I installed a copy of Snow Leopard on a virtual drive in a Windows 7 host. It has been working fairly well in the past few days. I decided to install the updates for OS X and now it is stuck at the gray Apple loading screen.
Is there a way to fix this? If not, how can I revert back?
Installing and running OS X in a virtual machine requires a patched kernel. System update will replace that PC/Virtualbox bootable kernel with a stock OS X kernel from Apple. The kernel from Apple will only boot on Apple hardware.
FYi: Running OS X in a virtual machine or on any thing but a Mac is against the Apple OS X software license.
See this post here:

And this post about the license:
