There are some parameters to be passed on to QEMU-KVM when booting OSX so here is a quick summary:
#Virtualbox for mac os x 10.8.2 install
Now you can configure make and install the package.īefore booting make sure the kvm_intel kernel module is loaded (Im on an INTEL CPU, did not try AMD kvm_amd) Just make sure you change the 0x11 to 0x14 on line 737. So what we need is to download a proper QEMU-KVM version from here: /projects/kvm/files/qemu-kvm/0.14.1/ or direct download /projects/kvm/files/qemu-kvm/0.14.1/qemu-kvm-0.14.1.tar.gz/downloadĮxtract the file and modify the hw/apic.c like this : diff apic.c But no worries, it is open-source after-all and a simple patch can fix this which I will show further on. I had no luck in 1.2.x or 1.1.x to get the virtual network card to work and earlier versions were also buggy, so stick to this one (works fine for Windows,Linux,OSX,BSDs…).Īnother important thing is that any newer OSX system wont even boot on APIC IDs that are 11 or less.
#Virtualbox for mac os x 10.8.2 driver
I have had best success with qemu-kvm version 0.14.1 because of the RTL8139 network driver in this version.
OS: Debian stable 64bit with vanilla kernel 2.6.50 & GRSEC/PAX patches and kvm_intel module.My software specifications are as follows: Maybe the following information might be handy to somebody wishing to virtualize 64bit OSX for testing. I have managed to install and run iATKOS ML2 which is modified OSX 10.8.2 for PCs.
With GRSEC/PAX hardened kernel qemu-kvm works fine without any paxctl exceptions to its binaries or any modifications in the kernel config. Recently I have moved completely off from VirtualBox and started to use QEMU-KVM only. It is always nice to have a possibility to run a virtual system to test various software designed for different platforms.
