Hello,
I read a post
<
https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/cobbler/2009-April/003838.html> that
describes the same problem I'm having trying to install CentOS 5.3 via
Cobbler.
I created a CentOS 5.3 profile, mirrored a bunch of CentOS 5.3 repos,
and the first problem I encountered was that the CentOS choked on the
kickstart file that I've been using on Fedora 10 and 11. I removed lines
from the file until it no longer complained. I got as far as the
"Retrieving installation information" right after I selected the
timezone and got an error:
"Unable to read package metadata. This may be due to missing repodata
directory. Please ensure that your install tree has been correctly
generated. failure: repodata/primary.xml.gz from
anaconda-base-2009-3211311.x86_64: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try."
I've run "cobbler sync" and "cobbler reposync" already. How do I
work
around this?
Are you running a Cobbler server on a Fedora 11 system? If so, the
createrepo commands in Cobbler 2.0 are modified to
use "-s sha" when creating the repo, so this should fix the install
problems you are seeing.
I believe going to all the install trees that have been repo-ized and
running createrepo on them again should fix your problem
for now.
Cobbler 2.0 will be out the 2nd week of September, knock on silicon.
