i have a big problem with virtualbox 4.0.10 and mac osx 10.6.8. i tried today to update from snow leopord 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. at first it seemed to work but after a restart following error occurred:
My host is windows 7 intel i7 2630qm 8gb memory. i am really desperate because of this. i hope somebody can help me.
i dont understand. 10.6.7 worked fine for me, the problem occurred with the update. i also noticed that i cant install a new vm. when i select efi in bootloader to begin a new installation the same error occurres. only a copy of my vdi which i made months ago and which contains 10.6.7 works.
This shows up in google results for the question and is annoying to those searching for real answers so I will provide some general information about booting Operating Systems to answer the question while not violating any legal or licensing information.
Modern Operating system make use of a Kernel to boot, sometimes to get an OS to boot in VirtualBox the kernel of the OS is replaced, some Kernels have options such as 32 or 64 bit or bus ratios etc and you might need to specify these at the command line to make the OS boot properly. Also you want to make sure that during an update the kernel was replaced properly, if you have 2 kernel files the boot loader might load the incorrect kernel.
Virtual Box works with almost any OS, but not all uses of Virtual Box are Legal and you are using it at your own risk in that situation.
