    Same issue with 443, but my image ends up at 1.47GB when running the unmodified 10.7 catalog file. Restored to an external drive and it KPs each time I try to boot from it. Logs are here:

    I’m doing another run now with all updates commented out to see if anything changes.

    UPDATE: I’ve commented out all updates in an attempt to just focus on using the InstallESD.dmg installer for a 10.7.0 base image. I now get a 566KB image file. I think my issue lies with the InstallESD.dmg installer.

    That worked. I was able to keep my installer image, but that choices file worked. I added the Languages line since I don’t need those in my image. Thanks again.

    I’m struggling with this as well. I’m using 1.6b1 of instadmg as well as the provided 10.6_vanilla.catalog file to build an image. When I drop my installerchoices.xml file in with my base OS DVD image, the process only takes 8 minutes and I end up with a non-functioning, 835MB image. Here are the contents of my installerchoices file:

    I’ve also cleared out the cached base OS image so that it creates a new one. I saw this in the output. Notice that it only takes 17 seconds on my Mac Pro to run the installer based on the installerchoices file:

    Any tips on the proper formatting or syntax of this xml file for v1.6b1?
