On an oldish machine (Dell PowerEdge SC1420, *not being used

The machine can be ssh'd into, and I've done a yum update or
two, without helping it to boot.
What is to be done?
How about, as root,
chkconfig cobblerd off
The next time it boots, cobbler won't start, so the error won't occur.
I assume you can turn off the daemon if you can run a yum update. It
that isn't true, you might have to poke around in the configuration for
cobbler to turn it off.
Run
rpm -q --filesbypkg cobbler
to find where all the files are.
