Hello all, I've found the problem. While probing the tables of xCAT, I stumbled on osdistro table, and found that the ScientificLinux is added as version 69.
Removing the definition and re-adding with copycds <iso> -n SL6.9 solved all problems, however this is not documented in an easily accessible place as far as I can tell. Maybe adding notes about these details to the documentation is a good idea.
