You can nodeset <nodes> shell
That'll get you an environment that should boot in them regardless, complete
with ssh and all.

I may have jumped to conclusions about the reason, but in any case the two new
M5 machines don't boot.
This is the line specifying drivers from our build script:
./genimage -i eth0 -n dca,8021q,igb,bnx2,tg3 -o centos6.5 -k
2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 -p comp
As to the ethernet interfaces, from M4 machine the relevant ASU output looks
like
PXE.NicPortMacAddress.1=6C:AE:8B:08:94:ED
PXE.NicPortMacAddress.2=6C:AE:8B:08:94:EE
IntelRI350GigabitNetworkConnection-6CAE8B0894ED.LinkStatus=Connected
IntelRI350GigabitNetworkConnection-6CAE8B0894ED.AlternateMACAddress=6C:AE:8B:08:94:ED
IntelRI350GigabitNetworkConnection-6CAE8B0894ED.LinkSpeed=AutoNeg
IntelRI350GigabitNetworkConnection-6CAE8B0894ED.WakeonLAN=Enabled
IntelRI350GigabitNetworkConnection-6CAE8B0894EE.LinkStatus=Disconnected
IntelRI350GigabitNetworkConnection-6CAE8B0894EE.AlternateMACAddress=6C:AE:8B:08:94:EE
IntelRI350GigabitNetworkConnection-6CAE8B0894EE.LinkSpeed=AutoNeg
IntelRI350GigabitNetworkConnection-6CAE8B0894EE.WakeonLAN=Enabled
On the new M5 machines, there are only two ports on the front (no dedicated IMM
port), but there are now four PXE Mac lines, #3 is shared port.
PXE.NicPortMacAddress.1=E4:1D:2D:73:56:01
PXE.NicPortMacAddress.2=E4:1D:2D:73:56:02
PXE.NicPortMacAddress.3=40:F2:E9:C5:51:12
PXE.NicPortMacAddress.4=40:F2:E9:C5:51:13
Now I realize the first two are from the dual port FDR IB mezzanine card
(ConnectX-3 Pro). They can be used as 10/40/56 GbE, I suppose, but we want to
use one of them for FDR IB only, and the other one isn't connected to anything.
The other two are BroadCom / Tg3
I wish I could ssh to the machine so I could poke around and see what the NICs
are called. Maybe I will have to boot off a USB key. No disks in these hosts.

What nic driver was built in the initrd? m4 was igb, m5 uses tg3.
" extra unusable Ethernet ports on the motherboard that mess up the interface

I'm interested in what this means and if I can help on that.

Yes, we are seeing exactly the same problem. 300 nodes from nehalem to
nextscale m4 all work fine with the same centos 6.5 image, but not so for the
the Lenovo nextscale M5 nodes. They seem to have extra unusable Ethernet ports
on the motherboard that mess up the interface naming. Is there a workaround for
this???
