Hello,
I want to install El Capitan in Virtualbox 5.0.16 for testing use.El Capitan is my host system too.
There are instructions how to extract Xcode 4.1.x on newer OSX releases (the installer refuses to run), so I don't think this is a showstopper. What we'll fix is the version detection in the configure script. Handling El Capitan was missing (and even the already existing Yosemite one had a bug). Mac Mini (late 2012) running El Cap (10.11.6) host with 16 GB RAM VirtualBox 5.2.8 Trying to install El Cap as guest using Selecting In Wizard either Mac OS X (64 bit) or Mac OSX 10.11 El Capitan (64 bit) gives same end result.
Right when you are proposing to run Mac OS X 10.11 EL Capitan on VirtualBox and that too on windows, it will butcher a limited quantity of your extra essentialness yet when done it is awesome. Also Read:-How to Install macOS High Sierra on Virtualbox. Overview of Mac OS X El Capitan on Virtualbox on Windows. The power technologies in OS X El. Among different Mac OS X releases, El Capitan 10.11 is known as a prominent release now known as macOS El Capitan providing numerous enhancements and a wide range of powerful features. It provides a sleeker user interface with an eye-catching environment; the users can find everything with the glimpse of an eye.
In several postings I have found a script to create El Capitan.iso.
But the installation process stops showing the 2.0 shell within less than a second.I followed the hints like to change the chipset to PIIX3 or tried to edit the startup.nsh for to add some recommended published lines. Perhaps I did.n’t quite get it, because the edition of this file failed.
Another solution was reported to start the installation with Yosemite or Mavericks and then after successful installation start an upgrade process.
Unfortunately I have an installation dvd of Snow Leopard only. With this there is another problem, because the virtualized hard disk isn’t recognized just at the beginning of the installation and so this installation fails too.
There were several reports that El Capitan is not well supported by Virtualbox and another reason for problems should be that Apple changed MBR to GPT. I have read other postings in this board but didn’t find a real solution for me. According to other reports the virtualization of El Capitan worked well obviously after having created the iso file successfully.
So has anybody some hints how to manage the boot failure described above and maybe can post a helpful script of commands?
