Netboot Image creation for Lion Failed
I am attempting to create a netboot image using the K2000 media manager 3.4.51844 on a 10.7.3 mac, with 10.7.2 lion installation cd.
It fails at the install_packages_107 script:
calling install_packages_107 /Volumes/Mac OS X Install ESD /Volumes/kace_netboot
installer: Package name is Mac OS X
installer: Installing at base path /Volumes/kace_netboot
installer: The install failed (The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)
Does anybody know whats going on here?

It looks like it's related to this Apple cert issue:

The certificate expired on March 23. I've had success with changing the date to March 22, rebooting, and I was then able to make the Netboot KBE. You may try redownloading the Lion installer from the App Store and see if that helps, but it didn't last time I tested.

thanks, yup the cert thing seems to be the issue. - muebel 12 years ago
If you downloaded from the app store, and still have the Install Mac OS X Lion.app, make sure it is in applications, then open the app store and check for updates. Or simply hold down the option key and click purchases to re-download. This should update your media to the latest version of 10.7.3 with a new certificate so you don't have this issue.
