Hi there,
I am trying to kickstart a system (IBM/lenovo x3550 with RHEL6.7) using xcat
2.8.5 and I can not seem to get it to install.
I install using the commands:
nodeset node osimage=rhels6.7-x86_64-install-compute
rsetboot node net; rpower node reset
I see it successfully start the xCAT network boot agent, load the kernel
/tftboot/xcat/genesis.kernel.x86_64 and /tftboot/xcat/genesis.fs.x86_64.lzma
But anaconda never seems to start, and it is stuck on "network configuration
complete, commencing transmit of discovery packets"
This may have something to do with the fact that this machine has an external
interface and an internal interface, so I am wondering if this could be an
issue? If so how to disable the external interface until the machine has been
installed?
Thank you for your time!
Stephen
P.S.
