All,

This is awesome... I've been trying to get CentOS/RHEL/Fedora Atomic installed - had no luck. I then opted to try to install just a normal Live CD (CentOS 6.0, 6.7 and 7.0) with no luck whatsoever. I thought I followed the directions on the cobbler site - but it still failed and I needed a break as it was a long drawn out no-go scenario ;)

Appears based upon what I see here that my kernel ops may have been woefully wrong :(

Has anyone had any luck with Atomic?

Yes, absolutely. I have a current legacy PXE server running on (shudder) CentOS 4, and it works great for loading the LiveCD image. Below is the PXE menu config entry associated with it that works on the old server:

label livecd
menu label ^LiveCD
KERNEL devops/livecd/vmlinuz
APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=devops/livecd/initrd.img root=live:/boot.iso rootfstype=auto ro liveimg quiet nodiskmount nolvmmount rhgb vga=791 nomodeset rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM
ONERROR LOCALBOOT 0

It is a CentOS 7 LiveCD, built using Lorax and converted with livecd-to-pxe-boot from LiveCD Tools (also a Fedora thing).

I don't think Cobbler is generally intended to host LiveCDs over the
network -- is that something that is supported by your OS? Cobbler is
for installation primarily.
