Ok, so, upgrading to 2.14.6 fixed all the malformed URL's in dhcpd.conf file, but discovery seems to be still broken.
I get the following when I attempt a node build, after the initial xnba HTTP download through iPXE: [root@headnode Downloads]# tail -f /var/log/xcat/computes.log Apr 9 11:50:25 10.1.250.231 [localhost] INFO xcat.genesis.doxcat: ...
