Firat,
Did you set the compute node password as described here (first bullet
under #1):

Subject: [xcat-user] kickstart error
Hi everybody,
Version 2.13.4
OS Oracle Lİnux 6.9
Server Oracle sunfire X4170M2
This is my first xcat day so sorry if my question is noobish.
I set up master node and try to provision my first compute node. Booting
process starts on compute node but then i get kickstart error.
line 127 A single argument is expected for rootpw command
[root@xcatmn xcat]# cat /tmp/osimage.stanza
# <xCAT data object stanza file>
rhels6-x86_64-install-compute:
objtype=osimage
imagetype=linux
osarch=x86_64
osdistroname=rhels6-x86_64
osname=Linux
osvers=rhels6
otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/rhels6/x86_64
pkgdir=/install/rhels6/x86_64
pkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/compute.rhels6.x86_64.pkglist
profile=compute
provmethod=install
template=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/compute.rhels6.x86_64.tmpl
i check the file
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/compute.rhels6.x86_64.tmpl
118 # To generate an encrypted root password use:
119 #
120 # perl -e 'print crypt("blah","Xa") . "\n";'p
121 # openssl passwd -apr1 -salt xxxxxxxx password
122 #
123 # where "blah" is your root password.
124 #
125 #rootpw --iscrypted *********
126 #rootpw XaLGAVe1C41x2 --iscrypted
127 rootpw --iscrypted
$6$GkVC6JaLB8MiFJvzEx8uTEGOaKFqe*****L6VeT/vdTK8CC******iqiaB/lMUlK******sQL.
eventhough i change this file i get the same error and this was the only
image in the xcat
*It didn't accept oracle linux iso name so i changed it with rhels6
is it an error related with Oracle Linux support or i am missing something
else?
Best Regards
Firat Yilmaz
