I had success with Gabriel's description for running Mavericks and tried the same approach with Yosemite: It didn't work in the same way. Somlo already did great work for running Mac OSX on KVM (see ) but didn't cover Yosemite so far.Īndrei Ostanin also wrote a nice post on how to run Mac OSX Mavericks on KVM (see ).

Update : I was able to run Yosemite after switching to QEMU 2.3 and Chimera 4.1.
