My computer could not be verified

[dordor2011]

Hey,

I actually want to install OS X Lion, but when I try to purchase Lion in the Mac App Store, I get an error message that my computer could not be verified. (See the picture - sorry, I'm german.)

Is anybody able to help?

Open up a terminal and type in :

open /Extra

and press Enter. then on the finder window that opens look up for com.boot.plist
then add these lines in it:

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>

reboot ...and ya...It will work.

Happened to me too. I also had to delete NetworkInterfaces.plist ,
as explained here

Yes, it works now.
Thanks a lot!

After upgrading to OS X Lion I have the problem again. And the solution that had worked to upgrade to Lion does not work now. Any other way to solve this problem?

Ok, since you already did the EthernetBuiltIn stuff, add these two lines to the same code
<key>PCIRootUID</key
<string>1</string>
Then restart the computer. If that didn't work you may need to go to Network preferences and delete all communications by going on the bottom of the left rectangle. Then restart and when you come back go to the add button next to the delete button and add two ethernet connections, one Firewire, and a Built-In Serial Adapter.

How am I able to add a Firewire connection? There is only Built-In Serial Adapter, 802.11 bg WLAN, Bluetooth-DUN, VPN, PPPoE and 6 zu 4.

For now, it does not work.

Same ... works fine now.

I did put the key:
<key>PCIRootUID</key
<string>1</string>

but after reboot my system stuck on the apple logo screen. May be someone can help me how to edit the com.apple.boot.plist, to remove the pcirootuid entry.

Thank you,
