I have two Dell laptops that I'm testing Cobbler on. When I boot into

However, it never seems to respond to the PXE request for an ip.
Is there something I can look at or setting to change? I'm not sure why it

Turns out it was the Cisco switch. I replaced it with a Linksys unmanaged
one and it came right up.

Has anyone modified the network snippet to work with biosdevname? I found
bug 668, but it's been closed.
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ticket/668
I'm trying to figure out a better solution than just removing the network
snippet and hardcoding the info in my template.
Thanks.
What confuses me is that I see the DHCP request. Wouldn't that mean that
the port had been brought up?

So I'm able to get my machine built using cobbler. However, it doesn't
seem to have installed and set up puppet.
Does anyone know of any good tutorials or documentation that I can look
at? Most of the stuff I'm finding assumes you're just installing puppet,
not continuing on from a cobbler kicks

How do I copy files from the cobbler server to the kickstarted machine?
Can I do that in %post or do I have to use something like puppet?
Thanks.

If I add a system using the following, it keeps the MAC address.
cobbler system add --name=string --profile=string --mac=AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
But if I set a MAC address using Cobbler Web, it doesn't save it.
Has anyone else ran into this? Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.
I am typing
AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
In the MAC field. Which is the same place it shows up if I use the system
add command.
However, I've run into a problem. Now that I'm booting using a system with
the MAC specified, my network isn't working. I had to specify em1 in my ks
file to get the install to
Found my problem. I didn't realize that I had to add an interface before
assigning a MAC.

Should the dhcp be set to us the regular dns servers or am I doing

I tried doing it with the if statement but it kept erroring out for some
reason. I ended up getting it to work using the advance snippet setup
using per_system.

This is the snippet I'm attempting to get to work. I am calling it in
place of the autopart command in the sample kickstart.
#set $vgname = "VolGroup00"
set \$(list-harddrives)
let numd=\$#/2
d1=\$1
d2=\$3
d3=\$5
d4=\$7
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=500 --asprimary --ondisk=\$d1

Okay, I was wrong. It lists all four drives. I didn't realize it was a
scrollable list.

I have a snippet to partition my disks. In the snippet I have to name my
disks sdb, sdc, sdd, and sde.
However, when I do a df or fdisk once the system is built, my disks have
all shifted by one letter. The partitions I defined as being on sdb are on
sda instead. sdc is on sdb, sdd is on sdc an

I'm not sure if this is a cobbler or puppet issue, so please forgive the
crossposting.
I configured some repos in cobbler and set the local mirror flag. However,
when I use puppet to install packages, they don't use my local mirror.
This means that installs take forever as I'm on a slow connectio
