What version of xCAT are you using? (xdsh -V). What is the os version?
Are 04 and 05 in the .leases file for DHCP as the others? Does 04 and 05
have other dhcp servers other than the management node?
Can the management server be resolved on the 04 and 05?
It looks like that somehow the node cannot figure out who it server is in
xcatdsklspost on the node. The way that it figure out the server is
1) use /opt/xcat/xcatinfo if it is there
2) use kernel parameter XCAT= as the server
3) use dhcp server as the server (you can see the code in xcatdsklspost).
One way to debug is to append -x at the first line of
/install/postscripts/xcatdsklspost file on the management node (and the
service node), then run packimage, then nodeset, then redeploy the node.
Watch the console to see anything suspicious.
Hope it helps,

Hi Again,
I'm not sure if this will work, I did not subscribe to the mailing-list
before sending previous message,
so I did not receive the reply via email.
But there is no difference with with 01,02..05. Same subnet, DNS works,
i've checked all the tables with tabdump and the only difference I found
was the mac address.
So as far as I know, no difference at all.
Best regards and thanks a lot
