I've tried recreating the /etc/hosts file, running makedns, makehosts,
makedhcp -n, nodediscoverdef -u <UUID> n1, the installation finished but
upon next reboot the system PXE boots and tries to reinstall with the
genesis files instead of booting centos7.
I can get it to install centos7 again by repeating the nodediscoverdef step
but once it finishes the same thing happens.
I'm not really sure what the issue is at this moment.
Regarding the previous issue the MN never got showed this message:
Received getpostscript from <node>, which couldn't be correlated to a node
Thanks,
Chris
