Re: [cobbler] Migrating from 2.2.3 to 2.4.0

Sounds like cobbler isn't finding the kernel/initrd paths as specified in the distro configuration. When that happens, cobbler will ignore them silently - not the best way to handle it but that's the way it's been since 2007. On Fri, Jan 10, 2014 at 1:46 PM, Newman, Stuart J. (GSFC-444.0)[HONEYWE

You can remove the $yum_repo_stanza and $yum_config_stanza lines and write your own snippets. In 2.4.0 I added the repo data to the variables available in the kickstart template, so you should be able to reference them directly. The variable name is $repo_data, and is an array of dictionaries repr
