Hi xiaopeng,I don't know what's wrong with this error in kickstart configuration of oracle linux.As the sender has already change the 'rootpw' in the kickstart template file manually, the error remains. This may not be the error from the encryption method of our xcat.Hi yangsong,Do you have any experience about this problem when you doing the work about os provision?Best Regards

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=""> provmethod=install
template=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/rh/compute.rhels6.x86_64.tmpli 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
