Changing the kernel option to /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-5.2-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz did, in fact, fix my problem. Fedora initially complained with a retry dialog box...but selecting that...started the install as I expected... So its working for me... I really, want to thank everyone for helping me out! I would have never figured it out... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scot Floess" <sflo...@redhat.com> To: "cobbler mailing list" <cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 12:35:20 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: Using koan --replace-self problem w/ F10 and 11 - but not 9 Oh wow... I get it :) Yeah - my home network is full of top-of-the-line machines - circa 2000 ;) Hee - none of them support PAE :) Again, thanks y'all for all your help! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael DeHaan" <mdeh...@redhat.com> To: "cobbler mailing list" <cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 12:18:32 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: Using koan --replace-self problem w/ F10 and 11 - but not 9 Scot Floess wrote: > So, for my CentOS 5.2, I see the following entries: > > Kernel: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-5.2-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz > Initrd: > /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/CentOS-5.2-i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img > > For Fedora 10, I see: > > Kernel: > /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz-PAE > Initrd: > /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img > > I also see that the file > /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz exists... > > So do I need to change Kernel for Fedora 10 to be > var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/Fedora-10-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ??? > > I'd try it - but am not at home where my machines are :) Oh heck, > I'll definitely try it tonight for sure :D > > Yes you can cobbler distro edit to fix that and you should be good to go. The import code is, I think, just globbing against "vmlinuz*" so it's getting the first one it finds, when it probably should create two distros and not one in this instance. I'm guessing your machine can't do PAE and that's why you have the problem. --Michael > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ronald J.
