System Image Utility creating bad images?

hey there,

Running a test server on a G5, dual 1. GHz, with OS 10.4.11.

I set up netboot and created a netinstall image from an Intel Imac running 10.4.7. as a test. I was able to install the image no problem to another machine.

I updated the same Imac to 10.4.11, created another netinstall set using System Image Utility. I am able to see the image on a target computer, am able to begin the installation process, all the initial screens through the “install” button. There is a momentary glimpse of the install progress indicator, and the I am told the image has finished installing, please restart.

The image never gets copied, it just dies. I know the configuration works, as I have served and installed both Intel and PPc images from the same server.

I have been using Netrestore to create master images of the images I want to create netinstall sets from, and have been using an external drive to park them on the server, then to System Image Utility…

Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks

Phil
