This stuff is hard to diagnose, but here are some problems I've hit in the past.

Have you enabled portfast (or disabled spanning tree discovery) on the switch ports?

Could xnba be trying to use the wrong interface?

Maybe xnba is getting the wrong options or route from dhcpd?

I'm getting a dhcp timeout issue with xnba/genesis. On discovery, a node will boot from the network and get the xnba image. It then times out getting network information via dhcp from within xnba. I'm running xCAT version 2.8.2, if it helps.

On the xcat management server side, I see the initial sequence of DHCP requests coming from the node - DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPOFFER, DHCPREQUEST, then DHCPACK. After the node downloads the xnba image and loads it, it then tries to do another dhcp request, where the request times out. On the xcat side, I see just a DHCPDISCOVER and a DHCPOFFER, but no further.

Any help would be appreciated.
