If this is too much of a hassle, I can rebase it, but that'll have to wait till later this week then. -Jasper _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler(a)lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler

Then, cherry-picking the commit should be easy (since the refspec actually exists in the local tree).

Really, this should be fixed in pykickstart/anaconda.

I'm running into a few problems using the built-in method. First, we were running into this bug with RHEL4.6 kickstarts: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?&id=385161 Not sure if we would want to try and correct that or handle it in some way, but depends on how gluey mpdehaan wants to make Cobbler :) We're currently just using our own snippet which wget's the bootstrap file from the RHN server and executes it, which works flawlessly. Second, when a system is registered, it shows up as the name "unknown" in Satellite, despite having the --hostname set. As far as I can tell, this is due to the fact that the network service isn't restarted after the post network config, the "hostname" command isn't run, and/or the IP has no reverse lookup set in our DNS. I'm betting adding a "hostname $hostname" to the post config snippet would fix this, but I wanted to ask before playing with this to see if it's (probably) something I'm missing or doing wrong.

It's syntactically correct, but there was a regression in up2date for RHEL4.6 that broke things

The system needs to be able to resolve itself when registering, so adding entries to /etc/hosts does the trick. I'll probably just write a quick & dirty snippet myself to address that.

Hello, I am setting up a Fedora 10 server to install Windows using Cobbler.

already use the server to install Linux. I have followed all the instructions on https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/RisLinux But the windows profile does not appear in the PXE boot menu of the client machine. I only see the Linux profiles. I am unable to find troubleshooting tips on the web. Is there a web

that can help with troubleshooting? Thanks, Anu Ramachandra

So, do you see the windows distro when you execute "cobbler distro list"? If not, the CD is not importing correctly. RIS support is very limited currently,
