I suspect that the old xcatd is still running on your mn. You must
manually kill them and restart xcatd.
#ps -ef |grep xcatd
root 22434 1 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 xcatd: SSL listener
root 22435 22434 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 xcatd: DB Access
root 22436 22434 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 xcatd: UDP listener
root 22437 22434 0 Nov08 ? 00:00:00 xcatd: install monitor
You need to kill these 4 processes (#kill -9), then
#service xcatd restart
Then try genimage again.

isnot recognized
I have upgraded, carefully, to 2.6.8 hoping to clear up any issues. The
upgrade appeared to go well and everything seems to be functioning except
genimage which now gives the following output:
[root@master3 ~]# which genimage
/opt/xcat/bin/genimage
[root@master3 ~]# genimage -i eth0 -n 8021q,dca,igb,squashfs,aufs,loop -o
centos5.6 -p compute_cent56
OS: centos5.6
Profile: compute_cent56
Interface: eth0
Generating image:
Error: Unsupported request
I suspect there is somewhere that xcat is not liking the way genimage is
talking to it but I have found no help for this issue in my searches so
far. It reports the same regardless of what options are given and the same
even if an existing image is chosen to be regenerated.

2.3.1 is no longer supported. I would suggest you migrate to the current
release 2.6.8 for support.

I'm not sure if this will be of use, but I remember we were having similar
problems (I think I've posted a thread or two detailing this).
What we actually did was modify the genimage command:
$ diff genimage genimage.2011-06-22
980,981c980
< netstart
< #netstart \$IFACE
- ---
> netstart \$IFACE

< print $inifile "network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp\n"; #must not
use env, doesn't work in older RH
< #print $inifile "network --device \${1} --bootproto dhcp\n"; #must
not
use env, doesn't work in older RH
- ---
> print $inifile "network --device \${1} --bootproto dhcp\n"; #must not
use env, doesn't work in older RH
For whatever reason, the network interface name wasn't getting set. If I
recall, the print $inifile line was the one biting us, but that was awhile
ago.
After you make those changes and re generate the initrd, the interface
should be manually set. Your driver line from genimage looks fine, and
it's
the same hardware type and os version we're using.
If I remember, this issue (as alluded to in Mark's post) was fixed in a
later xCAT version.
My head's a little cloudy though...
Good luck.
