It's pretty straightforward, but there are some gotchas, particularly in the differences between RHEL5 & 6 kickstart templates.
Thanks for all the pointers. I've successfully loaded RHEL 6 and created a working kickstart template. Unfortunately the post-install seems to have problems and I'm stuck trying to figure out exactly why. After the linux installation completes the server reboots as expected and the post-install process begins. But the system hangs during the subsequent bootup with the last message displayed being:
./otherpkgs: no extra rpms to installSo as a test I removed otherpkgs from the xcatdefaults entry in the postscripts table and performed a re-install. It still hangs during the bootup sequence for some reason. If I hook up a console to the test node I can reboot it no problem and start it up in single user mode. I see the xcatinstallpost script is still set up in /etc/init.d, but in trying to walk through it I can't figure out what might be hanging. Any suggestions?
FYI, I'm using the most recent xCAT snapshot (xCAT-2.7.2-snap201205082311). -Bruce
