In addition to my previous email, I have also noticed the following, not
sure if it is a bug:
1) If I update the bootparams.addkcmdline entry for the specific node it
does not seem to update the content of the node file under pxelinux.cfg. Is
that normal?
Changes seem to take effect only when I modify directly on the node file
under pxelinux.cfg
2) I see some permissions Error on /var/log/html/error_log
[Mon Jul 24 16:42:39.622769 2017] [core:error] [pid 187765] (13)Permission
denied: [client 192.168.248.153:56111] AH00035: access to
/install/netboot/centos6.5/x86_64/panther-pec6220/rootimg.gz denied
(filesystem path '/install/netboot/centos6.5') because search permissions
are missing on a component of the path
I compared with my old environment and it seems to be the same. Any
suggestions?
Thanks!
