Hi all,
One well known issue of running a guest MacOS X under VirtualBox is that it's not possible to enter Recovery OS by pressing the Command+R key combination on VM startup. In fact after reading some bug reports on VirtualBox bugtracker it seems that it's not possible to enter Recovery OS at all. Apple macOS X 10.11.6-15G31 El Capitan. In this guide, you will. Download the El Capitan disk from Apple's server, Create an installation disk from the downloaded one, Create a virtual machine using Oracle VirtualBox, Install El Capitan from the installation disk. Create the macOS X 10.11.6 El Capitan Install Disk from official sources.

Version: Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan (64 bit) Click next, select 4GB of RAM, and next again. Select the El Capitan image that you have downloaded and unzipped as the disk image, and create the machine. Mac OS X build instructions Prerequisites on Mac OS X. 10.10.x (Yosemite) or later running on Intel hardware (PowerPC hardware is not supported nor is building an X11 variant).
El Capitan Vmdk
I have a MacBook Pro mid 2009 17' running El Capitan.I've been running VB successfully with a wide variety of guest OS's for years.
Now, I did the last VB 6.0.4 update (from VB 5.2.12 to 6.0.4) as usual. I had not checked the Docu whether El Capitan is still belongs to the supported Mac Host operating systems, before I did the update... So any of my guest OS's (Solaris 10, Linux) run for about a week without problems.
Now my questions: Why does not count El Capitan to the supported Mac host operating systems? Should I have to go back to the VB 5.2.X line?Mac Mini (late 2012) running El Cap (10.11.6) host with 16 GB RAM
