The xCAT Genesis base image xCAT-genesis-base-x86_64-2.14.5-snap201811190037.noarch.rpm available here ( https://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/yum/2.17/xcat-dep/xCAT-genesis-base-x86_64-2.14.5-snap201811190037.noarch.rpm ) has not been updated for xCAT version 2.17.

Although there were relevant code changes introduced in [PR #7460] (https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/pull/7460) , a new RPM file has not been generated. As a result, the xCAT Genesis boot fails on newer NIC cards due to outdated drivers.

Request: Could you please generate an updated xCAT-genesis-base RPM for both RHEL and Ubuntu to ensure compatibility with xCAT 2.17? This will help address the boot issues with newer NIC cards.
