#4463 [fvt]2.9:sles12 on x86_64 env :xcat postscripts does not run

[junxiaw]

How to reproduce:
1.down the latest build
2. install xcat and provision xcat compute node
3.

Then after provision xcat postscripts does not run
----------------------------> /var/adm/autoinstall/scripts/xcat.sh: line 37: /etc/init.d/network: No such file or directory
----------------------------->it sleep only 10s wait for network restart on x86_64 physical machine.

This problem is caused by two problems with autoyast post script /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/scripts/post.sles.common:

1. the post.sles.common uses "/etc/init.d/network restart" to restart network, however, the /etc/init.d/network does not exist on SLES 12.

2. After the network is restarted, the post.sles.common waits 10 seconds for the network adapters initialization and configuration, the 10 seconds is not enough for a node that has a lot of network adapters.

[Guang Cheng Li]

The 2.9 stream is closed, the code change could not be integrated into 2.9. Updated the 2.9 release notes to include the workaround. Moving to 2.9.1.
