[-X Before you get your panties in a wad, let it be known that the following is being attempted on GENUINE APPLE HARDWARE. Christ... :roll:
I'm currently single-booting Ubuntu 8.04 ("Hardy Heron") 64-bit on my 15" MacBook Pro C2D, version 3,1 "Santa Rosa." Thought it might be fun to get the Mac OS running as a guest under Linux. So, I've tried installing Leopard from the retail copy which I own as a virtual machine in both VirtualBox and qemu -- neither worked. Tried the same using the DVD I found on the train, labeled "KALYWAY Leo 10.5.1 OSx86," which only got me as far as the grey screen with Apple logo (no animated spinner or progress bar), which will hang indefinitely.
Hoping to find a copy of iAtkos 5i on my way home tonight, and wondering if this would even produce different results. I still intend to make this work using VirtualBox or qemu; dual-booting is the obvious solution for someone who wants the option, but that's not what I am trying to do here.
As much as I've searched for a solution, my situation seems to be unique in that I'm installing the Mac OS as a guest OS on Apple hardware with a Linux base.
Ideas?
