With an installed version of xCAT-2.8.2 on rhels6.4....

Currently having a problem with "netboot" of a rhelcn6.4 stateless image.

After "freeing unused kernel memory"


dracut: FATAL: No or empty root= argument
dracut: refusing to continue
/lib/dracut-lib.sh: line 83: /emergency/01-die.sh: No such file or
directory

dracut Warning: Signal caught!

Kernel panic -not syncing: Attempted to kill init!



Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am new to "xcat" and this mailing list :-)

Regards,

Raoul

Make sure your stateless image has the following RPMs installed within it:

dracut-kernel-004-303.el6.noarch
dracut-network-004-303.el6.noarch
dracut-004-303.el6.noarch
