So given this and the discovery discussion elsewhere, I've decided to upload the genesis builder rpm. It's not particularly documented, so here's a stab at how to make a new genesis out of some CentOS6 (or obviously similar): -Install rpm onto some 'donor' system. -Run: /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis/builder/buildrpm -Guess what rpms might be missing when it fails, try again. glibc.i686 is one biggie. If something is posted to list I'll probably recognize it.
You'll see something to the effect of: Wrote: /home/jbjohnso/rpmbuild/SRPMS/xCAT-genesis-base-x86_64-2.8-snap201401221702.src.rpm Wrote: /home/jbjohnso/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/xCAT-genesis-base-x86_64-2.8-snap201401221702.noarch.rpm The list will notice that enic will now be included. /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/genesis/builder/installkernel is the list of drivers that get pulled in, for reference). URL at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xcat/files/xcat/xcat-genesis-builder/xCAT-genesis-builder-2.8.4-snap201401221658.noarch.rpm/download I figured I'd at least enable people to build new genesis images for themselves. We should do CentOS 6.5 soon, but it won't look any different than what you'd build for yourself with that package.

It looks like the genesis kernel is from CentOS 6.3, is there a way to force it to 6.4 or 6.5?
