Tiger PPC problems

I'm having problems with completed restores on Tiger PPC's. The log files look good but many apps just bounce and will not open. Here's my procedure: Test computers are 1GHz eMac's 1. Installed Tiger from retail DVD 2. Ran software updates to get the correct order 3. Downloaded updates from Apple's site 4. Installed iWork 08 5. Repeated steps 2 & 3 6. Installed iLife 08 7. Repeated steps 2 & 3 Here's the pkg.log file to show the order: Beginning Update Installs from ./AppleUpdates Installed ./AppleUpdates/01/Java131and142Release2.pkg Installed ./AppleUpdates/02/iTunes.mpkg Installed ./AppleUpdates/03/MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11PPC.pkg Installed ./AppleUpdates/04/J2SE50Release4.pkg Installed ./AppleUpdates/05/QuickTime745_Tiger.pkg Installed ./AppleUpdates/06/Safari311UpdPPC.pkg Installed ./AppleUpdates/07/SecUpd2008-003PPC.pkg Installed ./AppleUpdates/08/JavaForMacOSX10.4Release5.pkg Installed ./AppleUpdates/09/JavaForMacOSX10.4Release6.pkg Beginning Update Installs from ./CustomPKG Installed ./CustomPKG/01/iWork08.mpkg Installed ./CustomPKG/02/iLifeSupport.mpkg Installed ./CustomPKG/03/Keynote_402.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/04/Pages_302.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/05/Numbers_102.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/06/Keynote_403.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/07/createUser.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/08/iLife '08.mpkg Installed ./CustomPKG/09/iDVD_701.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/10/iPhoto_710.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/11/GarageBand_411.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/12/iWeb_203.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/13/GarageBand_412.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/14/iPhoto_712.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/15/RAWCamera.pkg Installed ./CustomPKG/16/iPhoto_713.pkg Using NetRestore 3.3.6 with ARD Kickstart and ClearReg Post-Restore Actions Also tried with no CustomPKG's and still have problems. Tried with no NetRestore Post-Actions and won't continue past selecting keyboard language on OS X setup. Tried three different eMac's and an iMac G5 too. Originally didn't change any settings in instadmg.bash, then changed OS_REV=0 and CPU_TYPE=0, and rem'd Intel lines from "setup and create DMG" section. Still no luck. Some questions I have: What settings MUST be changed in the instadmg.bash script? What does the ASR_TARGET_VOLUME variable in the script refer to? Do you have to run the script on the same hardware that the restore will be performed on? Has anyone successfully InstaDMG'd Tiger eMac's? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark
