Mar 14, 2021 Does not work on VirtualBox 6.1 and an AMD CPU. Guru meditation, all additional steps tried: 128MB VRAM, “Mac OS X (64-bit)”, etc It doesn’t change anything, it still doesn’t boot. LOIZOS VASILEIOU May 8, 2020 at 7:56 PM Reply. Hi, I’m using VirtualBox 6.1.6 on a Windows 10, trying to run MAC OS Mojave (.vmdk) that requires 79GB.

Virtualbox Mac Not Installing Windows 10

When you are looking to run a virtual machine on your Mac you have a selection of virtualization tools to use. One of these tools is free VirtualBox by Oracle

When VirtualBox is being installed it asks you to give it permission to access certain system sections. Failing to allow it to touch those settings will leave the installation corrupt.

1. INSTALLING VIRTUALBOX Download VirtualBox installation DMG from select OS X hosts. Double-click on the DMG file, to mount the contents. A window opens, prompting you to double-click on the VirtualBox.pkg installer file dis-played in.
2. Virtualbox has the option for a MacOS virtual machine in it’s New VM dialog, but we will need to make further adjustments to make it truly Mac-ready. Pop open Virtualbox, and Create a new Virtual Machine. Name this MacOS Mojave, and set it to Mac OS X (64-bit).

You can start the VirtualBox software but when starting to create virtual machines you run into issues and get the error message “Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)” shown above.

How to solve the kernel driver not installed issue in VirtualBox on a Mac?

1. Open up System Preferences
   
2. Select “Security and Privacy”
   
3. Click “General” at the top of the settings page and see at the bottom of the settings page is a message:
   “System software from developer “Oracle America, Inc.” was blocked from loading and the allow button is grayed out.
   
4. Click on the padlock icon to be able to make changes in the settings (you then need to enter your Mac user account password, provided you are an administrator).Once permission granted you click “Allow” next to the blocked info message.
   
5. Re-run the installation from the .dmg file you downloaded from virtualbox.org and this time the installation should run smoothly and after this you can already start a virtual machine, i.e. a Windows 10 Pro on your Mac, for which you need to download a fresh copy of a Windows 10 installation .iso.

Final note

Hoping this helps someone struggling to launch virtual machines on their Mac with VirtualBox.

Ps, I was ready to use VMWare free version, but no matter how much I tried, the account confirmation e-mail from VMWare never reached my mail – so I proceeded to VirtualBox and it did not disappoint.

Here is my Windows 10 virtual machine running after applying the fix above, then performing the many steps of installing Windows 10:

Hi everyone, please excuse any shortcomings in the info I'm supplying as being nearly 80 I don't understand some of the terms used. So here's my problem, I've been running Virtual Box (5.2.22) on my imac/sierra set up for 4 years but trying to boot up last week it failed and brought up the attached message, I tried installing the latest update but that then failed with the message to contact the software supplier. I've tried looking for the path in the message thinking I could find the missing file in my old back ups but cannot find it. Thanks in advance for any help your able to offer.
