Not able to create a 10.5 vanilla image

[Bob Dronski]

Hi there,

This has been driving me nuts. I'm trying to do a build of a 10.5 vanilla image from the current version of InstaDMG on a computer running 10.5.8. I started clean with an svn checkout, mounted the install disk dmg (Master directly from Apple) and successfully ran importDisk.py. I then tried to run

sudo ./instadmg/AddOns/InstaUp2Date/instaUp2Date.py 10.5_vanilla --process

and it processed some, but I am consistently getting the following errors.

I thought there was an issue before with extra volumes mounted, so I unmounted the Leopard DMG, as well as a second partition I have on the hard drive. No change. I've placed /InstaDMG on the desktop as well as at the root, no difference.

What am I missing?

TIA,
Bob Dronski

I've never tried InstaDMG on anything older than 10.6. Have you considered checking out an older version of InstaDMG that might be more compatible with 10.5.x?

[Bob Dronski]

That would be a clever thing to try. So obviously not! ;-)

I was pretty sure Karl has documented that the current will work on 10.5, but I may try an older version anyway and report back.

Thanks,
Bob
