I have a cobbler server running openSUSE 12.1 that will deploy openSUSE 12.1.
Currently systems get dhcp then pxe boot via tftp and fail to find the install repo.
At that point I can manually specify where the repo is
(http://192.168.100.1/cblr/links/openSUSE121-x86_64)
and I'm told that there is no interface, and that the kernel may not support my nic.
Has anyone been through something like this?

A little more info:
I can connect a machine that is already booted to a working OS, get dhcp and see what
appears to be the
contents of the install DVD that cobbler imported when I open
http://192.168.100.1/cblr/links/openSUSE121-x86_64 in a
browser.

It sounds like the initrd doesn't have a corresponding module for your NIC.
What sort of machine/NIC?
I've seen this with ESX hosts in the past. If you create a VM with a VMXNET
adapter, it'll do the initial PXE boot to pull down its bootloader, which
then doesn't have a kernel module for the VMXNET out-of-the-box (because
that'd normally come with VMWare Tools).
What's the output of 'lsmod' on the running system? And if you dig into the
initrd for the distribution, does it contain an equivalent module?
Will.
