I see that you are using an Avocent, but you have a serial console
configured for the node as well. Are there any additional init messages
going over the serial console that show additional information? For
RH/CentOS (and I am assuming Ubuntu here as well), init messages will be
sent to the last terminal listed in your kernel command line. You have
the serial port listed last.

Hi!
I'm trying to deploy Ubuntu in a few compute nodes. I have tried both
pxe and xnba as netboot, in both cases I got the booting hanging at
some part.
For pxe, the compute node had the ip set by dhcp correctly and was
able to download the necessary pxe files using tftp. It downloaded
initrd.gz and vmlinuz and it started the installation process, hanging
in the middle of it (see pic 1 attached).
For xnba, it also hangs trying to download the elilo-x86.efi file, at
31% . I've tried that for different compute nodes and they had the
same behavior (see pic 2).
Log in the mn :
*Mar 6 13:54:43 tam in.tftpd[21959]: RRQ from 9.114.219.49 filename
/xcat/elilo-x64.efi
Mar 6 13:55:24 tam kernel: [2331921.456317] be2net 0000:16:00.1: Out
of MCCQ wrbs*
After some time, it restarts the cn and try to pxe boot it again, but
it gives me those messages in the mn (be2net Out of MCCQ wrbs, which
looks like network issues).
Any help or insights is appreciated!
Here is my configuration.
