Yosemite Zone is stuck installing on VirtualBox

Post by ThatOneWindowsFan »

I'm trying to install a hackintosh distro known as Yosemite Zone based on OS X Yosemite in VirtualBox. I managed to boot up, but when trying to actually install Yosemite, it's stuck at 2 minutes remaining.

OS: EndeavourOS Linux
VirtualBox version: 7.0.20 (yes i know it's an old version but whatever)

I think you'd have better luck in a Hackintosh forum; You're attempting to install a modified x86 OS on an old version of a third party virtual machine on Linux (presumably on AMD64 hardware).

Although I'd recommend simplifying things significantly, and trying vanilla Yosemite in KVM with OpenCore? It works in QEMU under emulation, so it should work via virtualization too.

I think I'll use the whole KVM thing as a last resort, do you know of a hackintosh forum that could help me with my problem?

Figured it out, it was actually done installing but it didn't say that because Yosemite Zone is very buggy.
