Nodels <noderange> nodehm.serialflow

If set to ‘hard’, some systems will flip out in the way you describe.

I suggest just disabling it (nodech noderange nodehm.serialflow=).  The 
potential downside (what you hit) is worse than the theoretical upside (reduced 
chances for occasional dropped characters, but on modern systems with SOL those 
chances are pretty low).

Let us know if that is it.

Subject: Re: [xcat-user] Dell c6220 boot stalls

I've found a workaround for this. I left one of the c6220s in the stalled state 
overnight again. I went to look at it remotely this morning via serial over 
lan. As soon as I connected to it, the install continued.  The same thing 
worked for the other three servers. Then, I tried setting up the console server 
and started the installs again. This time, the console server daemon kept an 
sol connection to the servers open and the installs completed without any other 
intervention from me. Is this expected behavior or is there a way to fix this?

Hello,

I have four Dell PowerEdge c6220s that freeze during the install process via 
pxe and xnba. The other nodes in this cluster, a mix of PE 1950s and PE R410s, 
can boot into the CentOS 7 install media and are provisioned correctly. My xCAT 
version is 2.9.1.

The install process starts out fine. The nodes download their gpxe, vmlinuz, 
initrd.img, and ks files and start booting into the installation media but the 
installations halt shortly after that. The last line of output on the monitor 
is always "[ OK ] Listening on Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Stack Activation Socket." 
After that, nothing. I left it overnight, came back and still had the same text 
on the screen. I've done a bit of searching and not found anything about this. 
Maybe I've missed something. Has anyone experienced this before? Anyone have 
suggestions for a fix? I'm not sure what other info to provide so, if anything 
else would be helpful, just let me know.

Thanks,

Matt
