Hi again,
Im still fighting to get it all working! Puh!
Conclusions so far (could be useful for you developers to know about) from a cobbler beginner.
- Wow, so difficult to get the latest version up and running on RHEL6.
No RPMs with 2.1.0, still stuck with the 2.0.10 version. - Anyone know how to get 2.1.0 in on RHEL without dependency problems?
- cobbler get-loaders failed. Seems to exist a bug id when trying to
pull the files from the web behind a proxy. I downloaded the files with wget. A time killer trying to get cobbler get-loaders
- cobbler add distro for RHEL6 fails,
.... found content (breed=redhat) at /v ... ... Exceptions occured: ... Also a known issue. Some thread indicated a missing https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/482
So, I really appreciate the time you developers have put into Cobbler. As a new user that need to get Cobbler up and running on RHEL6, serving RHEL6 and other distros/versions, this trip has been time consuming and has really lead to frustration.
Any clues/hints to get things to work and get a solid/stable setup is VERY appreciated, I know Cobbler is the right choice for our business.
Regards, Daniel

Thanks guys!
I got it working, the main problem was that the local repo wasn't correct setup for the ha repo ( as pointed out in this thread required for fence-agents).
Thanks alot again for excellent assistance!

Thanks Tim, stupid question: What repo should I use solve the fence-agents dependencies? Hand picking the packages seems time consuming...
You could try doing yum info fence-agents --enablerepo=* and see what it returns. You might have to do disable specific repositories for this to work.
Any package required by the version of cobbler in EPEL should be present either in EPEL or in one of the RHEL repositories.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to RHEL 6 (and CentOS 6 isn't out yet) so I can't tell you specifically where you'd find it.
It actually comes from a couple of satellite channels. Next stable release I'm going to remove the dependency. Cobbler degrades properly when the package isn't there, so it really shouldn't be a dependency.

I've got it working. I'm just starting to use it. I'm going to start sending in patches for it to work and to fix the freebsd support we added awhile ago. You won't be able to use it in the current release. Things changed in the rhel6 version like the location of tftpboot. That's honestly the only real change I can remember from setting it up last night. Anyway stand by and in the mean time just don't use rhel6. Use something that you know works.
