Hi Wang,
I managed to get past the initial discovery issue, I think it's because I
hadn't set a root password in the passwd table.
After that the systems got stuck due to wrong options in the kickstart file
which is not compatible with anaconda from CentOS 7.
I then used one of the template kickstarts which didn't have anything in
the preinstall or postinstall sections and commented/modified the
following options:
langsupport
mouse none
changed zerombr yes to just zerombr.
I also had to add the %end directive to the %pre and %post sections and
move the %end for the %package section one line above %pre
When everything was corrected node n1 installed but then went into a
reinstallation loop.
I then copied back the original kickstart which xcat created and did the
same modifications as above, then it complained about the following issues:
- compat-libstdc++-33 is not available in the repo
- The following groups don't exist System Tools, Network Server and Legacy
Software Development
At which point I chose to ignore the above package/groups and continue
installation.
Installation seemed to finish successfully but upon reboot the nodes tried
to install again.
The output for the commands you requested:
