Impossible to install Mac OS on 1 computer but works on the other

Post by jeje »

Good evening,

With my girlfriend we followed a tutorial in order to use MacOS Catalina on Windows VirtualBox

At home it works correctly and I even tried 3 times to be sure that I am doing everything right and it worked all 3 times.

But with my girlfriend computer there is a problem ...

BdsDxe: loading Boot0001 “UEFI VBOX CD-ROM VB1-1a2b3c4d ” from PciRoot (0x0)/Pci(0xD,0x0)/Sata (0x1,0xFFFF,0x0)
BdsDxe: starting Boot0001 “UEFI VBOX CD-ROM VB1-1a2b3c4d ” from PciRoot (0x0)/Pci(0xD,0x0)/Sata (0x1,0xFFFF,0x0)

We only see 2 lines and it stays there, we waited 5 minutes each time and tried several times.

She has an AMD A6-9220.

Several sites indicate that with an AMD processor it is necessary to add the command
VBoxManage modifyvm "mac" --cpu-profile "Intel Core i7-6700K"
mac is her virtual machine name.

But that still hasn't fixed the problem and I really don't understand ...

Thank you for the help

Windows host OS and Mac guest OS is only allowed if the physical computer is an Apple computer. OSX guests on non-Apple hardware

And you don't have an Apple computer.
