[cobbler] installing debian 6 vm

[Léon Keijser]

Hi,

It's been some time ago since I last played with Cobbler so there are
certain things I've forgotten. Excuse me if I ask the obvious :)

I'm trying to install a Debian 6 virtual (kvm). I've imported a Debian 6
DVD (the first) succesfully, adjusted the generated profile to match my
network settings and pointed to the sample.seed (fresh from git) but
when I try to roll out a vm I'm getting errors:

# koan -v -y debtest01 -s 192.168.122.1

Running cobbler 2.4.0 from the fedora updates-testing repo.
