Has anyone else had this issue?
This is pretty common when importing distros that came out after the
version of cobbler you're running. The generic26 version is a
catch-all when there is no exact match in the importing code. It's
also required when you're using a version of libvirt (or
python-virtinst) that doesn't know the release version either.
For what it's worth, cobbler 2.4 will implement "import signatures",
which hopefully will allow updates to distro imports without having to
update the actual python code - just grab the newest signature file
(akin to virus signatures) and you should be able to import the latest
distros. I'm about 75% complete on coding that,
https://github.com/jimi1283/cobbler/tree/signature for anyone
interested in testing (do not run on your production servers!!!).
