reposync fail after downloading rpms
by Gregory Matthews
Hi...
I'm trying to get cobbler to sync the new RH Oracle Java repo. I have a
suitable key/cert pairing that allows me to access the repo and I can
create a repo in cobbler with the key, cert and cacert file in the yum
options as normal.
when running a reposync, it downloads all of the rpms as expected but
then fails to pull the repomd.xml file with an error related to key/sig:
Tue Jan 23 15:08:46 2018 - DEBUG | received on stderr:
Tue Jan 23 15:08:46 2018 - INFO | Exception occured: <class
'cobbler.cexceptions.CX'>
Tue Jan 23 15:08:46 2018 - INFO | Exception value: 'urlgrabber failed to
fetch metadata from
https://cdn.redhat.com/content/dist/rhel/workstation/6/6Workstation/x86_6...
(14, \'curl#35 - "Peer reports failure of signature verification or key
exchange."\')'
Tue Jan 23 15:08:46 2018 - INFO | Exception Info:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cobbler/utils.py", line 106,

raise CX(msg)
If I try to pull that URL from the command line using the certs and key,
it works fine. That implies that it is switching to the wrong key/certs
or none at all...
we are running 2.8.2.
any clues as to why it works for the rpms but not for the metadata?
thanks
GREG

Complete path for a cobbler import of 7.4.1708 for x86_65.
by Chris Johnson
Trying to find the complete path for cobbler import of an rsync, or
whatever works, for CentOS 7.4 of the x86_64 architecture. All the
mirrors I've tried simply don't have one. There is no x86_64 subtree.
Does anyone have a complete path specification? And why isn't it the
mirrors?
Thank you.

Loading custom network drivers during kickstart
by Fabrizio Sidoli
Dear All,
I'm trying to install RHEL 7 onto an Oracle box that requires the
forcedeth network driver for the NICs. This driver has been removed from
RHEL 7 but is available in ELRepo. I have tested on a manual install and
the drivers appear to work and I'd like to implement this in cobbler.
I assume there is no way to do this other than creating a custom
initrd.img file? If this is not correct can someone please enlighten me?
Kind regards,
Fab

How do I override the PXE template?
by Jeremy Hansen
I’m trying to create a distro profile to pxeboot hosts against a matchbox (Kubernetes) provisioning host. Basically I just need hosts associated with this profile to write this to their pxelinux.cfg/ file:
timeout 10
default iPXE
LABEL iPXE
KERNEL ipxe.lkrn
APPEND dhcp && chain http://matchbox.subtraverse.intra:8080/boot.ipxe
I see /etc/cobbler/pxe templates, but I’m not quite sure how I create a new one and how to associate that new template with my system profile or distro profile.
Thanks
