OS Build Plan - ESXi 6.0 fails with "User-supplied %post script failed . (Error code 256)

[woby]

I am facing an error deploying an esxi6 hp custom image (builds 3073146,3380124) using the builtin os deployment plan. The error message is "User-supplied %post script failed. (Error code 256)"

Everything looks good until the point where the post section of the kickstart file is processed. I completely removed the post section from the kickstart file and still get the same error. So i logged in via the console and noticed that another post section is created by the deployment process. Interestingly the generated commands dont´t generate an error.

Does anybody else experience the same behaviour?

Regards

Installing HP custom image ESXi 55.u3 build 3029944 and ESXi 6.0.0 U1b build 2494525 is no problem. So the problem seems to be related to HP custom and native ESXi 6.0.0 U1b

This worked for me, however, you need an extra underscore in the second option

@__OPSW-Media-LinURI@/esxi60u1a

or @_OPSW-Media-LinURI@/esxi60u1b
