Have you tried the genimage on the earlier version of xCAT, before you
upgraded ?
The support for RHEL7.4 started with xCAT 2.13, perhaps that version will
work better for you.
The current version of xCAT 2.16 has not been tested with 7.4

Hi Mark, management is running CentOS 7.9 (upgraded from 7.4). I also
upgraded xCAT to the latest release.
[root@headnode ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)
[root@headnode ~]# rpm -qa xCAT
xCAT-2.16.2-snap202105201708.x86_64
Thanks.

Hello, I'm trying to update an old CentOS 7.4 cluster but genimage is
failing during dracut phase:
# chroot /install/netboot/centos7.4/x86_64/compute/rootimg dracut
-f /tmp/initrd.2501.gz 3.10.0-1160.45.1.el7.x86_64
No '/dev/log' or 'logger' included for syslog logging
Turning off host-only mode: '/sys' is not mounted!
Turning off host-only mode: '/proc' is not mounted!
Turning off host-only mode: '/run' is not mounted!
Turning off host-only mode: '/dev' is not mounted!
dracut module 'xcat' cannot be found or installed.
I've looked around the web and found a lot of similar issues but no
fixes at all. Is there anything that I can do instead of running
copycds again and customizing everything from the ground?
Thanks all,
