That didn't do it - I suspect there are additional files missing.  When I have some time today, I'm going to go through the source and see what I can find.

If I write up a page on making this work (or update the plugin) can I expect it will be accepted as a contibution?

I have never tried Debian. It looks like the nodeset command is handled by the mkinstall function in debian.pm. It is located under /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin directory.

Re: [xcat-user] Debian Nodes 





It does.

$ ls /install/debian6.0.6/x86_64/
autorun.inf  firmware     isolinux     README.mirrors.html  tools
css          g2ldr        md5sum.txt   README.mirrors.txt   win32-loader.ini
debian       g2ldr.mbr    pics         README.source
dists        install      pool         README.txt
doc          install.amd  README.html  setup.exe

However, I dont have a /tftpboot/xcat/debian6.0.6 directory.

I can't find a way to get more verbose output or any debug output (for nodeset).  If you're able to point me in the right direction for some of that, I may be able to figure this out myself.

Hi,
 
 Does the copycds command copy the os files under the directory

[xcat-user] Debian Nodes 




Hey all,
  I'm having very little luck finding directions for this online, but
I'd like to use xCat (installed on CentOS) to kickstart some of my nodes
to debian.  I notice that there is a comppute template in
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/debian/.  I've downloaded all the debian
stable DVDs and imported them using copycds.  However, when I go to set
a node to do a debian install I get:

# nodeset node001 install=debian6.0.6-x86_64-compute
Error: Install image not found in /install/debian6.0.6/x86_64
Error: Some nodes failed to set up install resources, aborting

I'd appreciate any assistance or a pointer towards any resources that
will help me.

Thanks!
Steve
