Hi all, I’ve a problem installing sles12.4 or 12.5 on our compute nodes (Dell PowerEdge R640). The installation breaks after successfully downloading the initrd, kernel (via http) and xnba.kpxe file (via tftp).
The installation stops with the linuxrc – tui, immediately after querying for
an IP Address via dhcp. It is possible to start a shell and verify that the
network is up and running (see below).
I don’t see any logfile in the mounted initrd file,and no hint raising the xCAT
debug level to 2.
Does anyone ran into this problem before and has a workaround or at least an
idea how-to enable logging to find the root cause.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
-Frank Heckes
