Hallo, I've been using cobbler 2.6.9 and would like to check if this
behaviors is expected.
Basically, there is a system with associated kickstart file (added via
systems – general – kickstart) and clicking on “view kickstart” all
looks well. But once the server boots and hits the cobble, installation
fails since kickstart file cannot be found.
Then the line ks=http://<cobbler-server>/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/<server>
ia added to the end of “append” in the file
/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/<server-mac> and this resolves the
installation problem.
Also each time a system is updated and saved via web interface, the
ks=http://<cobbler-server>/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/<server> is gone. Is
this all expected?
Another thing is with kickstart file associated with a profile.
For example, the command “cobbler profile report –name=<profile_name>”
shows line:
Kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/sysadmin_default.ks
… and when system boots and profile is selected from the menu,
installation fails, I guess because “ks=” is missing from the file
/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default.
Thank you.
Zarko
