Re: [cobbler] CentOS 7 install failure
by Chris Johnson
Hi,
Don't know if this last post made it.
I've narrowed it down to something in the network_config, pre and post
SNIPPETS. I have seen bug report 1117640 however no data is missing as
in that case, I've done a cobbler system getks and all the data is
there as far as I can tell. I pulled all three SNIPPETs out and
replaced them with the proper network kickstart line and the error about
an illegal IP address string is gone. The install has other issues but
that's not this problem.
So it's something in the network SNIPPETs that is causing the illegal IP
address string error when trying to install CentOS 7.

wondering if 3.0 is ready... "enough"?

Creating local RPM repos in Cobbler.
by Michael Tiernan
I earlier reported that the instructions on the wiki page didn't work
for me.
I was going to rewrite it but I'm unsure if I should remove the
instructions there and replace them with my own or if I should create a
second page that describes the steps I've gone through.
What's the right thing to do please?

SpaceWalk/Cobblerd: ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded
by Bruce McAlister
Hi All,
I am facing a strange issue after upgrading spacewalk from v2.2 to v2.3,
I am having issues starting cobblerd which fails with the error message
at the bottom of the mail:
I came accross the following reference at RHN, but since I am not a
subscriber, I cannot view the solution:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/184053
Has anyone come accross this, or can you offer any suggestions on where
to look to debug this issue:

Operation of repo_create_stanza in 2.6.9
by Michael Tiernan
Just trying to sort out where my error originated.
Did the operation of creating local repositories *change* between 2.6.8
and 2.6.9?
I am adjusting my files but this *seems* to be a new quirk.
I am assuming it is my error but a reality check never hurts.

cobblerd.org is down
by Xicheng Chang
Guys,
Looks like cobblerd.org is down? I was trying to download boot-loaders and
failed. Is there any alternatives for boot-loaders?
Thanks,
