Add High Sierra support to prepare_iso.sh #97

americanhanko · 2018-03-14T22:53:26Z

This PR

adds support for High Sierra to prepare_iso.sh
Removes some whitespace, converts tabs to spaces
A few minor changes suggested by shellcheck
Sets checksum values to "none" since Packer warns if there is no checksum or checksum type specified

Why

Even though we can't install unsigned packages on anything beyond 10.12.3, I think having this script support High Sierra is still useful.

For what it's worth I used this PR yesterday to build an iso with High Sierra 👍 . Might be nice to verify against an older OS version.

tzeejay · 2018-03-22T14:19:48Z

@americanhanko Do I get it right that this is just "make this script understand the changes in the High Sierra" installer but outputs a non-bootable iso, because of the signing mess?

tzeejay · 2018-03-22T14:20:15Z

If yes, I just got a little excited.

Thanks for you work anyways. Would like to see this merged

Hi everyone!
Any updates here?
Do you consider merging this PR?

Same issue here with 10.14.2.

No Idea how to fix this.

I played with the USB -> xhci and the mouse to be USB.

itstehkman · 2018-12-24T01:00:20Z

@timsutton @americanhanko @tzeejay any updates on this PR? I am glad to help and review or make some PRs! think this is also a necessary patch in order to support Mojave as well (#99)

Can confirm that I am running into the same issue of waiting for SSH that @camilamacedo86 ran into, looking at the code to think about why that could be. Maybe the prepare_iso/support/pkg-postinstalll script doesnt setup sshd correctly for High Sierra, and maybe it is related to this comment about shadowhash not being interpreted correctly in High Sierra #82 (comment)

jfpanisset · 2019-04-06T23:53:45Z

Starting with 10.14/Mojave BaseSystem.dmg mounts as /Volumes/macOS Base System rather than /Volumes/OS X Base System
