I notice that you have this set servicenode=servicenode_ip,managements_ip and nfsserver=managements_ip. Since before you had xcatmaster=managements_ip, is it possible that the nodes were always installing from the management node and not from your service node. Another question - was node8 installed originally by xCAT, or are you trying to setup to install a node using xCAT for the first time. What hardware are you using?

Lissa,
Thank you for your response and support on this!
We are running xCAT Version 2.6.11 (svn r11798, built Thur Mar 8 16:09
2012) on both the Management Node and the Service Node. Management Node
and Service Node are running RHEL 6.1. The image install for the 'node8'
is at RHEL 6.1. Both Management and Service nodes are syncing tables
correctly.
I investigated the xcatmaster attribute for the node and corrected the
following entry in the noderes xcat configuration table:
From:
"test","servicenode_ip,managementnode_ip","pxe",,"managementnode_ip",,,"mac","mac",,,
"managementnode_ip",,,,,,"0"
To:
"test","servicenode_ip,managementnode_ip","pxe",,"managementnode_ip",,,"mac","mac",,,
"servicenode_ip",,,,,,"0"
With the xcatmaster attribute pointing to the Service Node, I ran another
install for node8 'rinstall node8' and still received the same hangup when
it was trying to boot as identified below and in the previous note:
- 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

Thank you again! Kindly,

Could you give us the level of xCAT you are running? Is it the same
level on the Service node?
nodels -v will do it.
I did notice that on your lsdef of the node8 below, your xcatmaster
attribute is the address of the management node. If you want that node
installed by the service node, then it should be the ip address of the
servicenode as known by the node.

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:

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
