Is it possible to install 10.6/7/8 as a guest?

Post by Timmmmy »

The subject pretty much says it all. I want to install various version of OS X as guest OSs in virtual box running on a 10.7 host. Is it possible? I can't seem to get it to work.

You're not going to get any help here on that. Even if it was possible (which I don't believe it is) it's highly illegal due to the EULA for MacOS-X....

I've heard the EULA has been updated and virtualization is now allowed.

The EULA with 10.7 does allow virtualization of OS X; however it does not work with Virtualbox.

Yes, it is possible. I have 10.6.6, 10.6.8 and 10.7.1-4 running on VB. However, had to go back to version 4.1.16 of Virtualbox - version 4.2 breaks the 10.6 and 10.7 functionality and causes the machines to crash a *LOT*. Went backwards and the VM's are running fine again.
