Hey all,
     I made some progress on debian installs using xcat and wanted to 
make sure it was documented somewhere searches might find it.  So, in 
response to my missing files issue:

# 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

The thing to do is download the debian netboot tarball (available here 
(http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/), for testing), 
untar it and copy debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz and 
debian-installer/amd64/linux to 
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/debian/debian6.0.6Images/  (where you 
replace 6.0.6 with your version, obviously)

Caveats:
One big one: I haven't successfully booted a node using this yet.  My 
hardware falls over on USB discovery. I'm going to try to find some 
other hardware and give it a shot with that.  If that doesn't work, its 
on to other versions of debian....


Finally - I sent in my contributor agreement yesterday.  Should I expect 
to hear back from someone about it, or is having sent it in sufficient 
for me to start submitting code changes?

Steve
