We have not tested deploying ubuntu nodes from a rhel mgmt node.  At the
very least, you need to build your stateless image on an ubuntu node (not
the rhel mgmt node), following
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_iDataPlex_Cluster_Quick_Start#Building_an_Image_for_a_Different_OS_or_Architecture
 .
  But even after doing that i can't guarantee you won't run into other
problems.

Subject:        [xcat-user] Create Ubuntu Stateless Image on RHEL6.2 mgmt



How do you create the stateless image of Ubuntu 12.04.02 using the RHEL6.2
Management server.

I have presented the /install folder from Management server to a VM running
Ubuntu 12.04.02
I have copied netboot/Ubuntu folder on to the vm.
When I run genimage command I am getting the following error ‘apt
invocation failed’

root@precise64:/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/ubuntu# ./genimage
--interactive -n igb -i eth0  -o ubuntu12.04.2 -p compute
debootstrap
--include=bash,nfs-common,openssl,dhcp3-client,linux-image-generic,openssh-server,openssh-client,wget,vim,ntp,rsyslog,rsync,busybox-static
