the canned answers that I had were tailored for guests, even the manual has a warning about the guests, I don't think that we were anticipating a Hackintosh host...
