Has anyone successfully deployed xCAT to a Dell R740?

The head node is running CentOS 7.6, and the xCAT version is 2.14.6.


In our case, PXE booting via UEFI failed after it loaded the binary elilo
image.  We switched to BIOS booting, and the installer starts to run, but
then says "OS installation aborted" after a couple of seconds.

/tmp/program.log consists of the following:

We specified a custom partition file creation script, but it appears it's
not being used.

Got any clues for me? What other information should I post?
