Unfortunately not.

Well so the “right thing” would be copycds again. I’m not sure if downgrading 
now would be an option since the headnode is already running 7.9.

Inside the images I was “YOLO” and ran “yum -u update” against public 
repositories.

Thank Mark. Is there’s any other ideia please let me know.

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,
