it is because of the "Netboot Enabled" flag in cobbler.

After the node begins its kickstart either change netboot enabled to false (unchecked) in GUI or run the following command:

cobbler system edit --name=<hostname> --netboot-enabled=0

That should fix it for you.

Make sure you do it AFTER it begins PXE (so during DHCP stage is fine, right after it gets its IP).

All,

I'm somewhat confounded by what I'm seeing when using KOAN.  I have a machine running CentOS 6.4 and installed CentOS-Xen using para virtualization (my hardware on this box doesn't support full virtualization)...

I had an old VM I created under CentOS 5.9 Xen which I migrated over to this new machine and it runs fine...

However, I am trying to spin up a new VM and what I see happening is the install proceeds as expected (again using KOAN).  I see in VNC when the boot loader installs and then the VM attempts to reboot and run...  What it does next is not expected:  the install proceeds again...and this continues forever...  Once it reinstalls, it reboots and reinstalls again...

This all works fine under CentOS 5.x - so it could be Xen 4.2 or it could just be me :)  Which, BTW, CentOS-Xen is 4.2 I believe.

Thanks ahead of time...
