It  would be good if you could update to the currently supported level of
xCAT 2.7 release  ( 2.7.7).

  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.

  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:
  bject name: ttlogin01

  Verify you do not have dynamic and static networks overlapping for that

  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
   APPEND initrd=xcat/rhels6.2/x86_64/initrd.img repo=
  http://172.20.0.1/install/rhels6.2/x86_64/ ks=
  http://172.20.0.1/install/autoinst/ttlogin01 ksdevice=eth0 cmdline
  console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200
    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.
