Same steps, same error.

  

As I mentioned earlier, we'll look at images in Cobbler 2.0 over the next few weeks and get that squared away.

It is something of a minority use case so mainstream use cases will get attention, though this is in queue.

If folks would like to help work on this, that would be extremely welcome.

When i try to isntall from koan, I get at first this error

    if profile_data["kickstart"][0] == "/":

So, I add an empty kickstart and the error change to:

When I define a cobbler image the protocol gets hacked off! So I run this command:

cobbler image edit --file='nfs://192.168.41.76:/cobbler/ks_mirror/WinLite.iso' --name='windows_test_1'

then I run a report:

and the nfs:// is missing from the file field.  So I try to install anyway:

koan --server=192.168.41.76 --virt --image='windows_test_1'

and I get this:

What might I be missing?

This definitely looks like a bug and we should fix it.   If NFS is mounted consistently, a workaround might be to use the file path until you can get that sorted out.

(Daryl, remember anything about this one?)
