[xcat-user] MAC messages flood when using winstall

[gvijeeth at gmail.c. (V. Reddy)]

Yes it is .15. I have ran the stage2 i.e makedhcp and getmac. 

When change the OS type in nodetype.tab to RHWS3 its working fine
without any errors for eth0 & eth1.

But I am not able to install the RHAS3. when I change that its
throwing that message after the kernel boot.

Do I have to change any other cfg files to change the OS other than nodetype ?

Thanks,
Vijeeth

Is .15 the IP address the server is supposed to get? Or is this your
dynamic range? By default nodes will go to stage2 and mac address
collection if there is no match in dhcpd.conf. Have you done stage 2
and mac address collection already? You familiar with makedhcp --new
and makedhcp <noderange>?
BTW: Have you changed your IP address scheme since you started? You'll
want to rerun the makedhcp command and potentially want to blow away
the files in /tftpboot. You can regenerate these files by running
/opt/xcat/stage/mkstage. Then nodeset <noderange> install. I'll do
this every once in a while if I'm having some boot problems. If your
really interested in whats going on watch your machine pxe boot and
watch the files it tries to load from /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ Trace
the files to see why it not catching a match with "install" in the
contents of the text file. You'll see you're probably falling all the
way down to the "default" file. Which should say stage2 inside it.

It looks suspiciously like your node is booting the Stage2 kernel
instead of the installer.

What does nodeset <nodename> stat return for this node?
