I have successfully installed and run the OSX 10.11 on virtualbox a few while ago and I was able to successfully work with it and install xcode 7 on it and work with it without problems.
Now after a few days I have come to it and I have run the virtual machine and got the following error!!
It says: "Checking catalog file, incorrect number of thread records". It keeps working a while and finishes with closing the VM.
I didn't make any changes to it. I even created a new machine again using the existing ".VMDK" file and still no change.
I really need the data on it. Can you please help me with fixing the virtual machine? I have a .VMDK file with the size of 43 GB.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks GOD, I could finally find a solution for this problem. I launched another Mac virtual machine and followed this link on Youtube and installed Diskwarrior on the vm and from this vm, I could repair the other .VMDK file using Diskwarrior. I hope it helps :)
I had the same problem, found a simplier solution. I booted the virtual machine with Ubuntu live cd.
In terminal:
sudo apt install hfsprogs
# HFS file system consistency check, use fdisk -l to find your disk indetifier
sudo fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda2
The VM I was trying to run was running perfectly on a Windows 7 machine.
I had upgraded to Windows 10 and tried out the same machine (with all the same configs and vagrant boxes), uninstalled and reinstalled virtualbox several times, but it still doesn't work.
Tried making a brand new VM - that didn't work too.
Here's the error
Some people who had similar 'hostonly' errors have suggested to restart the VirtualBox service from terminal, but I don't know the Windows equivalent of that command.
Anybody had this error before? How do I solve this?
A test build is available at https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-5.0.1-101902-Win.exe . This should fix the host-only interface creation problem by introducing a 5-second timeout when querying the registry key. We would appreciate feedback (i.e. does it fix the host-only interface creation errors or not, is the timeout long enough).

Uninstalling the current VirtualBox and installing the testbuild worked for me
I have the same error and it seems to be a problem with changed network security in Windows and still no updated for it in Virtualbox.
Not pretty but a working solution (tested under Win10 build10130). This is what I did to get homestead up and working
Uninstall Vagrant and VirtualBox (restart if necessary)
Install notepad+ or other notepad replacement that handles linux line-endings
Download Vagrant v1.7.2, VirtualBox 5.0RC1, VirtualBox v4.3.6
Enable built-in administrator account.
net user administrator /active:yes
switch to Administrator account
Install Vagrant v1.7.2 (restart if necessary, log back into Administrator)
Install VirtualBox v5.0RC1
Install VirtualBox v4.3.6
Update VBox Host-Only adaptor driver (device manager,Search Automatically)
Edit VagrantFile file (where ever you vagrant up from) and change all ~/ to C:/Users/username/
Edit Homestead.yaml (Where ever you had it, likely C:\Users\username\.homestead) and change all ~/ to C:/Users/username/
Open VirtualBox
Run vagrant up
switch back to your usual user (do not sign out of Adminstrator)
hey presto, you have a working homestead
Each time after to manage vagrant (start, halt, whatever) switch to Administrator, manage, and switch back to your usual user. Do not sign out of the Administrator account when switching if you have a box up
I am trying to install Mac(OSX-Mavericks) using virtualbox On Windows 8.1.
Everything works fine But, when MAC Installation setup starts in virtual machine, it keep on loading and do not start the installation wizard stays on the first screen.
I have waited for a log time like 3-4 hrs but unable to figure out the problem as there is no error.
I am using a dell(Inspiron 3537).
I have installed Mac on my previous Samsung laptop successfully in the same way.
I will provide other information on demand as I'm not sure where the problem is as setup loads but not starts the installation process.
Thanks in advance
enable virtualisation on your BIOS, it may helps.
Open an administrator CMD shell and try this:
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox"
VBoxManage modifyvm <name_of_your_vm> --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff
Then close/VirtualBox and open again (to save your new settings). Boot OSX with "-v" flag.
I've installed the genymotion+virtualbox package on Windows 7 64-bit and everything goes fine... But when I start Genymotion it presents me an error message Unable to load virtualbox.
VirtualBox is installed and I'm able to start it manually. I've tried to install the packages separately, updated virtualbox to 4.2.16 but nothing worked.
I've already read genymotion FAQ but it did not help.
I have spend all day to solve this error since none of the answers worked for me.
I found out that oracle virtual box doesn't install the network adapter correctly in windows 8.1
Solution:
Delete all previous virtual box adapters
Go to device manager and click "Action" > "Add legacy hardware"
Install the oracle virtual box adapters manually (my path was C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netadp\VBoxNetAdp.inf)
Now that virtual box adapters is installed correctly, it needs to be setup correctly. (the following solution is like many other solution in here)
Start Oracle VM VirtualBox and go to "File" > "Preferences" > "Network" > "Host-only Network"
Click edit
Set IPv4 192.168.56.1 mask 255.255.255.0
Click DHCP Server tab and set server adr: 192.168.56.100 server Mask: 255.255.255.0 low address bound: 192.168.56.101 upper adress bound 192.168.56.254
Now click OK and start genymotion
Had the same problem, Uninstall Genymotion, install VirtualBox stand alone from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads then install the Genymotion package without VirtualBox.
Try closing Android Studio/Eclipse if it's open. It worked for me.
In Linux at least, I had to restart VirtualBox, running this command on terminal:
/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox restart
Seems to be the same on Mac OS X.
What worked for me in Windows 7 is to remove the Host-only Network (in Oracle virtual box Preferences menu [CTRL+G] -> Network -> Host-only Networks). Genymotion will recreate it automatically at the next virtual device start. For the record; I'm using a Nexus S 2.3.7 virtual device.
Open Genymotion in Windows as an administrator. My Genymotion works only in this mode
FIXED SOLUTION
Run below command in terminal, It denotes where is your virtualbox install on MAC/Linux.
$ which vboxmanage
/usr/local/bin/VBoxManage
Genymotion search the virtualBox in /usr/bin/VBoxManage while it is located to /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage , you need to create the symlink to that location , Run in terminal to fix it.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/bin/VBoxManage
I am using Intellij IDEA and same error happened to me, I found that the path to genymotion folder was not configured properly. Either open settings using File > Settings or press Ctrl + Alt + S then in IDE Settings check if the path to the genymotion folder is correct or not.
Since Android Studio are almost similar to Intellij IDEA so you can apply the same steps above to Android Studio as well.
Actually it seems like Genymotion has an issue with the newer versions of Virtual box, I had the same issue on my Mac but when I downgraded to 4.3.30 it worked like a charm.
Verify that GenyMotion is in your PATH environment variable. I noticed mine was not auto populated, so once I entered it, it was fine.
For Windows there are 2 installers. Did you use the bundle containing VirtualBox installer?
It is call Windows 32/64 bits (with VirtualBox).
Don't ask what this has to do with that , but by right clicking the genymotion application file and changing to compatibility to Vista solved the problem!
I also experienced this when I upgraded operating system from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Un-installing Virtualbox and re-installing worked for me.
Close Android Studio (if Android Studio is running)
Run Genymotion as administrator
that's all! simple.
try launching it via android-studio/eclipse plugin. Thats how I had similar issue when launching it from ubuntu.
I am trying to install Mac OSX on Windows XP using virtualbox and keep getting this message: BSD root: disk1s3, major 14, minor 3. I have assigned an 80gb virtual hard drive and have tried other iso files, but get the same message.
Technically installing MAC OSX on a virtual machine is against the EULA. That being said it's not a trivial operation to get OSX running on a VM. You might want to check out The OSX86 Project
