Hello All, I am starting using Cobbler. I have Memtest and DBAN working correctly on my system but for the life of me cannot get Fedora to boot into an install wizard. I have tried Importing a Fedora 20 DVD and mirroring Both Fedora 18 and 20 from mirrors.kernel.org All end with Warning: Could not Boot Warning: /dev/root does not exist My kopts are as follows: repo=http://192.168.XX.XX/cblr/links/Fedora-20-x86_64/ stage2=http://192.168.XX.XX/cblr/links/Fedora-20-x86_64/LiveOS/squashfs.img I am out of idea's on how to fix this.

I think the issue is that dhcp is failing, so your install can't
download anything.
This seems wrong: ksdevice=${net0/mac}?

I have got this exact same error message sometimes when provisioning
Fedora 20
and RHEL 7.0. Althought the error message is completely non-intuitive,
usually the
root cause is that system fails to setup network via DHCP.

Yes adding ksdevice=link got me up and running but that might not have

I didn't do a find/xargs/grep for version_tuple! Drat, bad
troubleshooting. But in any case, even converting that file to
YAML doesn't seem to help, I just get more errors.
Another interesting thing, the format of /etc/cobbler/version in
2.6.3 is not in YAML either.
Whatever. This is only affecting the Web console, so I can stay in
business while I stand up 2.6 on a new server and replicate.

[cobbler-devel] web directory clean-up
I'm mounting /var/www/cobbler from NFS. It's Netapp, so there's a '.snapshot' directory. 'cobbler sync' wants to remove/clean-up this directory. Nothing happens, as .snapshot is read-only, but there's a noticable delay as the command runs. At first blush, the change is simple: whitelist the directory in action_sync.py. However, I'm not a fan of this approach because a version upgrade could lose this change. More preferable, I believe, would be a file with whitelisted directories. Thoughts?
