-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sunil,
I cc'd the vcl-dev list. The URL you included was wrong. listener.py does provide status for partimage as well. I updated it. However, xcat does not use listener.py to determine when a node is successfully loaded. updateflag.awk is a postscript that connects back to xcatd on the management node to tell it the node has finished installing. updateflag.awk is called from the partimageng postscript. That's where you'll need to start to debug why it gets stuck in a reinstall loop.
