Are you sure this is a cobbler issue and not a VM issue? (such as NFS or
whatever you are using for a path).
Secondly you can do this:
Cobbler import --path=/mnt --available-as=http(or nfs)://some-url
--name=CentOS55
Personally I preferred this method:
Cobbler distro add --name=<name> --available-as=http://<myurl>
--initrd=</location of the initrd> --kernel=<location of kernel>
--arch=<arch>
The reason I prefer the second method is because it doesn't copy any
files, rather allows me to setup my own tree as I wish and simply make
cobbler aware of it.

Subject: Failure during import
Hello, all. I have a Cobbler 2.003 install on CentOS 5.5 x86_64 in a VM
(VirtualBox) that I am trying to get to import a distro. I have the
CentOS 5.5 DVD mounted, and I issue this command:
cobbler import --name=CentOS55 --path=/mnt
The import goes fine until it hangs forever (or at least overnight) on
the "createrepo" step. The cobblerd service also shut down at this
point. The disto appears to be imported in the web ui, and I can select
it and start the PXE booted install, but it shortly stops with the
Kickstart error "Unknown Url method $tree".
Any pointers for fixing whatever is broken here?
Thanks!
-Pete
