Can u check bootMode of the node?
#pasu nodename show

If output is BootModes.SystemBootMode=UEFI and Legacy,
you may need to set it as "Legacy only", use this command:
#pasu nodename set BootModes.SystemBootMode "Legacy Only"
then run "rinstall"

If output is UEFI Mode,  you need to run
# rsetboot nodename net -u
# rpower nodename reset
rinstall will not work for this case.


Thanks,
Casandra

Yes, Intel x86-64.

Thanks

  In addition to Daniel's response, I would like to add more information. I
  work with Daniel and his mail is related to me as well, of course.

  While debugging the issue, we added a lot of debug messages to the
  postscripts and postbootscripts, in order to determine the exact step
  that the installation gets stuck on. These debug messages are written to
  a file, which is accessible through SSH (the node is accessible via SSH
  while running the postscripts).

  While examining the file during the installation, we can see that it
  fills up with debug messages. We have a debug message on each script's
  beginning and end. The last debug message is the ending of the latest
  script of "postscripts". Since the node does not reboot, we don't reach
  the postbootscripts at all.

  In addition to that, by examining the output of "lsdef <node> -i
  currchain" during the hang, we get "boot". When trying to forcibly reboot
  the node, it just boots up as expected, runs the postbootscripts and
  finishes. It seems that the node does acknowledge its state to xCAT, but
  it does not reboot.

  As Daniel stated in his previous mail, turning on "xcatdebugmode" on the
  "site" table causes the whole process to work.

  We would like to understand what is causing this problem.

  Thanks

        ssh_keys is set to postbootscripts. Should I move it to

                    Hello,


                    I have encountered a strange issue where sending any
                    node to rinstall "hangs" after finishing the
                    postscripts - it never reboots, and therefore never
                    continue to the postbootscripts.


                    Trying to diagnose the issue led to the strange bit.


                    Setting xcatdebugmode=1 in site table SOLVED the issue
                    while still not showing any error in any log.


                    We have verified this is indeed the case - setting it
                    to 0 reverts to non functioning rinstall, re-setting to
                    1 and rinstall works without an issue.


                    We would like to work without debugmode - what might be
                    the issue and how can we solve this?


                    xCAT version - 2.13.8
