I'll try to get 6.2 spun up to see if I can see. But the errors you are seeing seem to be before DHCP transaction comes into play...
FWIW, was theer any non xct upgrades done at the same time? From: Robert Horton <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 06/28/2013 11:14 AM Subject: Re: [xcat-user] xnba provisioning of kvm vms with 2.8.1 My qemu had been upgraded to 0.12.1.2-2.355 which is the same as 6.4 uses so I don't think that's the problem. It's possibly of interest that it works with xnba if I use the efi firmware from http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/OVMF (although that creates some different problems, but I digress). I'm struggling to see what the problem could be - neither xnba-undi nor any of the qemu packages were touched by the upgrade. The dhcp leases look OK and both uEFI and BOIS physical machines seem to provision OK with them. I could probably spin up a 6.4 hypervisor if you think that would help, my other thought was to get some debug output from the dhcp server to check that's behaving as expected. I'll give that a go next week. Rob On Thu, 2013-06-27 at 14:23 -0400, Jarrod B Johnson wrote: > It should have dhcped in the first place either way..
