strange - as it happened on 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 for me. What OS are you on? I am on fresh CentOS-5.4 but cobbler was a dependency of spacewalk so i will try standalone 2.0 again
OK - seems to happen to me on 2.0.3
I validate the ks
# cobbler validateks -- snip -- returned: 0 Potential templating errors: Unknown variable found at line 29, column 1: '$SNIPPET('set_root_password')'
The only variable being set in there is
#set root_password = $getVar("rootpwd","")
And
# cobbler system dumpvars --name=vmtest.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx | grep rootpwd ks_meta : tree=http://@@http_server@@/cblr/links/CentOS-5.4-x86_64 rootpwd=pqa mgmt_parameters : {'from_cobbler': 1, 'tree': 'http://@@http_server@@/cblr/links/CentOS-5.4-x86_64', 'rootpwd': 'pqa'}
So i dont see why this is failing? - Anyone got any clues or where else i could look?
thanks
