We had similar issue (after postscripts, reboot hung) on x86 system, change
bootmode to "Legacy only" fixed.
I will try to ask my teammate to look into this also. and you can follow
this issue on github.

after postscripts
The host was with Boot Mode of "UEFI and Legacy". I performed the steps you
advised me but it didn't work, same outcome as before.
As a side note, I did the steps you said on a physical node. We also manage
vms (running on VMware ESXi) with that xCAT. Their state is the same as
with nodes - we run nodeset and reboot - and they get stuck on the same
step as the physical nodes. Everything works for them as well when we
enable xcatdebugmode. So the boot mode might not be the issue.
What do you think?
Thanks

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.

hang after postscripts
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

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
xCAT node OS - RHEL 7.4
Nodes OS - RHEL 6.5
Thanks,
Daniel Letai
