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

That seems strange - why would you need to "nodeset boot" after "rsetboot hd" ? nodeset boot modifies tftpboot files, but rsetboot hd should already bypass the entire pxe chain. As an interim troubleshooting step - try removing the string "quiet console=ttyS1,115200" then issue rpower boot again to the node (do not "nodeset" or you will overwrite your modifications), this time with console attached directly to the node (or with ipmi console redirection, not serial redirection), to see what happens after initial image is loaded.
