Under /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg there should be a file named for the node
you're trying to install. This file contains the kickstart boot command
that's passed to the system in response to its PXE request. Can you send
the contents of that file? Also, does this node have 10Gb ports, or any
additional PCI Ethernet cards in it? If so, Red Hat more than likely sees
port 1 on this card as eth0 while the system BIOS (or uEFI or whatever)
sees the planar port 1 as eth0. Clearing out installnic and prinic help
get around this, Where you're install is failing, the network device
Network Manager is trying to initialize is dictated by the ksdevice option
in the file I mentioned above.

I did the above nodech command and then did nodeset quser10 install and it
still timed out with same message.

What happens if you blank installnic? If not set it will autodetect and
the result may surprise you. I recommend never setting installnic or
primarynic on x86 anymore, since the autodetect works as desired 99.9% of
the time.

the login nodes are provisioned.
Thanks in advance for your help.
