Strange Rev 200 InstaDMG issue

[dead2sin]

I tried to use Rev 200 of InstaDMG (I read it was a candidate for release 1.5..I also tried the latest version and got the same exact issue) and I can’t even build a regular non-updated image with it. I am using InstaUp2Date and I get the following error:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like your base image is read/write. The second line in your log is it failing to checksum the base image (and then not mounting it). At this point the image must be read-only (a safety precaution). You did find a bug in that the process should have stopped cold at that point. I have just checked in a bug-fix for that (rev210).

Sounds good. My Mac OS X Install DVD image is a DVD/CD Master, which as far as I know is read only. I used the same exact image with version 1.4b4. Is it a change in the newer code where it checks for read-only before proceeding?

Thanks,
