ESXi 5.1 Build Fails
by Janowiak, Edward
Trying to install ESXi 5.1 via Cobbler. I get the following error during the PXE boot phase:
Configuration error while parsing /boot.cfg
Fatal error: 15 (not found)
Thank you.

pxe_just_once
by David Birdsong
Could I get some help understanding and fixing pxe_just_once?
[david@ops-1 ~]$ grep pxe_just /etc/cobbler/settings
pxe_just_once: 1
I've restarted cobbler. The system I've installed has been looping on pxe
for a few installs while I've tried a few things.
I've added:
%pre
$SNIPPET('kickstart_start')
%end
%post
$SNIPPET('kickstart_done')
%end
to the kickstart; tailing Apache logs confirms that the wget is being
called, yet the netboot setting remains to be True:
Netboot Enabled : True
Am I missing a trigger that I'm supposed to supply?

help with moving a cobbler server
by David Birdsong
I've had to give up on using ec2 for my cobbler server given that TFTPD
over VPN is a nightmare.
I'm having a hell of time moving my cobbler server over.
replicate led nowhere since it expected a bunch of rsync modules that I
didn't have installed and didn't want installed (on the original cobblerd
server.)
I've manually rsync'd over:
/var/lib/cobbler
/var/www/cobbler
/etc/cobbler
...everything is fine except for profiles. None of the profiles will list,
this returns nothing:
[root@ops-1 ~]# cobbler profile list
and yet all of the profiles are here:
/var/lib/cobbler/config/profiles.d/empty.json
/var/lib/cobbler/config/profiles.d/base-with-network-console.json
/var/lib/cobbler/config/profiles.d/test.json
/var/lib/cobbler/config/profiles.d/empty-with-nameservers.json
/var/lib/cobbler/config/profiles.d/base-with-network.json
strace on both old and new cobblerd's shows no activity on those files
during the XML-RPC call, is cobbler loading these into memory on startup?
could the new cobblerd be rejecting these profile json files?

login failed
by David Birdsong
I recently restarted my fairly new installation of cobblerd and I'm not
getting the XML-RPC error: login failed

I'm sure this is simple and possibly related to settings changes I made,
but I'm lost as to which changes affect this.
