I have been succeeded to install Leopard in VB thanx to Black Trinitron
(http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20… ↗)
But I'm still testing on what I need to get everything to work because im not 100% sure what I need in Customization.
Plus it looks different in each version of OSx86 (for example iATKOS, iDeneb, iPC etc.)
Thanx!

* Network works when I have in bridged mode (but not NAT).
* Mouse Integration (from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11… ↗) does not work (because it is just for Snow Leopard!)
* Sound does not work (Device not found)
* OS feels slow but it seems to work good in general
But these stuff can probably work if I know what to choose in Customization..
Thanx!
I tried with this kext and another I found in another place, but still 'No output device found'.. :'(
Thanx for your inputs Imkantus,
Sorry for wrong info in the start, I wrote Snow Leopard but I meant just Leopard..
I have not tried your suggestion yet, but the kext you send link for is only for Snow Leopard right?
Now VirtualBox 3.2.0 have much better support for Mac OS X as guest!

Well I am not completely sure about the hardware beeing emulated by VB - I am having something like one of the older Intel chipsets in mind from earlier tries with that software, but I am not sure 'bout that & it might variate depending on the VB version you are using.
It would be great if you could install this package http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11… ↗ in your Guest-OSx86 system (it works with 32-Bit Kernel only) & then post what's beeing returned, when you enter "lspci -nn" on the Terminal.
When we have this information & when you tell us what functions (Sound, etc) you are exactly missing, we might be able come up to you with a solution to you.
Try to add this Kernel Extension it should work for Audio.
No idea about the other isssues from site - sorry…
Maybe with adding your Device ID 0x24158086 to kext content / Info.plist ?
hi, i tried to use iWorks on VirtualBox , but it doesn't work correctly .
No slides on Keynotes only write screen.
I think that it is bacause these isn't a Kext for video emulation on Vb.
Any Suggestions ?
