If I'm not mistaken, you can still use 'rsetboot node net' command w/ m4 servers to get around problem 1.

Subject: [xcat-user] xnba, uefi boot and installation issue
Hello,
We're installing a M4 machine using xCAT 2.7.3 (upgraded from 2.6.9) and
xnba. OS is RH 6.2 we are facing two issues -
1. after successful installation OS uefi boot option added as the first in
the boot sequence (before the pxe). after that the node will not boot to
PXE and there is no option to re-install the node or actually do anything
that require network boot. node will always boot to the OS.
2. When installing a node we sometimes get the following error -
mounting /tmp as tmprunning install...
running /sbin/loader
detecting hardware...
waiting for hardware to initialize...
detecting hardware...
waiting for hardware to initialize...
Waiting for NetworkManager to configure eth0.
There was an error configuring your network interface.
This cannot be corrected in cmdline mode.
Halting.
Loader exited unexpectedly! Backtrace:
/sbin/loader[0x409c73]
/lib64/libc.so.6(exit+0xe2)[0x7f7d45fffdb2]
/sbin/loader[0x42028b]
/sbin/loader[0x420975]
/sbin/loader[0x41ba7f]
/sbin/loader[0x413e4b]
/sbin/loader[0x40d013]
/lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd)[0x7f7d45fe8cdd]
/sbin/loader[0x4079c9]
install exited abnormally [1/1]
The system will be rebooted when you press Ctrl-C or
Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
Sometime is in bold because sometimes it does work (on the same node) and
the node successfully installed. strange.
Any ideas?
thx in advance.
