Hi all,
I'm having a very strange issue - can't get any node to deploy an OS - either an install profile (diskfull installation) or shell.

The setup - A single management node and several x3550 M3 compute nodes.
All nodes accessible via ipmi/bmc (asu is also working correctly) - wcons is working great, MAC addresses defined correctly, dns and dhcp work correctly.
on issuing
nodeset n1 install
OR
nodeset n1 shell

and then
rpower n1 boot

the correct tftp files are deployed as far as I can tell, but then the deployment just hangs forever

I have tried setting noderes primary and install nics to blank, mac, eth0 , I have tried using either pxe or xnba - all produce the same result:
for pxe - nothing is done (initial tftp transfer ok, no further files transfered)
for xnba - from /var/log/httpd/access_log:
10.5.4.1 - - [24/Jun/2012:11:20:29 +0300] "GET /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/n1 HTTP/1.1" 200 419 "-" "iPXE/1.0.3-7"
10.5.4.1 - - [24/Jun/2012:11:20:29 +0300] "GET /tftpboot/xcat/centos6.2/x86_64/vmlinuz HTTP/1.1" 200 3938288 "-" "iPXE/1.0.3-7"
10.5.4.1 - - [24/Jun/2012:11:20:30 +0300] "GET /tftpboot/xcat/centos6.2/x86_64/initrd.img HTTP/1.1" 200 30754349 "-" "iPXE/1.0.3-7"

and as viewd in wcons - the 3 files transfered ok.


# tabdump noderes
#node,servicenode,netboot,tftpserver,tftpdir,nfsserver,monserver,nfsdir,installnic,primarynic,discoverynics,cmdinterface,xcatmaster,current_osimage,next_osimage,nimserver,routenames,comments,disable
"compute",,"xnba","10.5.5.254",,"10.5.5.254",,,"eth0","eth0",,,"10.5.5.254",,,,,,

No matter what I tried, the deployment just hangs forever after initial files are transfered.

The same happens with nodeset n1 shell ; rpower n1 boot:
10.5.4.1 - - [24/Jun/2012:11:28:24 +0300] "GET /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/n1 HTTP/1.1" 200 308 "-" "iPXE/1.0.3-7"
