I have a few nodes booting rhel6 disklessly and they are working fine. New 
hardware was purchased and I manually (via tabedit) added the new node to the 
xcat tables. I ran nodeset and makedhcp and it completed. I then tried to boot 
the node and it started to come up, got it's initrd and kernel, but then 
stopped. It never tried to get its image(rpm.cpio.gz) and continue bootup.

For reference, these are the tables the new node was added to in order for it 
to get to this state.

Chain
Mac
Nics
Nodelist
Noderes
Nodetype

In all tables a copy of an existing node was made then modified for the new 
node.

My bootparams is empty for all nodes.

the node definitions are identical for a working node and this non-working node

I also compared the respective boot files in /tftpboot and saw no differences 
there either.

Xcat 2.14.6

These are stateless (diskless) nodes so the command I used to boot was: nodeset 
<nodename> osimage=<imagename>



What did I miss? Is this a problem with manually adding the node to the tables? 
Any help would be appreciated.
