Re: [xcat-user] Unable to boot from HD after auto-discovery.

Posted again after fixing text formatting:
xCAT 2.7.3 CentOS 6.2 local disk installs have been working for us on a node configured with noderes.netboot=xnba.
We can toggle back and forth between "net" and "hd" boots using the "rsetboot: command.
We recently tried auto-discovery, and since then haven't been able to HD boot the node:
- Discovery works, with a correct DHCP entry created based on the switch port.
- Bmcsetup works, with correct IP address assigned to ipmi.
- OS 6.2 install on local disk works appears to work.
- A boot attempt at this point displays the screen below:

No more network devices
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
If the boot order is changed in the BIOS to be HD first, the node boots off the HD. The CentOS 6.2 install
appears perfect.
But with network boot set, we can no longer boot from the hard disk. Here's the procedure we've tried:
"rsetboot labcm0001 hd" + "nodeset labcm0001 boot" + "rpower labcm0001 reset".
There was a thread suggesting that TWO "nodeset labcm0001 boot" commands should be issued, with a reboot
attempt in between, but this doesn't work for us either.
"nodeset labcm0001 install" + "rsetboot labcm0001 net" + "rpower labcm0001 reset" does do an install.
"nodeset labcm0001 shell" + "rsetboot labcm0001 net" + "rpower labcm0001 reset" does bring up the
genesis shell, and if the local disk is mounted from the shell prompt, we see a complete 6.2 system,
together with what appear to be successful xCAT install log files.
What do we need to do to boot the node from the HD?
Thanks!
