I've sort-of successfully done this using Fedora 15 x86_64 KVM + Kalyway OSX 10.5.4 x86 image, however, it only worked because the kalyway image has been heavily modified. However, one thing I didn't try since then, but have considered is that qemu can emulate other processors, that might be worthwhile to test out, using the qemu directly rather than with something else like virt-manager/rhev/convirt, etc.<div>
I didn't keep it around because as another poster mentioned, the performance was poor, and for me, graphics were also poor; and last but not least, the kalyway image breaks on the first update if it isn't provided by kalyway. I don't recommend going that direction if it can be avoided.<br>
<div><br></div><div>I'm also trying to get an unmodified OSX image to boot on Virtualbox, but haven't successfully gotten this to work yet - but one of the other posters above might've provided the hint there with using the EFI boot option.</div>

</div>I will confirm that this is even doable via VB, as I had this done<br>
once a year ago. Performance sucked, wasn't worth keeping, so I don't<br>
have directions, sorry.<br>
