Looks like the console output is unreadable after the booting of deployment
kernel. So your console setting is not correct. I guess the serialspeed is
incorrect, you need correct it to be identical with the setting in the
bios. After correcting the console, we'll get more information of why
hanging.
Thanks
Best Regards

Thanks Lisa, it still behaves the same even if I change the image to
"centos5.10-x86_64-netboot-Centos-5.10".
The node hardware is a Sun x6275 blade node.

Subject: [xcat-user] xcat hangs during deployment
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
