The install failed.

[jajir]

Hello,

I have problem to run installinstallmacos.py. I see that this mac is not correctly identified. I have MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016). I report below is MacBookPro13 which is i think different model. At the end whole installation fails. From log I can't say why.

Here is my console log:

Jans-MBP-2:macadmin-scripts jan$ sudo ./installinstallmacos.py --workdir ~/Downloads/macosx/ --version 11.2.3

Hi, I don't know about the incorrect identification, but please do not use your Downloads folder as the working directory. See the README for why.

Thanks for quick reply. It works. I have installation image. During next stage of creating image I had not enough space on disk. It fails during execution of /usr/bin/hdiutil with non-zero exit status. But I figured it out. Thanks for this tool.
