hi,

I have successfully deployed a centos7.0 stateless image on a x86_64 node.

the node definition is:

[root@ls21n01 /]# lsdef -t osimage -o centos7.0-x86_64-netboot-compute
Object name: centos7.0-x86_64-netboot-compute
exlist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/rh/compute.rhels7.x86_64.exlist
imagetype=linux
osarch=x86_64
osdistroname=centos7.0-x86_64
osname=Linux
osvers=centos7.0
otherpkgdir=/install/post/otherpkgs/centos7.0/x86_64
permission=755
pkgdir=/install/centos7.0/x86_64
pkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/rh/compute.rhels7.x86_64.pkglist
postinstall=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/rh/compute.rhels7.x86_64.postinstall
profile=compute
provmethod=netboot
rootimgdir=/install/netboot/centos7.0/x86_64/compute

on your problem, please make sure
(1)the osimage definition is correctly mapped to rhels7.0
(2)the "installnic" ,"primarynic" and "mac" node attributes are correctly specified
