3 profiles listed- only 2 show in menu

[Dave Augustus]

Hello All,

My distro list has 2 entries but only one shows in the ks menu.

Here are the entries:

CentOS52-x86_64
CentOS52-xen-x86_64


Here is the pxe menu:
(local)
CentOS52-x86_64
rescue-CentOS52-x86_64

Here was the import command I used:
cobbler import --path=/home/repos/centos/5.2/os/x86_64 --name=CentOS52
--available-as=nfs://192.168.35.132:/home/repos/centos/5.2/os/x86_64

...and the output....

---------------- (adding distros)
- creating new distro: CentOS52-x86_64
- creating new profile: CentOS52-x86_64
- creating new profile: rescue-CentOS52-x86_64
- creating new distro: CentOS52-xen-x86_64
- creating new profile: CentOS52-xen-x86_64
---------------- (associating kickstarts)
---------------- (syncing)

the profile that is not displaying is the XEN version- why? Yes, I
checked that profile and *enable menu* is checked.


Thanks,
Dave

This is not a bug.  You can't install the Xen paravirt guest via PXE on 
baremetal, so this is expected behavior.

What you want instead is to create a new profile, one that uses a 
kickstart with "kernel-xen" in the %packages section.
