I installed xCAT Version 2.8.4 on a centos 6.5 x86_64 platform. My attempts to deploy are proving to be unsuccessful. I have tested tftpd, httpd, nfs independently and everything seems to be fine. I have tried a stateless approach and it hangs after loading the kernel and the rootimg files from tftp. The syslog doesnt throw a lot of infor apart from the fact that the 2 boot files have been loaded. Below is the screenshot of the node provisioned
