The way I solved similar problems in my environment is a such.
As long as the disk on your new machine is bigger than the disk in your
original image you have no problem, as soon as you try to restore a
system to a machine with a smaller disk the autoinstal script tries to
create partitions beyond the end of the disk.
Given that, in my situation, not all of the disk is being used and the
last partition is mostly empty I patched my master scripts so that
the do a check
if $END_MB > $DISKSIZE then $END_MB = $DISKSIZE.
I do this only for the extended and the last partitions of my disks.
So far I did not run in to problems. Maybe this is something that could
be included in the default scripts.
