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>
Interesting, I've not messed much with the server kickstart file. Is
that specified for the system, or the profile associate with the system
currently?
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?
well, yes, I mean Cobbler is updating that file in /var/lib/tftpboot on
sync.
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.
Yes, something seems off. I think we need more details.
