Public bug reported: Cobbler does not generate pxelinux.cfg files for cobbler when adding systems/profiles. For this reason, ARM Images are unable to PXE boot.
Additionally, u-boot does not support pxelinux.cfg files in the way of 01-<MAC address>. which is the standard. THis is likely to be fixed in u-boot in the future though. However, as a work around it would make sense to create a pxelinux.cfg file in the way of <MAC address in uppercase> for ARM purposes. ** Affects: cobbler (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Andres Rodriguez (andreserl) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: cobbler (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: cobbler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: cobbler (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Andres Rodriguez (andreserl) ** Summary changed: - Can't PXE with cobbler as u-boot does not support 01-<MAC> files for pxelinux.cfg + Cobbler does not generate pxelinux.cfg files for ARM ** Description changed: - ARM Images are unable to PXE boot because u-boot does not support - pxelinux.cfg files in the way of 01-<MAC address>. which is the - standard.
