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

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.

Thanks,
