confusing error message when xCAT-IBMhpc is not installed.After I installed xCAT-IBMhpc-2.8.3-snap201310090314.noarch, the error is gone, genimage run successfully.

    I don't think the "df" result show that tmpfs is full

    Yang song,
    Sorry for my mistake.
    Since xCAT-IBMhpc rpm is not mandatory installation,if there is no xCAT-IBMhpc,in some situation, genimage will fail and return confusing error message.
    You can debug using my environment.

    [root@p7hvjs22r04 netboot]#

    If the xCAT-IBMhpc is not installed, the files included in pkglist do not exist, so the pkglist is empty.

    The error message should be more clear.
