Running OS X Mavericks under QEMU with KVM

given that a lot of the work presented here was not "preliminary work that was adapted", but actually entirely made by him and copy and pasted by you, I think you could at least do him the courtesy of linking his site[1] and his work somewhere in the first sentence instead of a side note in the closing statement.

Adapting his work in my opinion is not copy and pasting his work and adding a line or two in the middle. Making a simple enough script that runs the whole thing from start to finish for example would be a nice adaptation that I am sure he and many other people would appreciate.

Maybe the choice of your wording and the structure of your post is a bit unfortunate. If so, consider editing it.

edit: sorry, if i came across harsh, in the tiny little world in my head the one thing engineers care about/enjoy(but don't expect) after an accomplishment is praise and credit.

I was aware of this when posting. I am very thankful for that information and everyone who contributed to KVM, KVM-KMOD and QEMU repositories. I have moved the credit to the top of article.

This was more as a reference and a quick guide (also because I couldn't achieve Mavericks via his research and therefore I have added it here).

Thanks anyway.

You do know this violates the EULA for OSX?

No OSX version allows for virtualizing it as a guest VM.

(just pointing it out)

As long as it is Apple hardware, as defined by[1], then it can be run, virtualized or not. KVM runs on an OS X host and therefore this is totally acceptable.

I find it humerus that getting osx to run in a controlled environment, useful for testing simulation etc takes more hacking and more work than any Linux distro ever did, even in the early days.

Despite this Mac people insists getting Linux to work is "hard" when it mostly works out of the box on any hardware. Amazing.
