Switching the 'Virtualization Method' from Paravirtualized to Fully Virtualized did the trick.

Hi,

I have setup cobbler on a Centos 6.5 virtual machine. I am planning to run an auto installation of Suse (client also setup on vm) but it failed during the download of initrd and kernel.

I followed the guide that is pretty much summed up here http://users.suse.com/~ug/cobbler.html, except that I didn't install cobbler ui. What did I miss?
