It needs to go in a directory I came up with to put the root image and required files. It is under your install path, for me, that is /install, so you need to put listener.py at /install/image/x86/installer_files

Also make sure to make listener.py executable:

chmod +x listener.py

stateless image

This is the harder part. The images I have were built for IBM HS20, HS21, and HS22 blades. If you have other hardware, you may be able to use an existing kernel you have and update the kernel modules in the images I created. If that doesn't work, you'll need to create your own images. Since I don't have any notes on how I created them, I'll wait until someone needs help doing that to figure it out again (send a message to the vcl-user list). The short answer is to look at the xCAT docs on building a stateless image for your hardware. These images default to using eth0 as the installation NIC. To use a different NIC, set 'installnic' in the noderes table to the desired NIC. The root image contains the partimage and partimage-ng binaries.
