[xcat-user] wget from wrong server during netboot

2013-01-21 Thread Andrew Klaassen
I'm trying a netboot install for the first time, after having a working xCAT installation for quite some time. We use a central DNS and DHCP server on another subnet, at 10.101.1.11. The master xCAT server is at 10.101.4.3. The netboot progresses to the point where it's running the following co

Hi all, I've given up on SL6 for now and am installing FC13 via xCAT. I'm running into indefinite hangs if I put otherpkgs into postbootscripts. The only way I've found to get around this is to manually run "updatenode [nodes] ospkgs; updatenode [nodes] otherpkgs" manually after reboot. What
