-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm running xCAT 2.7.6 on CentOS 6.3 and I'm trying to create a stateless image. When I run genimage it generates a bunch of warnings and some errors, but at the end it says that it was successful. After packing the image and attempting to boot a node I see that the node gets its kernel and initrd, but stops there. Here is a listing of the output I'm seeing from genimage:
[root@mgmt compute]# genimage mycomputeimage Generating image: cd /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/centos; ./genimage -a x86_64 -o centos6.3 -p compute -n e1000e -i eth0 --permission 755 --srcdir /install/centos6.3/x86_64 --pkglist /install/custom/netboot/centos/compute.centos6.pkglist --otherpkgdir /install/post/otherpkgs/centos6.3/x86_64 --postinstall /install/custom/netboot/centos/compute.postinstall --rootimgdir /install/netboot/centos6.3/x86_64/compute --tempfile /tmp/xcat_genimage.30338 mycomputeimage yum -y -c /tmp/genimage.30346.yum.conf - --installroot=/install/netboot/centos6.3/x86_64/compute/rootimg/ - --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=centos6.3-x86_64-0 install bash nfs-utils openssl dhclient kernel openssh-server openssh-clients busybox dash wget rsync dracut-network lsvpd irqbalance procps iputils rpm e2fsprogs parted bc ntp vim-minimal Setting up Install Process Package bash-4.1.2-9.el6_2.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package 1:nfs-utils-1.2.3-26.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package openssl-1.0.0-20.el6_2.5.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package 12:dhclient-4.1.1-31.P1.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package kernel-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package openssh-server-5.3p1-81.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package openssh-clients-5.3p1-81.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package 1:busybox-1.15.1-15.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package dash-0.5.5.1-3.1.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package wget-1.12-1.4.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package rsync-3.0.6-9.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package dracut-network-004-283.el6.noarch already installed and latest version No package lsvpd available.

I have inserted ... where there are many lines of /dev/null permission denied messages. I can see that the /dev/null in the boot does have the wrong permissions: [root@mgmt compute]# ls -l rootimg/dev/null crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 3 Dec 19 17:45 rootimg/dev/null ,but if I try to fix it it just breaks again on the next run. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? I have tried to follow the wiki documentation for Quick Start as closely as possible.
