What version of xCAT are you using? (xdsh -V)
Can you change netboot=xnba and change installnic and primarynic to
empty? Then run nodeset again and redeploy the node.

Subject: Re: [xcat-user] problem installing new node
Verified the static/dynamic overlapping and that does not seem to be a
problem. Also double checked the ip/mac and they are not
duplicated/overlapping.
Here is the lsdef of one of the problematic nodes:

Verify you do not have dynamic and static networks overlapping for that
network definition. Also verify you have configured the correct MAC
address for that node in xcat and do not have overlapping MACs/IPs.
What does an lsdef for one of the problem nodes look like?

Here is the tcpdump from the management node when this happens:
14:33:20.626124 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 50528, offset 0, flags [none],
proto: UDP (17), length: 68) <new-node>.informatik-lm > <mgt node>: [udp
sum ok] 40 RRQ "pxelinux.0" octet tsize 0 blksize 1468
in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg directory we have a directory that
corresponds to the hex of the ip for the new node:
[root@mgt pxelinux.cfg]# ls -lrt AC140701
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 26 09:28 AC140702 -> ttlogin01
here is the content of the file:
root@mgt pxelinux.cfg]# cat ttlogin01
#install rhels6.2-x86_64-ttlogin6
DEFAULT xCAT
LABEL xCAT
KERNEL xcat/rhels6.2/x86_64/vmlinuz

IPAPPEND 2
For some reason, tftpboot process never proceeds to the pxelinux.cfg
directory after pxelinux.0 is served.
Stateless nodes on this cluster boot fine so I think our tftpboot
environment is OK. It's just these two nodes that have to be installed
that are problematic.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Damir.
