I’m wondering if anyone else is having problems with their PrefPanes, specifically “Desktop and Screen Saver”, “Spotlight” and “Energy Saver”. I am building a Leopard image and didn’t notice the problem until I tried going into the “Energy Saver” pane to check if my pmset was working. It gives me a “Could not load (insert perf name) preference pane” error each time I start either of those three. I ran InstaDMG without any updates and it works just fine. But when I include Apple Updates with it then I get the errors. At this point I also have left out my custom packages. I’m in the process of trying to narrow down which update is making it not happy. Anyone already run into this problem?
Known issue. Apple’s postflight script does some bad things. You can install them at first startup of a freshly imaged machine without concern.
I thought the issue was limited to iLife Support 8.2.

Sorry for the short reply earlier.
The iLife Support 8.2 is the culprit for the pref panes.
The other Apple update to avoid is the LeopardGraphicsUpdate.
It causes problems with NetRestore
If you create your netboot set with LeopardGraphicsUpdate there are some G4 models that with kernal panic.
So I don’t include it in any of my images. I run Software update as part of my post image procedures anyway.> If you create your netboot set with LeopardGraphicsUpdate there are some G4 models that with kernal panic.
Not to drag this off-topic, but would one of the models be a dual 450MHz G4 (a.k.a. Powermac3,3, as noted in the NetBoot kernel panic)? We’ve had to preserve our Tiger Utility NetBoot image because the lowest-end PPC Macs won’t boot from it. If I could ditch the Tiger NBI, I’d be in hog heaven.
