Unibeast freezes at Running Package Scripts

Unibeast hangs on "running package scripts"

Unibeast hangs on "running package scripts" and it's been about an hour and half at this point. It says that I only have about a minute remaining but nothing is happening. I have tried a few other methods like trying to install Snow Leopard first then upgrading to Lion but that didn't workout as I couldn't get Snow to install either. I am using the Unibeast + Lion on the USB method on and Ivy Bridge system and this is my first time build but so far it's been very frustrating as nothing is working as expected. I might have to accept that I'm going to just have a nice Windows machine.

Same issue, possible fix

I had the same issue...

It turns out that might USB thumbdrive literally died (it is not even recognizable now).

I used a external WD usb drive and it installed fine.

Try a different drive, perform a clean partition on it, and see if that helps.

When making my USB drive, Unibeast hangs at running package scripts and I can not work out why.... time has gone up to 6+ hours but I stopped it as the thumb drive was really heating up.

There is an Apple thread where people are complaining about terrible USB copy speeds (160KB/sec) in general... maybe this is the cause? There is some implication it has to do with bad handling of USB drive Sleep.

My UniBeast USB build took 45 minutes.

tailing /var/log/install.log made it easier to be patient..
