[Casper] Casper Imaging Errors

[Thomas Larkin]

I have a first run script that wipes out all partitions, and I suggest everyone does this, since the erase drive option only formats and doesn't lay down a new partition. 

Also, make sure your passwords are correct for all your accounts, because if I recall, when I saw that problem it was due to me changing a password and the accounts didn't match so they couldn't authenticate. 

FYI

That sound like me, it fails at the first run script, the bind etc , plus the adobe, all od which I need, but it's random and only about 5% of the time, 



I'm only fix was a boot from DVD and disk erase

Luckily (I think) it seems to lay down 99% of the image... it just sort of skips the bind to OD, name, and a few minor scripts I run at the end.. Annoying but not a show stopper.  It would be interesting if its failing at different points in the process for different people's builds.

Yea I see at the end when it's creating the first run script 



The only thing I could do was boot from DVD and erase the hard disk

I have a ticket open for the "NilObjectException was not handled"  error, I am only seeing it at the very end of the install.. seemingly as Imaging is creating the login hooks  



I am only seeing this error on PPC machines.

I am seeing a some errors with Casper Imaging v7, that have just cropped up in the last few hours, and I am at a loss on how to resolve them... 



When netbooting a machine with a Casper NetInstall image, Casper Imaging opens and one of two things happens... 



I go thru Casper Imaging, select my options, and when I select an Install Configuration, I immediately get the following error message: 
  

An excetption of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down. 
  

I hit 
  

OK, I am dropped into a Terminal window, I need to restart, and I get the same error the next time I go into Casper Imaging.

If that doesn't happen, as soon a the NetInstall imagine loads, and Casper Imaging launches, I get an 
  

Error parsing xml for Autorun 
  

message. And again, upon hitting 
  

OK, I am dropped into a Terminal window and need to restart.

I have tried everything I can think of...so I am wondering if anyone has seen this issue or experienced this issues, or just has any ideas... 



Thanks, 

Steve
