Do you also have the kickstart done ($SNIPPET('kickstart_done')) snippet
included in your %post section? That is the piece which notifies the
cobbler server the PXE is complete and toggles the netboot-enabled flag.

Bryan,
Thanks for the response!
Alas this isn't a netboot problem - although at first glance I thought you
were correct. Unfortunately, I'm watching my VM reinstall itself again :(
It's almost like I "koan --replace-self" but that's not what I told it
to
do. In fact, this is what I executed:
koan --server=cobbler --system=centos-workstation --virt
I literally see the VM install itself, bootloader installs then the VM
shutdown and is started up again and its as if I initiated the original "koan
--server=cobbler --system=centos-workstation --virt"
Flossy

it is because of the "Netboot Enabled" flag in cobbler.
After the node begins its kickstart either change netboot enabled to false
(unchecked) in GUI or run the following command:
cobbler system edit --name=<hostname> --netboot-enabled=0
That should fix it for you.
Make sure you do it AFTER it begins PXE (so during DHCP stage is fine,
right after it gets its IP).

All,
I'm somewhat confounded by what I'm seeing when using KOAN. I have a
machine running CentOS 6.4 and installed CentOS-Xen using para
virtualization (my hardware on this box doesn't support full
virtualization)...
I had an old VM I created under CentOS 5.9 Xen which I migrated over to
this new machine and it runs fine...
However, I am trying to spin up a new VM and what I see happening is the
install proceeds as expected (again using KOAN). I see in VNC when the
boot loader installs and then the VM attempts to reboot and run... What it
does next is not expected: the install proceeds again...and this continues
forever... Once it reinstalls, it reboots and reinstalls again...
This all works fine under CentOS 5.x - so it could be Xen 4.2 or it
could just be me :) Which, BTW, CentOS-Xen is 4.2 I believe.
Thanks ahead of time...
