autoinstall file not read
by hiller
Hi,
i have a problem with autoinstall. The file does not seem to be read at all.
The system of the cobbler server:
CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 (Core)
The cobbler Version: 3.1.1
With that i try to install an ubuntu 18.04 with uefi. I do:
cobbler import --name=ubuntu --arch=x86_64 --path=/ubuntu-18.04.2
cobbler system add --name=ubuntu --profile=ubuntu-x86_64
cobbler system edit --name=ubuntu --interface=em1 --mac=4c:52:62:bb:b5:16 --ip-address=192.168.1.235 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --static=false --autoinstall=ubuntu_desktop.ks --hostname=test01
cobbler sync
The i start the desktop computer test01. The installation process always stops at the
point asking me for the disk partiotions, no matter what i write into the autoinstall file.
Even when i write a letter soup into ths autoinstall file i do not get an error. The file is in
/var/lib/cobbler/templates/ubuntu_desktop.ks
I attached it.
The only this i see are the lines in cobbler.log:
2020-03-31T19:51:34 - INFO | REMOTE generate_autoinstall; user(?)
2020-03-31T19:51:34 - INFO | REMOTE generate_script, name is preseed_early_default; user(?)
2020-03-31T19:51:34 - INFO | generate_script
Do they have a meaning?
Thank you in advance for any hint.
With kind regards, ulrich

Where is kickstart in cobbler 3.1.1?
by hiller
cobbler version: 3.1.1
OS: CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911
The problem:
Where has the cobbler option '--kickstart' gone to?
In cobbler 2.8.5 i used the kickstart option, and there was a /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts directory.
In cobbler 3.1.1 this directory is missing, and trying to include kickstarts into a cobbler configuration for a pxe boot i get:
cobbler: error: no such option: --kickstart
When i use instad the autoinstall option it does not read the kickstart file at all.
So, how can i include a kickstart into cobbler 3.1.1?
I already searched the internet, but did not find a clue.
With kind regards and thanks alot for any hint, ulrich
