Using Self Service to run an in-place 10.8 installer results in a Kernel Panic on boot

Hi All,

Currently trying to use Scenario 2 (from https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/article.html?id=173) from a 10.7.5 client machine. All seems to work fine, but on the reboot of the installer app the machine will boot to an Apple Logo and Kernel Panic.

The installer app is cached locally first and the executable within launched from Self service using the settings above.
If the installer app is launched manually (although requiring local admin authorisation) it will work fine - ruling out a bad installer.

Any ideas / assistance please?

Darren

Fixed it.

We run a second partition for the Users folder and symlinked this from it's normal location. Copying the direct path from the instructions launched the App but somehow messed up the EFI booter.

Changed the path to "/Volumes/Users/Shared/...." worked.
