. Take a look at this documentation , the otherpkgdir always ends with the architecture directory and then the directories under that contain the rpms. I have never seen anything different so this may be a limitation in our code.
In other words in your case it should be otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/centos5.4-new-kernel/x86_64 https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_iDataPlex_Cluster_Quick_Start#Installing_Additional_Packages_Using_an_Otherpkgs_Pkglist Lissa K.

However when running "updatenode $node -S", the setting is being ignored. The problem is bolded below. Example is below, how do I get this thing to look at the right path? [root@master v5.4.8-dl-compute]# chdef -t osimage v5.4.8-dl-compute otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/centos5.4-new-kernel/x86_64/v5.4.8-dl-compute/ 1 object definitions have been created or modified.
