Ok,
I moved the boot.cfg that gets generated from /var/lib/tftpboot/images/ESX-5.0-x86_64/ to the root /var/lib/tftpboot/ and I get a new error of:
/images/ESX-5.0-x86_64/tboot.b00: file not found.
The only files I have in the images directory are:
[root@cobbler ESX-5.0-x86_64]# ls -l
total 2852
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1340 Feb 24 13:34 boot.cfg
-rw-r--r--. 2 root root 2833098 Feb 24 13:33
imgpayld.tgz
-rw-r--r--. 2 root root 80008 Feb 24 13:33
mboot.c32
Even though I have this in my distro:
TFTP Boot Files : {'$img_path/*.*': '/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/ESX-5.0-x86_64/*.*'}
However, I suspect this portion is actually failing because when I run cobbler sync I see this error and I think it just quits the copy from here:
processing boot_files for distro: ESX-5.0-x86_64
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
Any idea on the following?
1.) Tell the system to look for the boot.cfg in the images/ESX-5.0-x86_64 directory instead of root?
2.) Get the system to copy all necessary boot files to the images/ESX-5.0-x86_64 directory
I appreciate everyones help here, I feel like I’m finally getting somewhere…
