Testing an osx86 installation
January 04, 2009
So I’ve been working on new osx86 installations and things are looking good, but are they? Here is a list of tests I need to perform to ensure things really are good
GetHostUUIDString: unable to determine UUID for host. Error: 35
Look for these messages using console
After installing plist edit pro run the following command in terminal to see if it generates an error 35
pledit /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
USB Hot Plug
Plugin USB stick into front USB ports and see if it mounts in Finder
Clean Restart
Do a restart, see if machine goes cleanly back to bios, and if it does it quickly.
Time Machine
Choose a disk for time machine successfully
SATA Hot Plug
Plug in one of my external sata drives see that it mounts in Finder
