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

I want to use Linux on my M1 MacBook for my Info Sec course. I have installed the latest version of Oracle VirtualBox (6.1.26). It installed just fine with no glitches. But after importing the .ova file, when I start the system. It gives two error boxes.
VM Box Error 1
VM Box Error 2
I have tried a bunch of fixes. Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) Getting Errors in macOS Big Sur 11.0.1
Unable to start a Linux VM in VirtualBox
But this doesn't work. First of all, I didn't get any message in the System preferences > Security & Privacy > General section. Secondly, when i run the commands mentioned in the link above, it says
Error Domain=KMErrorDomain Code=71 "Incompatible architecture: Binary is for x86_64, but needed arch arm64e.
Incompatible architecture: Binary is for x86_64, but needed arch arm64e
Terminal Snapshot
I guess this is a M1 specific problem because of the arm64 architecture.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
It looks like the Virtual Box you try to import was installed with an x86_64 archtiecture. As of now it is not possible to run a x86-based guest on an M1 Mac since they are different architectures.
EDIT:

Lists all supported HOST os. It requires Intel Macs as for now.

I have been trying to install VirtualBox on Mac os High Sierra but installation is failing. I tried all the steps provided here Virtualbox not installing on High Sierra but nothing worked for me. Basically, while installing, it is not asking me if I should allow outside app from Oracle or not. After the failed installation, I see that the VirtualBox still got installed but when I start a vm, it errors out and gives all sorts of other errors. Any thoughts?
I'm tring to create a macos virtual machine in synology nas with virtual machine manager.
Is there a way to build and to run in such a way an macos on synology nas ?
I successfully installed IATKOS ML2 on VMM but it’s not the last version of macOS ... It’s a beginning
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
I have recently started using VirtualBox to get my Linux environment rather than fully using Ubuntu. For me this works well. But recently i have realized that in the Ubuntu vm the only thing I use a lot is the terminal, mostly just because I need the Linux environment and not the full desktop.
So I tried installing Ubuntu server into a VM, which worked. But as soon as I reboot the machine, it fails after the system boot logo. After BIOS and where I would log on from the command line I simply get a black screen with a non blinking cursor. So I am never fully able to boot into the vbox.
I read up on the command line version, trying to run it headless and then connecting to it from demote desktop. after starting the vbox I am able to connect to the desktop and see the grub screen but after selecting Ubuntu I get that same non-blinking cursor.
So is this really possible? I tried cygwin but it never really felt adequate to me. I like and am very comfortable with the Ubuntu/Debian command line. How could I (if possible) accomplish this? I want to be bale to start up the VBox and get the full command line for that vbox session. Any ideas?
Ubuntu version: 10.10, VirtualBox v. 4.0.4 r70112 and I am on Windows 7 Ultimate.
You didn't mention the versions of Ubuntu and Virtualbox.
I failed twice to install full Ubuntu 10.10 over the latest VirtualBox 4.0.4 over Ubuntu (problems like those you describe), so I switched to Debian 6.0.
All you require to install Ubuntu headless is to install the server version, which you already did. If you get blank screens, tweak the ioapic settings in both VB and Ubuntu. Another tweak is to switch between IDE and SATA drivers for the main disk (the Grub in my non-virtualized Ubuntu hangs if there's USB media attached at boot time).
If you can run full Ubuntu on a VM, you can try downgrading it by removing the xserver-xorg package, or changing the default runlevel.
If all you want is a Linux consule, you can install Debian 6 without any GUI components.
