Hi!

I'm currently running xcat 2.8-snap20130201 for ubuntu.

After the note I send, I tried to deploy the ubuntu image in a HS22 in the
same bladecenter and it worked using xnba. I'll give it a shot with rhel on
the HS23 and update the bladecenter firmware to check if this behave
changes.

      I had test installing ubuntu 12.04.2 on my test machine, did not met
      your problem. I think you can try to provision redhat or sles first.

      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.
