Is this happening with the latest version of SIU, part of the 10.6.2 Server Admin Tools? In any case, I would post this to the MacEnterprise mailing list. If you’re not a member, you can sign up here: http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=macenterprise&A=1

I’m getting failures on the PostInstall attempts on either the 10.6.1 update or the 10.6.2 combo. The SIU adds the package to the OSInstall.collection, when the OS Installer gets to the 10.6.x update package, it logs in the install.log (OSInstaller: Failed install preflight: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=102 “The package “MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.2.pkg” is untrusted.”) then gives an underlying error “CSSMERR_TP_NOT_TRUSTED”

Looking at the rc.install script on the NetInstall image, it looks like the version of SIU that I’m using might have recently changed the way it sets up customized NetImage Installs to use OS Installer, but the OS Installer doesn’t seem to trust Apple’s 10.6 update packages.

Any suggestions?

Hi. I got:

MacBookPro3,1
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
Mac OS X 10.6.2

I did

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot ‘Kernel Flags’ ‘arch=x86_64′

and when checking System Software Overview, the 64-bit Kernel and Extensions says No. ¿any ideas?

also when typing nvram -p in Terminal, I get boot-args arch=x86_64

It sounds like you have a general netboot problem. Are you sure you enabled the netboot image on your server? Check out Mike Bombich’s netboot troubleshooting page: http://www.bombich.com/mactips/netboot.html

The Mac Pro from End 2006 returns 32, and can’t get it to 64.
Snow Leopard runs fine on it of course.

The iMac 24″ from Early 2009 returns 64, and boots fine in 64.
And Snow Leopard runs fine on it too.

Powerbook from End 2005 of course won’t run Snow Leopard at all.

That’s my experience.

Thanks for this article!

Sure. Just launch Font Book as root.

sudo /Applications/Font\ Book.app/Contents/MacOS/Font\ Book
