I think it is due to ESX4 install CD doesn't follow the standard Fedora/RHEL directory structure,
so the cobbler doesn't know how to create the distro/profile,
anyway, you can create the distro/profile yourself manually, be sure to give the correct initrd and vmlinuz which can be found in the ESX ISO imange.

Hello All,
 
Could someone give me an example of how one would import VMware ESX4 into cobbler? A regular import copies the files from the mounted iso image, but does not create distro / profile information. Perhaps I missed a step.
 
There really is not much information on the web. Just a brief step by step is fine. (and perhaps the rough syntax?)
 
I would really be grateful for the information.
