I bet you have pxe_just_one set in /etc/cobbler/settings and the servers
your trying to 're-install' are configured to local boot via pxe.
Go into the webgui of cobbler and enable netboot for the system(s) your
trying to rebuild and then do a sync...

Thank you !
Now THIS is interesting ...
Just made a "discovery" that confirms my earlier expressed suspicion.
I at the same time apologize I did not not this earlier.
I change the TEST server, that is, the server where CentOS should be
installed onto. The earlier two servers I had available, that needed
a OS re-install, had still CentOS and cPanel installed, as mentioned
yesterday. ... Now, the thing is that Cobbler works just fine on this
OTHER server I am trying out right now, were I have only the OS
installed.
That must then indeed mean that the servers that have cPanel
installed are "missing" something. On those servers I had disabled a
number of services (when cPanel was active) -- all the services that
the CSF firewall security check suggested to disable. I had addressed
that question yesterday. After the server reboots, and before he
tries to find the DNCP server ... there must be some services already
running, and it seems (I speculate here), that maybe I disabled one
that's needed.
Below is a list of disabled services (taken from the list in the CSF
security check of another server). Any of these are needed to for
Cobbler (DHCP) to run?
