You might consider pulling release-24 from github and building some fresh RPMs via “make rpms” …

I’m still seeing the same error at boot up.

Here is my distro as it is now.

Name                           : ESX-5.0-x86_64

Architecture                   : x86_64

I have noticed this after running cobbler sync.

failed to copy file /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ESX-5.0-x86_64/mboot.c32 to $img_path/mboot.c32 for ESX-5.0-x86_64

And I’m suspecting that all files from /var/www.cobbler/ks_mirror/ESX-5.0-x86_64 should end up in the /var/lib/tftpboot/images/ESX-5.0-x86_64/ ?  I’m only seeing these files there.

[root@cobbler ESX-5.0-x86_64]# ls -l

-rw-r--r--. 2 root root   80008 Feb 21 11:09 mboot.c32

[root@cobbler ESX-5.0-x86_64]# pwd

/var/lib/tftpboot/images/ESX-5.0-x86_64

And for some reason it is still searching for /boot.cfg and not the cobbler-boot.cfg.  Where is this controlled at?
