Hi,
* The import has reports an error or does it? I am not sure and that
is the problem it is not clear enough on there being an error when
importing from the DVD.
I don't think that there was an error.
* $yum_repo_stanza does not work for my kickstart. It is build into
cobbler but I could not find a clear way of debugging why it would
not generate the entries in my kickstart file to point the newly
build server back to the cobbler server for OS rpms.
I see. This is a bit confusing. yum_repo_stanza is for additional repositories during
anaconda installation. E.g. I have EPEL in the repos variable in my profile and install
packages from there in my kickstart. You can add the "Repo" parameter in your
profile for that. See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#repo
There is also yum_config_stanza in the %post section, which configures the base
repositories on your installed system. For this to work, you need to set
yum_post_install_mirror to 1 in /etc/cobbler/settings.
* The third problem is that the import of the DVD made symlinks but
broken ones.
/var/www/cobbler/links
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 27 13:30 rhel5u7-x86_64 ->
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/rhel5u7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Feb 27 13:30 rhel5u7-xen-x86_64 ->
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/rhel5u7
I don't understand that, actually. I guess the correct target would be
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/rhel5u7-x86_64?
Greetings
André
