Hi List, I dont know if anyone has posted this before., but I setted up a cobbler server on CentOS65 and the command cobbler check gives no error. created a distro,profile and added a system but when I network boot the system to be installed it goes to this balck screen where it shows the client ip, dhcp /cobbler server ip MAC address of client machine and wait there without proceeding forward. At this point I dont know how to troubleshoot , what is wrong with my configuration to see that menu screen,where I can select my profile. Any help is highly appreciated. * Best Regards* *Sahibzada .Z.

Hi, No, its not necessary. If your cobbler is configured properly and your systems are configured to boot from network, you will get the default pxe boot menu. Let me know your system are able to load pxelinux.0 or not after getting the IP address from dhcp server.
