[cobbler] Any luck with Debian 9.4?

Has anyone had any luck getting Debian 9.4 to install from CentOS-based Cobbler? Cobbler import works fine, it adds 3 options to the PXE menu, but the installer asks for the path to a CDROM when it's run, and I'm not sure what kernel parameters to specify that an NFS mount should be used as the

[cobbler] Re: Complete path for a cobbler import of 7.4.1708 for x86_65.

If all you want to do is important CentOS 7.4 to cobbler, then all you need to do is mount the DVD to a directory and cd to it, then: cobbler import --name "centos_7.4" --path `pwd` If I remember right, Cobbler import fails silently if you don't give it a name and an import path. If all you

Um, uefi and legacy boot systems are basically cats and water. If your system is down loading pxelinux.0, then it's not getting the efi file it needs. Why are you trying to boot efi? I just barely have it working under centos at work; I don't recommend it unless you have to for an nvme drive or

[cobbler] Re: How to Change the boot Device order after a PXE installation of Virtualbox VM

I don't work with VMs very much, but unless Virtual Box has some kind of special API that allows you to connect to it and adjust "BIOS settings" the answer is probably No. Setting things like boot order or booting to a specific device requires systems support from the manufacturer, in my

[cobbler] CentOS - cobbler reposync not working?

Has anyone ever gotten "cobbler reposync" to work under CentOS 7.3? I've imported the major Ubuntu distributions, 12, 14, and 16, but I can't get cobbler to successfully mirror the Ubuntu repo. I get "waiting for /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/Ubuntu-12.04.2-x86_64 lock since 20 seconds at

[cobbler] Signature for Ubuntu 16.10?

Hey all - does anyone know what's involved with getting or creating a signature for Ubuntu 16.10? The whole reason we even use Cobbler here at work is because it imports Ubuntu without a fuss most of the time. I can't seem to do that with 16.10 yet. I realize 16.10 isn't on the LTS list yet -

[cobbler] Re: Cobbler pxe boot and kickstart from trunk port

I saw your first email, but I don't know what you mean by a trunk port. I figured it was outside my knowledge right now so I stayed quiet. I use Cobbler in a pretty simple default setup with a manually managed DHCP server, so my environment is different than yours too. On Oct 31, 2016 8:59 PM,

So, I'm still kinda new to sys-admining (I've been doing devops stuff in CentOS for about a year and a half at my company), but we have a setup at my work that I think you might find relevant to your issue. At work, we have a Production network that is served by the PXE menu. It exists in a

[cobbler] Re: PXE/DHCP issue on cobbler

Well, I don't know about the Cobbler crash, but I do know that I specify an adapter in my dhcpd config, and it is therefore in my Cobbler template: DHCPDARGS="eth0"; You also need to make sure your eth0 has the same subnet mask as your dhcpd config. I hope someone else has better input. On Mar

Re: [cobbler] Install program from source tar

Yes - you should be able to simply put any bash commands you want to run after the installation is finished in the "%post" section of the kickstart file. It's helpful to set up some logging of it so you can analyze after the fact what it did and didn't do. %post --interpreter /bin/bash #Install

Re: [cobbler] Has anyone successfully imported an Atomic image and used KOAN to install a VM?

Hey Scot, I have a working CentOS 7 livecd and didn't need to edit the kickstart, just the kernerl parameters. See below from my query to this list about a month ago. Maybe it will help. It worked after I tweaked it - I had to add the kernel parameter "root=live:/boot.iso" to the PXE config

[cobbler] Using "cobbler import" on LiveCDs?

Hello everyone - I'm trying to find resources on how to have Cobbler correctly import a LiveCD. Does anyone have any links I can look at? Does Cobbler even support this? I've tried manually editing the PXE menu with a known-good-working configuration from an old pxe server, and a test system
