For the first time i am trying to create a windows guest with koan - 
Its quite possible i missed something but this is the result from koan.
I am using the latest 1.4 of koan and cobbler
# koan --virt --image=win-xp --server=192.168.11.1

ISO or Image based installation, always uses --virt-type=qemu
no virt-type specified, auto-selecting qemu

libvirtd (pid 2313) is running...

using qemu hypervisor, type=qemu

It does appear to be a missing import.    Perhaps some weird Python 
interpreter thing allowed the utils to "just work" as the parent 
module had already imported it?   Really that shouldn't happen.
Ultimately though, you probably want the cobbler mailing list for 
stuff like this -- https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
I'll fix it.
looks much better now -
# koan --virt --image=win-xp --server=192.168.11.1
- ISO or Image based installation, always uses --virt-type=qemu
- no virt-type specified, auto-selecting qemu

- running: /bin/mount -t nfs -o ro 
192.168.11.1:/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/windows /tmp/koan_6eIz11.mnt
after install completes, you may unmount and delete /tmp/koan_6eIz11.mnt
