I'm kickstarting Centos 5.4 with cobbler-2.0.11. if I have only one external repo in my profile, kickstart correctly applies network config for eth0 (satic IP). However, if add another external repo to my centos 5.4 profile (cobbler profile edit), kickstart always shows network config dialog even tho eth0 is configured with static IP? If I remove the lastly added external profile (only one stays) kicstart correctly assigns static IP address to eth0.
How do I make sure that regardless of the number of external repos in a profile, kickstart applies correct settings?
Thanks.
Hi George,
When you compare the kickstart files generated, do you see any differences between your two tests? (click on the kickstart link beside the system you're using for testing)
Can you send me a diff of the two if you are seeing a change?

Hi James,
unfortunately i didn't save those anaconda generated kickstarts. I combined all my dependencies into one external repo as a workaround.
I'm currently busy but will repeat the tests and will let you know. Thanks for responding.

Hi George,
You should also be able to extract the kickstarts from cobbler via the web portal / http server, without having to do any re-install. I suspect there is something in the seeding process that might be generating a incorrectly formatted file, which anaconda is miss-interpreting, resulting in your installation problem.

Hi James,
Thanks, didn't know. Just checked the web portal and browsed directories, I could only see files in aux, images and repo_mirror. Could you please point me to the link i should be looking at?
I'm just running cobbler out of the box with some basic configuration. Is this kickstart file logging configurable?
Thx.

You just need to run
# cobbler system getks --name=$system_name
to see what kickstart file is being generated for a system that you added. If you run the same command before and after editing the profile, you should be able to compare the two kickstart files.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. Actually I did not define system during my runs (help said it wasn't required) but will do that soon and will post the results.
