CPU-simulation in VirtualBox leads to Kernelpanic in Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 guest's AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement Kernel Extension when more than one core is enabled

Description
The CPU-simmulation in VirtualBox leads to a Kernelpanic in Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 guest's AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement Kernel Extension when more than one core is enabled. This seems to be specific for 10.6 because it works in 10.9 without flaws. 10.6 supports multiple core without any problem on bare metal so this is an issue with virtual box, specifically the power management part of the simulated CPU (invalid opcode). See attached screen shots and VBox.log

The panic still occurs with VBox 5.1.4. See attached screenshot.

The current screenshot says something about an invalid opcode. Please have a look!

There are a lot of incompatibilities with different versions of OSX and VirutalBox, including the number of CPUs. That's why I felt the need some time ago to document all that. Take a look at the forum thread Status of OSX on OSX (shameless plug) and you'll see a lot of failures. You'll have to get it ... just right to make it work. The worst culprit is AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.

I forgot to add that I'm going to be testing 5.1.4 which seems stable enough to test the whole gamut of OSX clients. Maybe the solution/fix is the same as is #13118 which I may have to re-open (hope not).

No activity for over 4 years and VirtualBox 6.1 has improved macOS guest support. Closing as obsolete, please reopen if still an issue.
