Brian,
     You are trying to deploy an x86_64 node. Why are you using grub2? Can 
you set netboot=xnba and do nodeset again?
xCAT supports grub2 for RHEL7 on ppc64 nodes now. 

     If you have to use grub2 for your hardware, can you rename grub2.ppc 
to grub2.x86_64 to see if it works?  (I have never tried though).

Hi,

The info requested is as follows

lsxcatd -v

Version 2.8.5 (git commit 51b69940b6fc7b54fc2a1f89330e69c8f830a3fc, built

lsdef -t osimage mycomputeimage
Object name: mycomputeimage
    exlist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/centos/compute.exlist
    imagetype=linux
    netdrivers=ixgbe

    profile=compute
    provmethod=netboot
    rootimgdir=/install/netboot/centos7.0/x86_64/mycomputeimage

I have checked that the directories, pkglist and kernel referenced exist, 
but have discovered that 
/install/netboot/centos7.0/x86_64/mycomputeimage/rootimg.gz does not. A 
directory /install/netboot/centos7.0/x86_64/mycomputeimage/rootimg is 
present.

The /tftpboot/boot/grub2/ directory contains

grub2.ppc  grub.cfg-<MAC ADDRESS>  grub.cfg-<HEX CODE I DON'T IMMEDIATELY 
RECOGNISE>  node1  powerpc-ieee1275


regards


Brian
