I just switched from stateless using RAMdisk based boot to statelite
using NFS root and ran into another problem. After following all the
documentation to change our setup I finally run nodeset to create the
new pxelinux.cfg file and it generates this:

#statelite centos6.3-x86_64-compute
DEFAULT xCAT
LABEL xCAT
 KERNEL xcat/netboot/centos6.3/x86_64/compute/kernel
 APPEND
initrd=xcat/netboot/centos6.3/x86_64/compute/initrd-statelite.gz
NFSROOT=172.17.0.1:/install/netboot/centos6.3/x86_64/compute STATEMNT=
XCAT=172.17.0.1:3001 ifname=eth0:00:30:48:f2:87:78 netdev=eth0
console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8r MNTOPTS=
  IPAPPEND 2

When I boot that node it kernel panics after an error:

dracut: FATAL: No or empty root= argument

I see that nodeset did not generate a root= argument and after looking
at the dracut documentation it looks like it is required. If I
manually add the proper root= argument, pointing to the rootimg
directory, the node boots perfectly.
So, my question is should nodeset be generating the root= argument or
should it be booting somehow without it?

Thanks,
