I have an old system that is still running SL4 and cobbler 2.0.3.1
I am in the process of configuring a new server that is running SL6.2
and cobbler 2.2.3
Cobbler on the new system works perfectly and I now need to "import"
or copy the old systems, repo's profiles, etc, over to the new system.
Doing this manually by copying the files from /var/lib/cobbler/config
cause the following error when trying to restart cobbler
service cobblerd start
Starting cobbler daemon: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/cobblerd", line 76, in main
api = cobbler_api.BootAPI(is_cobblerd=True)

in deserialize
raise CX("serializer: error loading collection %s. Check
/etc/cobbler/modules.conf" % item.collection_type())
CX: 'serializer: error loading collection profile. Check
/etc/cobbler/modules.conf'
removing all the files again, cause cobbler to start properly.
I have tried using replicate, and get the following error:

Does anyone know what i am doing wrong.. or is there some other way to
move the old systems over?
