[xcat-user] rbootseq failure & 3650m2 PXE boot

[Caruthers, Christian (LARC-E301)[SCIENCE SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS INC]]

I look the same:

"amm",,"blade",,,,,,,,,,
"blade",,"blade",,,,,"1","19200","hard",,,

Still the same error!

Probably not.  My nodehm list looks like this:

#node,power,mgt,cons,termserver,termport,conserver,serialport,serialspeed,serialflow,getmac,comments,disable
"compute",,"blade",,,,,"1","19200","hard",,,
"mm",,"blade",,,,,,,,,,

These are for older HS21 xM's.  I don't have any HS22s that I can test on.

So if rpower works on these blades, but rbootseq doesn't, is there a setting
I'm missing?
