1. Show me the definition of node by 'lsdef n01', and make sure the 'netboot=pxe'. And you also can set the 'netboot=xnba' and to see there is 'server.filename' keyword in the dhcpd.leases file for the n01 node.
2. Check the 'inet addr:10.1.11.254 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0' 4. You can try the 'updatenode n01 -F -V' to get verbose information. You should get message 'Internal call command: xdcp -F /install/custom/install/rh/centos6.1-x86_64-install-compute.synclist'. If yes, you need to check the entries in the synclist.

Could you check the interfaces from 'ifconfig -a'? 3. I should not be caused by xCAT. You can control it by yourself. 4. If you'd like to use the osimage to specify the synclist configuration file, you need to run the 'nodeset node osimage= centos6.1-x86_64-install-compute' to specify the osimage for the node to install.

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.
