To all -
We've been able to reproduce an issue whereby 10.6.8 images deployed using Casper Imaging (8.22) from a 10.7.1 (Build 11B2118) NetBoot set are consistently creating invalid OS installs only when deploying 10.6.8 images, Lion images work fine. We create our own base installs, so this is not coming from the OS install process from a retail disc.
My hunch is that this is somehow connected to the formatting of the HD from the Lion netboot.
The result is machines that will pass POST, but never hand off over to the OS, just staying at the grey Apple logo.
If anyone can either reproduce, or have other findings, I would very much appreciate reading about your experiences.
I've put in a call to my JAMF rep, and here at Duke we are working on understanding the nature of the problem.
Thank you,
