I traced back the problems and added all necessary information to the issue on github:
I wasn't aware that the "Import DVD" should have
created a Repo also,
I created issue 72 and 73 and I did not report on the missing Repos
but mine are also missing. The only Repo I have is the one for
updates that I added.
I also just noticed that the "OS Version" of the Distros imported
from the RHEL5.7 and RHEL5.8 DVD's was "generic26" instead of
"rhel5"
What would be the procedure to get the Repos added after the fact
without removing the Distros and reading (although I would be glad
to offer up time to test and troubleshoot this)
Regards,
Sean

Subject: Re: [cobbler] Repo problems....
Hi,
the yum_config_stanza only takes the managed repositories, so if this
list is empty, it won't output anything.
As far as I know the repository should be generated from the install
tree,
c.f. repo_finder in
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/blob/master/cobbler/modules/manage_imp...
It parses the distros for comps.xml files. Perhaps we find the bug
there.
Greetings
André
