For xCAT diskless, it just installs the packages in chroot mode, no special operations. You can try whether the exlist caused the problem. Clean the 'exlist' for the osimage definition and try again.
Thanks

Subject: [xcat-user] Problems with x desktop after diskless image build / boot
Date: Tue, Mar 1, 2016 4:34 AM
We are seeing issues with a system booted diskless with the basic-desktop, gnome-desktop and desktop-platform groups added to the pkglist. The problem does not occur if I add these package groups after the system is booted. I believe it is due to not having a populated /etc/group file during the first stage of creating the rooting. There are many messages saying group xxx doesn't exist using root. Has anyone managed a workaround for this?
The first symptom we notice is that the lock screen doesn't allow to switch users, only unlock the original login. When you try the screen goes black and then nothing. After unlocking there is a dialogue that says "Unable to start new display // Could not identify the current session"
Google search shows similar problems but no solution.
Thanks,
