Running Mojave in VirtualBox under Big Sur #125

Open ajanogueira opened 3 years ago

ajanogueira commented 3 years ago

I am running Big Sur on a MacBook Pro 2017 with 16Gb memory. Everytime I run the script when the Virtual Box is launched I allways get the same image.pdf

I tried with other OSX images other then Mojave (all generated by installinstallmacos.py) I always get the same message. As you see from the log everything goes smothly runMacOSVirtualbox.log

Hope you can help me sorting it out

I forgot to mention that I am using Virtualbox 1.16 r140961

Have you tried to delete all old files with clean and stash / stashvm? See make help. However, I'd assume something with using installinstallmacos.py is wrong. At the same time, the log doesn't look too bad...

I repeated tyhe whole process after running make clean and creating the Mojave install again. The drive created in VirtualBox 6.1 boots properly but when I select Install MacOS I always get the message "This copy of the Install macOS Mojave application is damaged, and can't be used to install macOS"

Any clues on what I should do? If needed I can shared the Installation disk with you (about 500 Mb). Thanks

Instead of using the menu option "Install MacOS" I tried to launch the installer directly from the Terminal using /Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/MacOS/InstallAssistant

and the system installed properly
