thanks. Upgrade from 2.15 to 2.16 must have changed something in the kickstart template file. We solved it by setting
rootpw <password> in the template file. Also, the host I was trying to build, it had that template profile cached, I had to remove the host profile and re-create it. then I was able to build the node. Also, it looks like the upgrade replaced the /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos7.pkglist file , I wish it did not touch that file in upgrades. I had to get it off my backup. :-) Anyways, thanks for all your help today. I learned something new for xcat today.
