*Background:*
On a previously built x3550 M3 server with a stateful install of RHEL 6.1
that was working fine after an IBM CET install does not work after running
'rinstall' on the node. It is important to note that the cluster has a
management node and a servicenode. We tested 'rinstalling' the test
'node8' with the following results:
*The sequence of events before problem:*
- The following command is run # rinstall node8
- At the console of node8, it gets its ip
- mgt(management) and sn(servicenode) servers perform
dhcpdiscover/dhcpoffer/dhcprequest/dhcpack for node8
- mgt server successfully transfers the rhels6.1 vmlinuz and initrd.img
- At the console the "Ready ..." message is displayed and starts to load
- Then if freezes displaying the following last lines outputted:
Initializing network drop monitor service
Freeing unused kernel memory: 1232k freed
Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 10240k
Freeing unused kernel memory: 1112k freed
Freeing unused kernel memory: 1796k freed
usb 5-2: New USB device found, idVendor=04b3, idProduct=4010
usb 5-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 5-2: Product: RNDISKDC ETHER
*At during the problem troubleshooting:*
- Can ping node8
- Can login to the IMM through the browser
- Cannot ssh or telnet into node8
- rcons is empty with nothing to display/no logon
*xCAT tables:*
