Description

When capturing OS x86_64 installs provisioned by xcat kickstart method. In the newly inserted image, the image.architecture value is inherited from it's parent image information in the image table. For xCAT partimage based images, it fails when x86_64 value is set for the image architecture. This is due to how both the current xcat partimageng.pm module and the vcl xCAT prov modules are written. They are is assuming a x86 only paths i.e /install/image/x86, /tftpboot/../x86, etc.

A short work around is to set the image.architecture in the State.pm module.

The longer term fix will be to remove the dependency on the x86 in the path locations for the xCAT modules in the next release.
