Ubuntu has two installers; the gui manual method (forget what its
called) and the debian installer method.
You need to import the alt or server versions of ubuntu into cobbler
that use debian installer. The standard gui ones don't work.

Dear list,
We have problems using our new Dell Optiplex XE2 models. When I
install the OS (Ubuntu 12.04) using our cobbler server, the Xvideo
support is disabled and we required that for our applications.
I noticed that the Xvideo support *is* enabled if I simply used the
pre-installed Ubuntu 12.04 in the Optiplex units. However, using this
"factory" Ubuntu is not an option --I need to be able to reinstall the
machine using Cobbler at any given time.
After much investigation, I decided to install an Ubuntu 12.04
version provided by Dell [1], as indicated here [2] (see "Installation
Instructions" below). However, I'm unable to import this image to
cobbler, no matter how I tried. It seems like this is not a full
Ubuntu image, but I was wondering if I could "add the missing pieces"
using the working Ubuntu 12.04 image already in our cobbler server
without losing the customizations made by Dell. Does this even make
sense? Is there any way of importing such an image in Cobbler?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
