I didn't actually move the file, I ran it with the -o flag:
Code: Select all
bash InstallerApp2ISO.sh -i 'Install OS X El Capitan.app' -o ~/Downloads/elcap
(I know keeping things in Downloads is weird, please don't judge). I did rename the file 10.11.iso to elcap.iso: I have an easier time with Mac OS codenames than numbers (specifically, when I'm told by my product manager "test this on El Capitan" and the "Install OS X El Capitan" app bundle also has the codename rather than the number it's easier not to have to look for a matching ISO with a number). I'll attach a new log file from an iso I didn't rename (or move, but you'll see it's still in a Downloads subdirectory).

Yes, I did run the script with a proper installer from Apple. It's 10.11, not 10.11.6, but yes, it's a real installer from Apple. I'll ask around whether anyone else has successfully used this installer... we moved our installers from an in house server to cloud storage recently, it's possible it got corrupted. When I mounted the elcap.iso I created on a 10.10 VM it seemed to think it was a real installer, but since I didn't actually try to boot with it... I don't know.
EDIT: I found the
installer checksums you had linked on
this thread (thanks!) and verified the checksum for the InstallESD.dmg image inside my installer, it's fine.
I'm wondering if the problem is actually my host hardware that's the problem? I guess my MacBook probably had 10.12 installed when I got it. This seems unlikely, though, given that I managed to install 10.6, 10.8, 10.9, and 10.10 VMs without so much trouble.
Thanks for your help, anyway.
