The SLE AutoYaST profile sized the root partition with <size>auto</size>, which
lets YaST pick a size and can leave the rest of the disk unused. RHEL
(part / --grow) and Ubuntu (root uses the remaining space) both give root the
whole disk; make SUSE consistent by using <size>max</size>. Swap stays auto.

On a node whose OS disk is an Intel RSTe/VROC software RAID (/dev/md/Volume0_0
or /dev/md/Volume0), disk auto-detection finds nothing and getinstdisk falls
back to the hard-coded /dev/sda. Prefer the VROC volume over that default.
Only fires when no install disk was otherwise selected and the VROC device
actually exists, so it cannot mis-select over a real disk and has no effect on
non-VROC systems. The original commit hooked into a lenovobuild-specific M.2
detection block absent from master; adapted to master's fallback point.
Not lab-validated (no VROC hardware available).
Recovered from the unmerged lenovobuild branch (c6c70e5).
The generated /opt/xcat/xcatinstallpost ran the install postscripts first and
only disabled the xcatpostinit1 service afterwards. If one of those postscripts
rebooted the node (for example a firmware or kernel update), the service was
still enabled, so on the next boot the whole postscript set ran again from the
start. Disable the service *before* running the postscripts so a mid-postscript
reboot cannot re-trigger them.
The disable decision reads OSVER (base variant only), RUNBOOTSCRIPTS and
NODESTATUS, which the included xcatinstallpost script would otherwise set.
Moving the INCLUDE below the disable block leaves those variables unset, so read
them up front (the included script re-reads them) and source xcatlib.sh so
msgutil_r is available; the disable decision is then identical to before.
The original change (lenovobuild 9184cbe0) touched only the legacy post.xcat.
Modern EL uses the systemd variants: post.xcat.ng (RHEL/CentOS 8 and 9) and
post.xcat.rhels10 (RHEL 10). Apply the same reorder to all three so the fix
actually takes effect on current platforms.
Lab-validated with a full AlmaLinux 9.8 stateful install (post.xcat.ng path):
the generated xcatinstallpost disables the service before running the
postscripts, the postscripts run exactly once, the node reaches "booted", and
with the default NODESTATUS=1 the service is left enabled just as before.
Recovered from the unmerged lenovobuild branch (original 9184cbe0), adapted and
extended to the .ng and .rhels10 variants.

cons/kvm drives the KVM guest serial console through a shared tmux session on
the hypervisor (tmux, unlike screen, is present on every libvirt host we target
incl. ppc64le hosts that ship no screen). The KVM host package lists were never
updated for that switch, so an xCAT-provisioned KVM host got 'screen' (now
unused) -- or nothing -- where tmux is required, leaving rcons broken.
Ship tmux in the KVM host pkglists:
- install/rh, install/ubuntu: screen -> tmux / add tmux.
- netboot/{alma,centos,rocky}: were symlinks to the RHEL 5.4 list; make them
real lists with tmux (the rhel5/6/7 lists keep screen).
- install/suse: add a KVM host list (SUSE had none) carrying tmux.
screen stays where it is still used: the Xen console, and the EOL rhel5/6/7 and
centos6/7 lists.

The diskful service-node otherpkgs pkglist exists for every EL version and
both arches EXCEPT rhels10 ppc64le: install/rh/ has
service.rhels10.x86_64.otherpkgs.pkglist (and install/alma/ symlinks it) but
no ppc64le counterpart, while rhels5/6/7/8/9 and the netboot/ tree carry both
arches. xcat-test's SN_setup_case points a ppc64le service node's osimage
otherpkglist at install/<distro>/service.<ver>.ppc64le.otherpkgs.pkglist; with
the file absent the list resolves empty, so the otherpkgs postscript installs
nothing -- xCATsn never lands, xcatd never starts on the service node, and
every hierarchical dispatch fails with "<sn>:3001 No route to host /
Connection refused", cascading the whole *_hierarchy test suite.
Add install/rh/service.rhels10.ppc64le.otherpkgs.pkglist (xCATsn + the rh10
ppc64le goconserver, mirroring rhels9) and the install/alma symlink to it,
matching the existing x86_64 layout.

When a node's install NIC is selected by MAC (installnic=mac), the generated
netplan was invalid: it named the ethernet device the literal string 'mac' and
set its MAC match to the full pipe-delimited list of all node MACs. The result
had no valid interface, so neither the installer environment nor the installed
system came up on the network. Match the install NIC by interface-name glob in
the installer, and in the target use only the primary MAC and omit set-name
when the install NIC is selected by MAC.

The generated Subiquity autoinstall config defined no identity section. Newer
Subiquity treats a config without an identity as incomplete and stops at an
interactive "Continue with autoinstall?" confirmation, so the install never
proceeds unattended (the prompt's advice to add 'autoinstall' to the kernel
command line is a red herring -- it was already present). Provide an identity
with a password sourced from the cluster passwd table so the install runs
non-interactively.

This configures automated installation using the subiquity installer, as
documented at
https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart and other
locations on the Internet.
Installation uses the NFS export of /install, and configures the
installer to use the nocloud-net datasource, creating a per-node
directory containing the processed template file as the user-data file,
and an empty meta-data file.
Kernel and initrd files are pulled from the casper/ directory under the
package dir.
Unnecessary elements of the kernel command line have been removed in the
subiquity installer path.
Support has been added for selecting a subiquity specific default
template, as well as an updated pre-install script and some minor POSIX
shell compliance fixes for the getinstdisk script.
