Hi,
I have created a profile using
cobbler profile add --name=myxenprofile --distro=centos-xen-x86_64
--kickstart=/opt/guest2-vm--ks.cfg
ks file looks like:

At the client side (where I want my VM to be created), I did
koan --virt --server=cobblerserver --profile=myxenprofile --nogfx
..
But why the installation procedure is not taking X.X.X.40 and asking
me to enter ip, mask, gw and dns?
If that's your kickstart wrapping the network line and not the mail
reader, that would be it. Syntax errors in a kickstart file can make a
kickstart go interactive.
Try "cobbler validateks" and see if it gets anything.
I also see that your password info is not escaped. Remember Cobbler uses
kickstart templates, not kickstarts, so you can't just pass things in
verbatim. I'm not sure if you were sharing the contents or the template
or the results of "cobbler profile getks --name=foo" but that's
something to start with.
What's wrong this ?
Thanks
Paras.
