If this method is unsupported then how do you run Ubuntu nodes using RHEL

Here are the first few lines.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Jack,
Can you send me an excerpt of of the command when you run genimage and the top
10 lines
btw, this method is unsupported, and this was a trial by me to get this to
work; so us trying to debug this, is just a trial to see if we can get it to
work in your environment
regards,
