A few other bits of info that weren't explicitly spelled out that might be helpful for others: create VM with type Mac OS X and version Mac OS X (64-bit); I set RAM to 4096, not sure that is optimal; create thje VM with a virtual hard drive of format VDI (I chose dynamically allocated). FYI, Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (x86-modified Hazard distro) under VirtualBox 3.2.8 (no OS X Guest Additions supported) seems to be an order of magnitude slower than VMware Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Retail with VMware Tools (torrent: “Mac OS X 10.6.2 Virtual Machine for VMware”). Core 2 Quad, Raptor RAID 0, Windows 7 host, 2GB guest RAM. Running Mac OS X in a virtual machine is supposedly against the Mac OS X EULA, at least with some versions of the system software, but how strictly that is enforced remains to be seen, so it’ll be interesting to see if VirtualBox continues to support Mac OS VM’s. Type: Mac OS X; Version: Mac OS X (64-bit) Pay attention when selecting the version because you may find that High Sierra is offered as a version when you go to install it. But if it’s not, you can just choose the settings I listed above and they should work fine.
If you’re a Mac user like me, who uses VirtualBox to run guest / virtual Operating Systems within OS X, you will most likely encounter errors with VirtualBox under Mavericks, specifically if you upgrade to OS 10.9 from a pre-existing OS X install where VirtualBox was already installed.
These issues will include anything relating to “Kernel Extension” errors when launching the VirtualBox application or “Kernel Driver Not Installed” errors when launching a Virtual Machine.
If this happens:
I just got done installing Mac OS X Mavericks to my VirtualBox, but whenever I launch it it gives me a couple of issues. Issue #1: It tells me: 'VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system.
1. (Re)Download and (re)install the latest version of VirtualBox for OS X.
2. (Re)Download (re)install the respective Extension Pack.
3. In a shell (Terminal), cd /Library/Extensions and sudo rm -rf VBox*.kext
4. Reboot
This should solve all of your issues. Step 3 above is important because it appears that those Kernel Extension files are for older versions of VirtualBox (pre-4.3) that are not cleaned up by a re-install of VirtualBox, and will cause issues with 4.3 (which is the latest version of VirtualBox at the time of this writing).
While you’re at it, you may as well reinstall the Guest Additions in your respective VMs after you fix your VirtualBox install.
