Bryan,
Thanks for the response!
Alas this isn't a netboot problem - although at first glance I thought you were
correct. Unfortunately, I'm watching my VM reinstall itself again :(
It's almost like I "koan --replace-self" but that's not what I told it
to do. In fact, this is what I executed:
koan --server=cobbler --system=centos-workstation --virt
I literally see the VM install itself, bootloader installs then the VM shutdown and is
started up again and its as if I initiated the original " koan --server=cobbler
--system=centos-workstation --virt"
Flossy

Subject: Re: [cobbler] Using KOAN to install a VM under CentOS 6.4 using
CentOS Xen...it installs over and over again
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).
