Trying to set up the default compute stateless template in v2.8.3 on rhel
6.4. This system was first upgraded from xCAT 2.7.3 to 2.8.3 w/ latest
deps. We took the default compute.pkglist and compute.exlist from
$XCATROOT/share/xcat/netboot/rh. When genimage is building the initrd, I
see the following:
Try to load drivers: pps_core mlx4_core mdio libcrc32c ptp dca virtio_ring
virtio mlx4_en tg3 bnx2 bnx2x e1000 e1000e igb mlx_en virtio_net be2net
ext3 ext4 to initrd.
W: Cannot load dracut module "xcat", dependencies failed.
W: Dracut module "xcat" cannot be found.
W: Dracut module "nfs" cannot be found.
W: Dracut module "network" cannot be found.
the initial ramdisk for statelite is generated successfully.

After running packimage, we boot the system and see the following in the
console:

The management node has a patched kernel, and it appears the stateless
image is running the stock rhel 6.4 kernel. Could this be the problem, or
am I missing something:
