[cobbler] cobbler repo add problem.
Hi. Have a CentOS 6.4 running the cobbler-2.4.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm on a VirtualBox VM. As far as I can tell it's been working great. Both koan and PXE boot installs work fine. Until now. I wanted to install puppet via cobbler. I followed the following instructions for setting it up from the following web page; http://centoshowtos.org/installation/kickstart-cobbler-on-centos-server/configuring-cobbler-to-prepare-puppet/ And during the install the installer does pick up that it should try to install puppet. However the install stops at a screen claiming it can't find puppet even though there is a repo in cobbler with the puppet rpm in it. I also put the epel-release 6.8 rpm in there and tried that too. Same failure. The profile I'm using does list the repos variable as containing the name of repo I'm using. But it's acting very much like it isn't even looking in the repo. I see no other logged errors that would point to anything blatantly obvious in the configuration. What am I missing? Help appreciated. Thanks.

If they are, check the anaconda logs for repo issues. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com ___ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler

I see no repo mention in the kickstart as shown in cobbler system getks. Although I do see the expanded puppet snippet? There should be a repo statement in there grabbing the cobbler repo. Adding such a thing wasn't in the any of the instructions I saw. And the puppet_install_if_enabled snippet doesn't add it. Neither does any other snippet. This would seem to be a problem at least. Thanks for the tip. Bugs me a bit there was no mention of it in any of the instructions I found. Chris. Your kickstart template needs: $yum_repo_stanza for cobbler to replace with the configured repos. The default sample.ks kickstart template has it, and you're expected to retain it. # If any cobbler repo definitions were referenced in the kickstart profile, include them here. $yum_repo_stanza -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA DivisionFAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com ___ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
