Have been managing CentOS system with cobbler for a while, and decided to try to add Debian to the mix.
I loop mounted the firmware-8.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso image, which is current Jessie netinst + non-free firmware, and ran import as # cobbler import --name=jessie --breed=debian --os-version=jessie --path=/mnt task started: 2016-05-25_144840_import task started (id=Media import, time=Wed May 25 14:48:40 2016) Found a candidate signature: breed=debian, version=jessie running: /usr/bin/file /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/jessie/dists/jessie/Release received on stdout: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/jessie/dists/jessie/Release: ASCII text received on stderr: Found a matching signature: breed=debian, version=jessie Adding distros from path /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/jessie: creating new distro: jessie-x86_64 trying symlink: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/jessie -> /var/www/cobbler/links/jessie-x86_64 creating new profile: jessie-x86_64 creating new distro: jessie-gtk-x86_64 trying symlink: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/jessie -> /var/www/cobbler/links/jessie-gtk-x86_64 creating new profile: jessie-gtk-x86_64 creating new distro: jessie-xen-x86_64 trying symlink: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/jessie -> /var/www/cobbler/links/jessie-xen-x86_64 creating new profile: jessie-xen-x86_64 associating repos checking for apt repo(s) adding apt repo for jessie-x86_64 Added repos for jessie-x86_64 adding apt repo for jessie-gtk-x86_64 Added repos for jessie-gtk-x86_64 adding apt repo for jessie-xen-x86_64 Added repos for jessie-xen-x86_64 *** TASK COMPLETE *** looks pretty normal. I have created a sub-profile based on jessie-x86_64 called jessie-precision670 (old dell workstation), but the only difference is the assignment of preseed file slightly modified from sample.seed as the kickstart. Then I assigned this profile to a system. When the system installs, during the hardware discovery, it shows: No common CD-ROM drive was detected. ... and I cannot proceed. This seems to be before network detection takes place. I first tried with the regular debian-8.4.0-amd64.iso image; the network driver is e1000. Any suggestions? Tony S
