I have left it trying to boot overnight with no success. I did find earlier I
was getting an NTP error during the boot cycle. I configure ntpd on the
management node and the client node reports syncing early in the boot process
now.

So a quick question is how long is never? I had a similar situation today and
the setupntp script was taking a really long time but finally gave up. The
problem for me was that chronyd was not configured on the management node to
respond on any network interfaces. Chronyd has replaced ntpd on redhat 7.

Hello,
I am trying to setup a new HPC cluster using XCAT (2.14). I have installed
the management node and created the boot image (RHEL 7.5). The node has been
discover and PXE boots, downloading the image file. But the boot process
stalls and never finishes. I have even copied over a working RHEL 7.3 image
from our other cluster to see if that is the issue. I’ve tried disabling and
enabling hyperthreading in the client machine. I’ve also updated the firmware
on the client machine. Does anyone have any ideas of what I might try next?
