I kindly ask for your assistance in this matter
I am trying to provision centos 7 using xcat 2.14 but its actually
failing. The xcat server run centos 7.3. I can provision centos 6 very well.
Are there any tricks or parameters to tune in order for centos 7 to
provision.
The last line displayed is
*Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C0A81802 ok. *
Troublshooting by using the command - xcatprobe osdeploy -n xcat-client
shows "*stop at stage 'download_kickstart'" *
Seems it fails when it attempts to download the kickstart file.
Any ideas
The configurations for the xcat server below
-Xcat is installed perfectly well according to xcatprobe.
