You are right, regressions like this happen because of lack of resources
for proper testing.
Also, it's quite complicated to test all possible configurations.

From my years of using cobbler, I know the ML is a treasure trove.
So,
after posting my own Q, I searched the ML. Chris Johnson's Kickstart
syntax error post was right there. After reading through it, JMass'
pointer:
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/pull/1479
gave me an idea to try. Indeed, after deleting the #set $gateway =
$idata["gateway"] line
cobbler system getks --name=... worked for all test nodes.
Sigh... Some kind of CI should be used for this type of things.

I have been using a ACER AspireONE D257-13685 netbook running CentOS 6.6
as my portable kickstart server for more than a year successfully. This is
because I work in different datacenters and a highly portable kickstart
setup is very desirable.
I have the following in the /etc/yum.repos.d:
[root@kicker yum.repos.d]# ls
CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-fasttrack.repo CentOS-Vault.repo
epel-testing.repo mirrors-rpmforge
mirrors-rpmforge-testing
CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-Media.repo epel.repo
home:libertas-ict:cobbler26.repo mirrors-rpmforge-extras rpmforge.repo
So, whenever there is a new cobbler release, the netbook will have it.
Earlier today, I did yum update on the netbook. After that I did a couple
test kickstart and soon observed failures. As usual I did the cobbler
system getks --name=... as a first check to see if the kickstart is
rendered or not. Immediately I got:
[root@kicker ~]# cobbler system getks --name=sc2u0n0
# This kickstart had errors that prevented it from being rendered correctly.
# The cobbler.log should have information relating to this failure.
No. The /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log isn't helpful at all. So, with
divide and conquer, by commenting out different sections in the kickstart
template, I soon concluded that the pre_install_network_config is the
culprit.
I even copied over the latest pre_install_network_config
<
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/blob/master/snippets/pre_install_netwo...
from the project's github master. Then put it in
/var/lib/cobbler/snippets. No go.
Luckily, I have another cobbler server for my office LAN, which retrieves
cobbler from epel, so it's still on 2.6.3. Copying over its
pre_install_network_config, then cobbler system getks --name all worked
again.
I then tried to review the difference between the two,
pre_install_network_config.org is the one that came with 2.6.8. But I
couldn't see why the one that came with 2.6.8 would fail the Cheetah
parser.
Would appreciate any hints.
