Hey,
I think I might have forgotten to send this patch to the ML:
Could this one be included for 1.4.3 please (branch master-bugs, git://bender.newnewyork.nl/cobbler)? https://bender.newnewyork.nl/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cobbler/.git;a=commit;h=a4faf0...
Thanks!

As Dave Hatton pointed out on IRC, this re-breaks DNS enumeration stuff (it appears I was working on an old branch at that time), so I reapplied it: https://bender.newnewyork.nl/git/gitweb.cgi?p=cobbler/.git;a=commit;h=64ed5d...
If this is too much of a hassle, I can rebase it, but that'll have to wait till later this week then.

Applied to devel and master branches, thanks.
Apparently git is a little annoyed with trying to cherry-pick external content, so if you really want to, you can cherry-pick your own commits between your master and devel branches, then I could just do a couple of merges.
Not important though, it's settled :)

IIRC, you can setup Jasper's repo as a remote using git remote add jasper <url>, and then git fetch jasper <branch>, which will not apply the changes, just fetch the remote data.
Then, cherry-picking the commit should be easy (since the refspec actually exists in the local tree).
Kind regards,

Yeah, I already do this. All it is is you can't cherry-pick merge commits because they contain no content -- you have to cherry-pick the actual commits.

FWIW, I'm seeing the same thing on Fedora 10.
Really, this should be fixed in pykickstart/anaconda.

Yes, it should... let's make sure there's a bug open on that.
Meanwhile, cobbler is a glue app. Really all system management apps are just varying levels of glue, so we have to make things work even when they don't :)

I'm running into a few problems using the built-in method.
First, we were running into this bug with RHEL4.6 kickstarts: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?&id=385161
Not sure if we would want to try and correct that or handle it in some way, but depends on how gluey mpdehaan wants to make Cobbler :) We're currently just using our own snippet which wget's the bootstrap file from the RHN server and executes it, which works flawlessly.
Second, when a system is registered, it shows up as the name "unknown" in Satellite, despite having the --hostname set. As far as I can tell, this is due to the fact that the network service isn't restarted after the post network config, the "hostname" command isn't run, and/or the IP has no reverse lookup set in our DNS. I'm betting adding a "hostname $hostname" to the post config snippet would fix this, but I wanted to ask before playing with this to see if it's (probably) something I'm missing or doing wrong.

So basically the config file layed down for /etc/sysconfig/rhn is syntatically wrong and it blows up? Yeah that is not something I'd want to address in Cobbler. It's not the right place. Teaching old versions of Anaconda new tricks? Yes, because that's the only place we can do that.
For registration questions, and this one, I'd highly recommend spacewalk-list, which is the upstream list for Satellite, rather than cobbler list.

It's syntactically correct, but there was a regression in up2date for RHEL4.6 that broke things

Yeah, found the problem. The system needs to be able to resolve itself when registering, so adding entries to /etc/hosts does the trick. I'll probably just write a quick & dirty snippet myself to address that.

Then including a newer up2date could unbreak you until the trees themselves were properly fixed. I'd say do that before registering.

As a more general issue, having a snippet that adds to /etc/hosts the IP and hostnames for a system record would be quite useful.

Hello,
I am setting up a Fedora 10 server to install Windows using Cobbler. We already use the server to install Linux. I have followed all the instructions on https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/RisLinux But the windows profile does not appear in the PXE boot menu of the client machine. I only see the Linux profiles.
I am unable to find troubleshooting tips on the web. Is there a web site that can help with troubleshooting?
Thanks, Anu Ramachandra

Hi, I'm the contributor who sent in the ris-linux patches. When you do "cobbler profile list", do you see your windows imported there? How did you import the windows cd?
I do not see the Windows profile when I run 'cobbler profile list'. This is how I set it up -
mount /dev/cdrom /media cobbler import --mirror=/media --arch=x86_64 --name=WindowsXP
cobbler created /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/WindowsXP-x86_64
Thanks, Anu

So, do you see the windows distro when you execute "cobbler distro list"? If not, the CD is not importing correctly. RIS support is very limited currently, and has only been tested with Windows XP i386. The way I coded it, it may not like the x86_64 version at all (and not having media for that, I can't test it).
In the meantime, remove the /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/WindowsXP-x86_64 directory, re-run the import, and send the output from the import command.

My bad, in my head I meant "RIS support in Cobbler is very limited" :)
