Hi

I created a new profile[1] to make a minimal install using a kickstart.

When I boot up the client, I see the profile, but after a while the
installation fails because it could not find the kickstart file in
"http://127.0.0.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/centos_64_minimal".

(1) Which URL is this? (2) Why is looking for a kickstart with the name
of the profile if I specified the name of the kickstart file:
"minimal-ks.cfg"?

Thanks

Marcelo


Check in /etc/cobbler/settings for the path to the default kickstart file.  It's usually /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/default.ks, and that may be influencing the pathing you noted above.

You can also run the following to see if cobbler will tell you what the problem is:

# cobbler validateks
# cobbler check

And if that doesn't reveal anything, perhaps rename your kickstart file to have a .ks extension, run 'cobbler sync', and then repeat the two validation commands. I don't have the source code downloaded, so I cannot verify if this is a hardcoded requirement, or not.
