Profile Function without system Entry

[Mackell, Thomas O]

I have a small problem.
Our current Cobbler setup works fine, with the exception of one item.
With some of our servers, we have to use the buildiso to create a bootable disk.
That's works fine, with the exception of the system profile not being used by the
booting system.
It would appear that only the distro "profile"  defined  kickstart file is 
being used.
I noticed that the network devices do not get defined. Which make sense as there is no
network devices in the profile, only the system profile has the devices.
The snippet returns nothing all blanks.

My setup has the high level profile with the kickstart file having the filesystems,
software packages wanted...
The system profile would have the IP address/mac addresses, etc..
I figure I have forgotten something real basic, not sure at this point.
My first thought was to name the "system" the same as the mac address, as in
00:0d:04...  That didn't appear to work, not sure on that either, yet if I show the
rendered kickstart the devices are there as defined in the "system" entry. 
That's how I figured that the "system" entry is not getting used.

Is there a way I can supply the "system" profile from the server being rebuilt
end? Or Do I have something else not set up right.

I am running  cobbler-1.2.4-1 version, under RH V5.2 x86_64...


Thanks in advance,
