#2157 genimage needs the repository for /install/kernels

[Li Cao]

xCAT 2.6.2 0720 RHEL6

[root@idplex04 /]# /opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/rh/genimage rhels6-x86_64-netboot-compute
The repository for /install/kernels should be created before running the geniamge. Try to run [createrepo /install/kernels]

This command is run by imgcapture, when use imgcapture with -o osimage, it will require for the kernels file from genimage. The os attribute are all the default setting, and if we run genimage with -i eth0 -n bnx2 -o rhels6 -p compute, it will pass. But if with osimage name, it will failed with " the repository for /install/kernels missing."

[root@idplex04 /]# imgcapture idplex02 -o rhels6-x86_64-netboot-compute -V

Xiao Peng, could you take a look at this problem? it is related to the kernel support with genimage.
