Thank you for your help, I did a bit of reproducing and I found the problem
+ want to let you know about a bug in 2.8.5 version.
First of all, since I'm doing the testing on Virtual Box virtual machines,
I didn't give enough memory to the node, n1 (only 512MB was configured).
On 2.8.5, xCAT installation does not create
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/dracut, I had to create the link manually just
as Xiao Peng Wang suggested - Thank you !! after the link was created,
everything started working again.
- cd /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/centos
- ln -s ../rh/dracut dracut
On 2.8.4, xCAT creates everything properly.
Thank you,
Dennis.
