Unable to set more than 1 CPU

Post by jaysonragasa »

Question why can't I set more than 1 CPU for any macOS that I want to create starting from Sierra to Big Sur?

My machine
Acer Nitro 5
I have Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20Ghz | 6 Cores | 12 Logical Processors
24GB of RAM
1TB SSD

VirtualBox version 6.1.18r142142

I have followed what wikigain.com instructions and it just doesn't work. After several hours of trial & error. I found that when just setting 1 CPU, it goes through the macOS installation process. But when setting 2, 3, 4, 5 (6 is the limit) it won't even get through the apple logo.

I attached the logs here
.log.1 is the log for 4 CPU setup
.log.2 is the log for 1 CPU setup

I cannot understand all the logs there so probably some one could point out what's causing why I cannot use more than 1 CPU.

Thank you
