Subject: Re: [xcat-user] Unable to build stateless image
Thank you for your help, I did a bit of reproducing and I found the problem
+ want to let you know about a bug in 2.8.5 version.
First of all, since I'm doing the testing on Virtual Box virtual machines,
I didn't give enough memory to the node, n1 (only 512MB was configured).
On 2.8.5, xCAT installation does not
create /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/dracut, I had to create the link
manually just as Xiao Peng Wang suggested - Thank you !! after the link was
created, everything started working again.
cd /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/centos
ln -s ../rh/dracut dracut
On 2.8.4, xCAT creates everything properly.
Thank you,
Dennis.

#1, you can use 'addkcmdline' attribute of node add additional kernel
parameters for the node.
#2, for your error during boot of image, looks like your image was not
created successfully (missed some files?), you can run 'rmimage <osimage>
and then regenerate the image. And during the regenerate, check the
output to make sure there's not fatal error.
Thanks

I ran the following:

2. ln -s ../rh/dracut dracut
3. genimage centos6.5-x86_64-netboot-compute
4. packimage centos6.5-x86_64-netboot-compute
Encountered an error about selinux, so I've added selinux=0 to the APPEND
line in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/n1, how do I add it using xCAT tables?
I encountered another error after that, I've added a print screen to this
email.
