Windows – How to run Android-x86 4.2 ISO on VM VirtualBox

androidiso-imagevirtualboxwindows 7

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!

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.

Most vm software don't expose the full range of physical hardware to your VM, as Eli says, and in the case of wireless networking you have a 'bridged' connection, which in effect emulates an ethernet connection between your host and guest. One workaround that i found is, rather than using the built in (mini pci-e) based wireless, is to use a usb based wireless device, which can be passed through to the VM.

In VB, try changing NAT connection settings to:

AMD PCNet FAST III

The Intel settings don't ever work for me.

To change it:

Select the Virtual Machine from the list.
Click the gear icon labeled Settings.
In the window that opened, select the tab Network.
Make sure adapter one is enabled by ticking the box at the top.
At the drop down menu Attached to, select NAT.
Click the small blue arrow with the label Advanced if not already done.
Change the Adapter Type to AMD PCNet FAST III (Am79C973)
Hit Okay and run the virtual machine again.
