I have been using cobbler 1.6.6 for my vmware esxi 4.0 CentOS 5.4 i386 installs with no problem. I imported the i386 5.4 DVD and created a kickstart template for all of the servers I have setup.
Now I am trying to do the same thing for the 64 bit version of CentOS 5.4 within a vmware guest, the install makes it to the boot menu, but once I make a choice and proceed with the install I get prompted for the TCP/IP configuration. Once I put that information in the install proceeds unattended.
It looks like the DHCP assignment for the installer is failing, but I am not sure where to check to verify that is indeed the problem or if it is something else.
Could someone help point me in the right direction.
Thanks, David
I would be glad to try and help you out, but I will require a bit more info.
Are you using cobbler to manage DNS and DHCP?
If so, have you run a cobbler sync after adding the new system entry to regenerate the DHCP and DNS info?

Kelsey,
Thanks for the offer.
I am only using cobbler to manage DHCP, as I am using PowerDNS with a MySQL backend and haven't found time to investigate cobbler/PowerDNS integration.
As for running cobbler sync, I use both the CLI cobbler sync and the sync "button" that is available via the webUI. In this case I believe I used the webUI to do the sync, after having found an error with the dhcp configure for the target subnet.
I did not however run it after adding the new system.
