Unless I am misunderstanding the question, the IPMI interface itself has
little to do with if the node can PXE boot aside from making remote
management easier.
If, when you are booting the nodes into "runcmd=bmcsetup" it is failing,
then boot the node to shell (nodeset $node shell), login over SSH, run
bmcsetup manually and start troubleshooting the script. I have had to
add support for hardware several times in the bmcsetup script itself so
that it would "talk" to that node's BMC in the way that the BMC expects
it to.

I have some Dell T-7600 servers to be used as stateless compute nodes.
They're reasonably well equipped - 8 core, 64GB memory.How do I need
to configure the IPMI or like interface to be able to boot them into a
network-bootable image?
