Yes, that was that! I reduced the debug to 1 and the ssh prompt is no more. Thanks a lot for the tip!
Next question: the installation now stops asking me where to install the bootloader. This prevents the installation from completing in unattended fashion. Where is that controlled in xcat? ┌──────────┤ [!!] Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk ├───────────┐ │ │ │ You need to make the newly installed system bootable, by installing │ │ the GRUB boot loader on a bootable device.
