Glad that could help, makes no sense for quiet to suppress the anaconda stuff though, I use quiet all the time and get stopped by installer messages... very bizarre...

Interestingly enough, removing the "quiet" allowed me to see all the "regular" messages and then the anaconda shell with its multiple tabs ... Which allowed me to spot this question: ====================================== Question You have specified that the package 'nvidia.x86_64' should be installed. This package does not exist. Would you like to ignore this package and continue with installation? Please respond 'yes' or 'no': ====================================== I guess the installer was stuck waiting for my response and I couldn't see it until I removed the "quiet" option :) Well done ! > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicolas Roosen <nicolas.roo...@hpe.com> > Sent: Friday, June 08, 2018 10:37 AM > To: xcat-user@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [xcat-user] [External] HP DL380 Gen9 and xCat > > On 06/08/2018 04:19 PM, Jarrod Johnson wrote: >> What do the contents of /tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/s001-clu look like on the >> management node?
