Hi,

imho, you should get an url line, like

url --url http://10.173.90.168/cblr/links/rhel5u7-x86_64

I do get a kickstart file and a URL as above. The server builds but the problems is:
* 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.
* $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.
* 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


 


Do you get a kickstart file at all? What are the problems?

What with the links, where do they point to? There should be one for every distro, like

 rhel5u7-x86_64 -> /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/rhel5u7-x86_64

If you do a

"cobbler distro report --name=rhel5u7-x86_64"

What is the entry of the Kickstart Metadata line?

The metadata entry is:
Kickstart Metadata             : {'tree': 'http://@@http_server@@/cblr/links/rhel5u7-x86_64'}

Which would point to the broken links.
 

Greetings
André
