hi, what is your node definition and os definition?

 

ps, according to https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/wiki/XCAT_2.13.2_Release_Notes, the last xCAT release verified on rh6.8 is xCAT 2.13.2

All,

 

I upgraded xCAT to 2.14.5 on a Centos6.8 management node. After the upgrade, I made some changes to the package list and regenerated and repacked the image. I rebooted on of my service nodes and the node would not longer boot. The device DHCPs and downloads its initrd. At the point any data scrolls by on the screen too fast, but it ends with this:

 

[    6.048876] dracut: FATAL: No or empty root= argument

[    6.050124] dracut: Refusing to continue

 

 

[    6.051687] dracut Warning: Signal caught!

[    6.056424] dracut Warning: dracut: Refusing to continue

dracut Warning: dracut: Refusing to continue

 

[    6.060465] init used greatest stack depth: 5196 bytes left

[    6.061927] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

 

 

Is there a change I need to make between these 2 versions in order to have the initrd boot correctly?
