Re: [cobbler] Reference to kickstart file is missing from /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/* files
Hi, the resolution is actually simple. The line like: ks=http://cobbler-server/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/system-to-be-installed has to be added as Kernel Options in System's General tab. ___ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler

Basically, there is a system with associated kickstart file (added via systems – general – kickstart) and clicking on “view kickstart” all looks well. But once the server boots and hits the cobble, installation fails since kickstart file cannot be found. Then the line ks=http:///cblr/svc/op/ks/system/ ia added to the end of “append” in the file /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ and this resolves the installation problem. Also each time a system is updated and saved via web interface, the ks=http:///cblr/svc/op/ks/system/ is gone. Is this all expected? Sorry, your english is a little hard to parse. Did you enable netboot/pxeinstall for the system? Doing that should generate a system specific file in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg file based on /etc/cobbler/pxe/pxesystem.template which should look like: default linux prompt 0 timeout 1 label linux kernel $kernel_path ipappend 2 $append_line The append_line will be generated by cobbler with the ks= option. -- 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

Yes, netboot has been enabled. I found resolution or work around and it is to have line like: ks=http://cobbler-server/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/system-to-be-installed ... as Kernel Options in System's General tab.

Re: [cobbler] Install program from source tar
I find it easier to put a SNIPPET to start post logging. In the kickstart:
%post
mv -f /mnt/sysimage/root/ks-post.log /mnt/sysimage/root/ks-post.log.old
$SNIPPET('log_ks_post')
[...]
The snippet "log_ks_post" contains:
set -x -v
exec 1>/root/ks-post.log 2>&1
That way every snippet after %post will get logged to /root/ks-post.log
