Hi all,

Just installed a new mini cluster (SuperMicro HW , CentOS x64 6.1 , xcat 2.6.10 , diskfull install) and ran into a few issues.
1. PXE. noderes.netboot is set to pxe, yet makedhcp only configures xnba. In /var/log/messages atftpd is trying to push xcat/xnba instead of pxelinux.0.
Had to manually change the two filename statements (in if option client-architecture = 00:00 and in if option vendor-class-identifier = "Etherboot-5.4") to "/pxelinux.0". (nodeset is working correctly, creating the correct symlinks in pxelinux.cfg)
2. makedhcp -n creates an additional wrong zone
the networks table has private network aet to 10.1.10.0/24, but makedhcp -n creates two zones - 10.1.10.0/24 and 10.0.0.0/8. Remove that one too, while I made the changes to filename.

after these too changes the installation finished with almost no issues. The following still unresolved:
3. After every reboot (including at end of install) the new node delays with message
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable) ....

I know I can disable it with kcmdline edd=off, but was wandering why this happens, and if ignoring it is the best solution.

4. updatenode -F doesn't synclist.
I used
chdef -t osimage -o centos6.1-x86_64-install-compute synclists="/install/custom/install/centos/centos6.1-x86_64-install-compute.synclist"
and confirmed it with
lsdef node01 --osimage

none of the files in the synclist file is copied to the target.

I Will appreciate  any help
Thanks
