Hi Will,

Great to see you on the users list! (well, not great to see the content,

I have had success setting up CentOS 6.5 minimal in nodes, configuring
network, and then adding the node through the management interface - the
Engine takes care of installing & configuring the nodes.

Have you tried this?

Incidentally, you can also have Node images deployed via PXE boot (this
seems orthogonal to your issue, though): http://www.ovirt.org/Node_PXE

Cheers,
Dave.
