Can a 2.4 cobbler server replicate from a version 1.2.5 cobbler master?

What about the other way round?

No, I do not believe it would work either way due to the fact that there were some pretty major changes in 1.4/1.6 in the storage format (YAML to JSON) plus many other additions over the years. Cobbler should still upgrade any .yaml files in the /var/lib/cobbler/config.d directories to JSON, so your best bet would be to build a new server and copy things over to see if they'll be updated, and you can manually rsync the /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror directory to the new system.

Frankly, it would probably be easier just to start from scratch and write a python script to move any systems you might have over.
