https://github.com/siemens/runMacOSinVirtualBox step 4 fails #75

Closed virtualbox closed 4 years ago

virtualbox commented 5 years ago

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://github.com/siemens/runMacOSinVirtualBox
  2. perform steps up to installing the OS at step 4.
  3. Over 10000 errors in Log before accept licence agreement. Continue anyway and after a few minutes of activity, install fails and system unexpectedly reboots
  4. Repeat. No way to progress. Screenshot 2019-07-01 at 21 49 34

Expected behavior I expected the install to complete. Instead Mojave has 6GB of partial install stuff and no bootable OS.

Additional context Log files trapped inside a partial install so not easily accessible

Thanks for the feedback. This is a tough one. Hard to say, my best guess is that the generate VDI file is somehow broken - not sure how and why though as ìt works for me. My approach would be to debug the method createVM to see if there is something of interest. Maybe the VDI file is created on a network drive?
