Hi I am not able to find out what Virtualbox version is supported with MAC OS 10-6-8 Snow Leopard and where i can donwload it? Thanks for the quick update. In the main VirtualBox window select the Mac OS X 10.6 Server virtual machine on the left (don't open it or start it). Go to Apple menu Software Update and install all available updates (there will be quite a lot of updates and the 10.6.8 server update is over 1GB in size so they could take some time to download/install).
Today Apple released Mac OS X 10.6.8 the 8th (and final?) major update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. To update for any supported CPU, we recommend that you download the entire standalone Combo installer here.
Be sure to back up any important data, and if possible clone your hard drive before applying the update. Testing is underway. Report your results in the forum here.
All updated information will be posted here.
I have just got a Snow Leopard 10.6.8 guest running on a Lion 10.7.3 host. I had to downgrade from VirtualBox 4.2.1 to 4.1.14 in order to get this to work (VirtualBox 4.2 does not allow 'Mac OS X Server' to be selected as an OS; I got as far as the 10.6.8 update but switching to EFI rendered my virtual machine unbootable).
What we know about 10.6.8 so far...
- 10.8.0 Darwin kernel with native Sandy Bridge support. This means that going forward, all Sandy Bridge systems can use default iBoot + MultiBeast method.
- SATA3 6gbps now recognized and functional on Sandy Bridge.
- Includes drivers for Sandy Bridge Intel HD 2000/3000 Integrated Graphics (No Injector Yet)
- Includes drivers for AMD 6xxx Graphics cards
- Identifies and removes Mac Defender malware
- App Store Update to 'Get Ready for Lion'
- Still no NVIDIA 4xx Fermi support by default
IMPORTANT: For Socket 1155 Sandy Bridge users, installing the 10.6.8 update is causing crashes, or kernel panics. Use UpdateHelper before applying the update to solve this issue. Details here.
- Graphics - The update will replace your NVIDIA drivers.
- If you're using a NVIDIA 4xx 'Fermi' card, you will have to update to the latest official drivers BEFORE rebooting. Download here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-macosx-256.02.25f01-driver.html
- If your system is stalling in verbose mode on [ PCI configuration begin ], install the IOPCIFamily FIX available in MultiBeast 3.8.0.
- Audio - The update will replace your AppleHDA.kext.
- If you use ALC8xxHDA for audio, you will have to reinstall AppleHDA Rollback using MultiBeast. If you're using VoodooHDA, you will not need to make any modifications.
- USB - The update will replace your IOUSBFamily.kext.
- To restore full USB functionality on a Non-DSDT or EasyBeast system you may need to install USB Rollback using MultiBeast before reboot. Download MultiBeast.
