Thanks Arif,
I'm using the idataplex guide from sourceforge, and `mknb x86_64` was the
missing step in the guide. It solves the problem of the discovery kernel
failing. And I got a node that register itself in the xcat management
server.
I'm continue having several problems, no other node register itself but it
runs until discovery fase. And, all nodes are getting wrong IPS (in the
desired range but, wrong). I need to read carefully the documentation to
see if it's something I misconfigured.
