PXE client hanged after got IP address and downloaded NBP file by UEFI boot
by mkliu28＠gmail.com
Hello. I failed to install CentOS by uefi boot mode. Could you give me
some suggestions? Thanks in advantage. Here are details:
1) Cobbler server :2.6.11 (installed on CentOS 7.2)
2) I am installing CentOS 7.2 on my Thinkpad T430 laptop (PXE client).
3) The variable "filename" in dhcp.template is default value as below:
class "pxeclients" {
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient";
if option pxe-system-type = 00:02 {
filename "ia64/elilo.efi";
} else if option pxe-system-type = 00:06 {
filename "grub/grub-x86.efi";
} else if option pxe-system-type = 00:07 {
filename "grub/grub-x86_64.efi";
} else {
filename "pxelinux.0";
}
}
When PXE client boot in legacy BIOS mode, the cobbler worked correctly
and installed OS successfully. But when I set the boot mode UEFI only,
it hanged after got IP address by DHCP and downloaded NBP file. The
last message is as below:
>>Start PXE over IPv4.
Station IP address is 192.168.1.133
Server IP address is 192.168.1.172
NBP filename is grub/grub-x86_64.efi
NBP filesize is 243679 Bytes
Downloading NBP file...
Succeed to download NBP file.
Thanks very much!

Installing a node with updates
by Personal Técnico
Hello,
I would like to configure Cobbler in any way for avoiding that a new
installed computer has latest RPMs from a repo "updates" I have added to
"Profile" in Cobbler.
By the moment, I have created a "Distro" (CentOS latest version 7-1611),
I have created two local repos (updates and extras), I have created a
"Profile" called "CentOS" and I have add that two new repos to that
profile. Now my purposse is generate a new computer with CentOS-7 but,
in case that a "base" RPM has a version in repo "updates", installs
update RPM.
For example, CentOS-7-1611 comes with kernel-3.10.0-514.el7. However, in
repo "updates" there is RPM kernel-3.10.0-514.2.2. After installing a
new node, it has kernel 3.10.0-514 and not latest version...
How can I configure Cobbler for allowing installation from updates repo
in installation node time?
Thanks!
P.S.: and sorry about my english :(

Signature for Ubuntu 16.10?
by Locane
Hey all - does anyone know what's involved with getting or creating a
signature for Ubuntu 16.10? The whole reason we even use Cobbler here at
work is because it imports Ubuntu without a fuss most of the time. I can't
seem to do that with 16.10 yet.
I realize 16.10 isn't on the LTS list yet - is that why there's no
signature?
Thanks in advance everyone!
