Anyone emulating chrome os with VirtualBox. I added the hd image and made in SATA. When I run the vm it loads and screen goes black.
I am running it on a asus eeepc 904HA
1.6Ghz atom
1GB RAM
intel GMA 950 (I think this is what is causing the problem)

before anyone replies: I am not going to download vmware.

Had the same problem but VirtualBox is also able to open the vmware disk image so download that and you should be good to go.
Edited to add that your eeepc spec is a bit low for any sort of Virtual work but good luck!

I just used the VMDK (Vmware image) with VirtualBox and everything worked pretty well; I tried changing settings but the VirtualBox image never worked for me either.

thanks, medwyn would you mind giving more details on which settings you used.

Same here Vdi image gives black screen but vdmk is working well

Not working for me either, pretty frustrating.

Used the guide at TechCrunch ( http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/19/guide-install-googl
e-chrome-os/ ), but still didn't work :\

i just downloaded ChromeOS (virtual box imgage), any tips on making the installation successful before I begin?

sorry, I was just being impatient and didnt realise that the os has no splash screen.

VirtualBox image is just giving me a black screen too. At least the VMWare image works in VirtualBox.

I used the VMWare image for virtual box, and it worked. vitualbox image gave me a black screen like others have mentioned.

I can't add the chrome-os-0.4.22.8-gdgt.vmdk file in media manager

Like most people here the virtual box version didnt work, the vmware version in virtual box works.

Virtual Box in MAC Snow Leopard. Chromium boots up but no network connection.

Have tried many combinations of network adapter and bridged and NAT mode still no joy. Using 24inch IMAC Duo Core


I will wait a little longer until someone out there with similar hardware show me how its done.

Doesn't work for me either. Tried all possible combinations for Network. Not able to connect to the internet. :(

The “Network not connected and offline login fail” problem seems to be affecting all platforms and it's behaviour is random; and the fixes are random too. I originally ran the VMWare image on Virtualbox and it worked. I thought this is a bit slow, maybe it's quicker running on VMWare, so I installed VMWare Player and ran the VMWare image, it didn't work. I downloaded the VDI image and ran on the Virtualbox, it didn't work. So it was back to the VMWare image running on Virtualbox, couldn't login. The only way I can login is using the cronos login with the password "password". As soon as you log in you can log into your gmail account using the network connection, so the network connection is working. Tried all the suggestions other people have made about bridged networking, changing the network adapter type, and waiting for 10 seconds, 10 minutes etc but all to no avail.
