Apple Remote on Netboot clients

[betaglitch]

Hi All

I’ve come across a problems with a netboot client image. I have created a setup on an external USB disk, I have everything setup correctly and it works fine if you boot any of the 5 machines from this disk.
I then used system imaging tool to create a netboot image, which boots absolutely fine, all my setup works fine, but randomly the IR port doesn’t seem to work.

It shows up in USB under system profiler, but the AppleIRController kext isn’t loaded. If I load it manually, still no joy, and it will eventually unload itself (without an error to system log seemingly). Again this doesn’t happen if I boot from the USB drive.

I’ve also recreated the Netboot image from the drive several times incase it’s an image corruption issue.

This is a clean install of 10.5.3 server, and the image is 10.5.3 client, with a few tweaks in setup.

Unfortunately, getting the Apple remote to work is an integral part of the system I am trying to setup.

Anybody have any ideas?

thanks
