Rinstall failure during node reload

[Neha Shetty <ns...@ncsu.edu>]

Hello,

We are trying to perform a kickstart based bare metal install of centos 5
on Dell T610 machines.
While performing the reload of this T610 node through vcl, the rinstall
fails.

Manually executing the rinstall command works, however through vcl it leads
to a failure.

[root@gnl-ipws45 nshetty3]# rinstall managed_node_610
nodeset managed_node_610 install: install centos5-x86_64-centos5-base25-v0
managed_node_610: reset

[root@gnl-ipws45 nshetty3]# tabdump nodetype

"managed_node_610","centos5","x86_64","centos5-base25-v0","install",,,,
[root@gnl-ipws45 nshetty3]#

Any pointers on why the rinstall could be failing ?
