gadgetsboyj Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I have 2 hackintoshes running 10.6.3, a desktop and a laptop. The desktop has a patched 10.6 kernel on it to allow it to boot with a Pentium D. The laptop is running a vanilla 10.6.3 kernel. Not sure if that'll help. So here's the problem. I set up the desktop to use Time Machine a while ago with my Time Capsule. It works fine. I then got Snow Leopard running on my laptop and when backing it up, Time Machine treats it as if it's the same as the desktop. In the Sparse Image, there is Backups.backupdb and inside that it says Justin Clifford's Mac Pro. That's the sharing name of the desktop. In the "Latest" folder is "Snow Leopard HD" which is my desktop's Snow hard drive. That's fine. When backing up with my laptop, it renames Justin Clifford's Mac Pro to Justin Clifford's MacBook Pro and inside of the "Latest" folder is "Macintosh HD" the hard drive of my laptop. Is this a hackintosh problem or an Apple problem? I already tried deleting com.apple.TimeMachine from /Library/Preferences on that laptop and that didn't fix it. Anybody know what's wrong?

Can't you just partition the Time Capsule to have 2 partitions 1 for the desktop 1 for the laptop.I use a 1tb usb drive split in 4 ,1 for my imac,1 for my macbook pro,1 for my toshiba hack,and 1 for my acer hack. edit: I guess to partition Time Capsule you would have to take the drive out of case first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather not have to deal with partitions because I use it to store a lot more than Time Machine backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgetsboyj Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 AHA! Changed the UUID in PlatformUUID.kext to my real one on the laptop and that solved it. It's split into 2 folders now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
