(1) Presently kernel options in cobbler are a hash and do not
preserve
order.
(2) ks location shouldn't be set if the kickstart is blank. You've
probably set it so there is a kickstart file installed.
ok thanks - it was taking the default.ks as that was set in the global
settings
(3) text and other parameters are set by /etc/cobbler/settings so you
can not have those added by default
i see yes thanks
(4) your usage of answerfile seems to imply this would be best
treated
as another cobbler breed, though we don't want
to that just for XenEnt really
ok thanks - yes i guess it is a 'breed' thing as the answerfile is the
same idea as the kickstart however its not quite the same
====
This would seem to defeat the "overriding kernel arguments" features of
cobbler if we stored them as something
other than a hash and we haven't had a need for this before now really.
Is this a problem with the multiple console lines being out of order or
something else?
the problem is that a) the order matters it seems b) the ---'s are being
appended so to form ---=None which is wrong and also i need to be able
to add a distro without initrd= as there is not one with XenEnterprise,
the start of the kernel line should look like
append Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/xen.gz
and not
append initrd=/images/Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/xen.gz
thanks
