Re: [xcat-user] Problem deploying Windows

[Luis M. S. <lui...@gm...>]

I did some more tests on another system (where i setup windows
deployment exactly the same way) and...in my new system everything
works as expected!

Here is what i found:
- my system with Centos 6 and xCAT-server-2.6.2-snap201107280251.noarch works!
- my system with Centos 5.6 and xCAT-server-2.6-snap201105170224 does NOT work!

Any thoughts on what else should i debug?
Like i mentioned, i set both systems exactly the same way (following
the xCAT windows how to docs at
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_Windows
).

Thank you,
Luis
