How to run Android-x86 4.2 ISO on VM VirtualBox?
I installed Oracle VirtualBox on Win7, then I downloaded android-x86-4.2-20121225.iso from Android-x86 - Porting Android to x86. After I installed Android x86-4.2 on VirtualBox from ISO and creating fake SD Card for it, I tried to run it, but when I started it I saw these lines in console:
Detecting Android-x86... found at /dev/sda1
ANDROID root@x86:/ #
And no thing else. I tried that some times but result is the same. How I can solve this problem?
Update: Even I waited more than 20 minutes and nothing happen!
Solution 1:
You just need to change the value of "androidboot.hardware" parameter in the grub command from "Android-x86" to "x86". You can do this by pressing "Tab" in the boot menu or by editing "isolinux.cfg" file on the installation ISO Image.
Hope this works for you.
Solution 2:
I have an HP430 Laptop with Windows 7. I had the same problem. But I figured out the solution:
While booting the computer with Windows 7 I entered the BIOS menu. There was a option to optimize the PC for virtualization. I selected it. After that every thing ran smoothly.
Later I noticed that in VirtualBox, in system settings, the acceleration type was VT-x AMD, Nested Paging, PAE/NX. This was different before optimization.
Solution 3:
The real answer appears 9 months ago on youtube:
- Close VM
- In the system tab under settings for the Android machine uncheck "hardware clock in UTC time"
- In the display tab set graphics controller to "vboxvga" and enable 3D hardware acceleration
The "Android" screen should appears under one minute after the message ANDROID root@x86:/ # where you get stuck
