I try to start OS X 10.6.8, it fails during boot. I'm using a Macbook Pro 15-inc, Late 2008 (MacBookPro5,1) with OS X 10.8.2 VirtualBox 4.2.1 is installed. I switched from VirtualBox 4.2.12 to 4.1.26 because I read on line that 4.1.26 worked for installation of 10.6 Server but 4.2.12 did not. I am trying to install it on VirtualBox 4.1.26 that is running on Mac OS 10.8. I have a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server.

I am running Mac OS 10.6.8 on my imac (intel processor 3 gh with 12 gig of memory and 1 TB hard drive) and I need to upgrade to 10.11.5 because of the new Windows system installed with in the company.
