Hello,
I want to install El Capitan in Virtualbox 5.0.16 for testing use.El Capitan is my host system too.
In several postings I have found a script to create El Capitan.iso.
But the installation process stops showing the 2.0 shell within less than a second.
Another solution was reported to start the installation with Yosemite or Mavericks and then after successful installation start an upgrade process.
Unfortunately I have an installation dvd of Snow Leopard only. With this there is another problem, because the virtualized hard disk isn’t recognized just at the beginning of the installation and so this installation fails too.
There were several reports that El Capitan is not well supported by Virtualbox and another reason for problems should be that Apple changed MBR to GPT. I have read other postings in this board but didn’t find a real solution for me. According to other reports the virtualization of El Capitan worked well obviously after having created the iso file successfully.
So has anybody some hints how to manage the boot failure described above and maybe can post a helpful script of commands?
Thank you in advance.

I obtained the OS X El Capitan image from here and modified it as outlined in the guide. On startup I get a kernel/cpu panic and was unable to boot.

I followed the hints like to change the chipset to PIIX3 or tried to edit the startup.nsh for to add some recommended published lines. Perhaps I did.n’t quite get it, because the edition of this file failed.El Capitan Image File
