Yosemite Failed to Install

Trying to get away from monolith images for users and use the Apple OS installer, along with profiles, scripts and the needed packages. (Plus my monolith image didn't work on the 5k iMac at all, or retina MacBooks very well).

I've pulled the Apple Yosemite installer a couple of times, added the InstallESD.dmg and indicated it's a OS installer, priority 1 on Casper 9.61, and every time the Apple installer fails when running imaging 9.61 from a 10.10.2 Netboot. (please ignore the last log line, we were experimenting with pushing out a user template folder, won't be doing that in production).

Am testing using a USB/Firewire boot to image from, but anyone had problems with Yosemite failling to install like this...

I would look into using AutoDMG to make your base OS image and then using that file through Casper Imaging/Munki/etc to image your Macs.

It makes a vanilla OS installation dmg and will also add updates since that Apple installer was released (iTunes, Security Updates, etc), and bake them into the final OS dmg. Check it out.

is this the symptom of single system or is it the same result across multiple systems?

@perrycj Building the AutoDMG tonight, will try installing tomorrow. Seen the videos, but just thought it'd be simple to add the Apple installer to run a configuration rather than building a DMG of it.

@htse Replicated on late 2014 MacMini, 2010 MacBookPro. Spoke to @pvader today who had similar issue when using netboot not sure which hardware, but he had no problem when using booted USB stick to run Casper Imaging. Building my Yosemite boot disk tonight also to test tomorrow.

I like my netboot setup, hence my efforts for netboot; I have full casper suite, but also Drive Genius, Carbon Copy, Disk Drill and a few other tools. My own little Apple Hardware test and data recovery tools.

does /var/log/install.log give any further detail than the console output?

If I use AutoDMG to build on a never-been-booted OS on a MacBookPro 9,1 per say, is the the final output made specifically for that machine's model or does it make a 'universal' never-been-booted image?

For quite sometime, I've been using Apple Installers off a bootable OS X Installer USB stick. Which I am quite happy with the outcome and have very little issues. I am under the impression that Apple OS installers are Universal. Am I correct in this?

Thanks as always!

@markkenny cool, hope it works for you.

@pvader Yes, it creates a universal OS image for whatever hardware will support it. It doesn't matter what hardware you make it on, as it uses the Apple installer from the App Store as its base.

Would have done testing quicker if I remembered to de-select Erase target drive after running OS installs ;-)

I can use use Casper Imaging to install OS X from the InstallESD when booted from a separate bootable hard drive. The same installation when running from Netboot fails. But a AutoDMGd OS installs fine.

@pvader Tried testing how 'vanilla' the AutoDMGd image was, did a full OS install without a user, so I couldn't login ;-) Reboot back into imaging and pushed users and apps and scripts.

Need to work on user profile; icloud blocking, bash shells etc. But I'm in a much better place than I was yesterday. Thank you gents.

@htse Here's the other logs, it's missing BaseSystemResources.pkg. Not sure why.

In case you want to stick with traditional installs of OS X I would definitely recommend createOSXinstallpkg. It works really well.

I've got a blog dissecting our first boot script and using config profiles to replace a lot of the first boot script stuff if its of any use:
