Hi,
I'm pretty new to Cobbler and am trying to debug a problem with a configuration
that was done by another person awhile ago.
Whenmuch I run:
cobbler system getks --name="WS01"
I am getting:
[root@cobbler rcp]# cobbler system getks --name="WS01"
# This kickstart had errors that prevented it
So, my adventure has yielded some interesting results.
I've been putting debug instrumenting/tracing statements into the code
as I go along and I've found out that indeed the code in pxegen is the
jumping off point for this issue. (N.B. I use my initials MCT to mark my
debugs and the first thing I
Hi Michael,
which version is this? 2.6? Your sync output is indeed incomplete. The
interesting part is right before "copying files for distro" (which is already
handled by a different code branch). You are missing a lot of output there,
e.g. "copying distros to tftpboot", "copying images", "gen

It is and that's legal. It still generates the correct DHCP information
(which works properly.) (And yes, I've tried it without now too.)

Are you sure static was not ticked for ip on the interface ?

Hi Michael,
thats a bit strange, as you should at least get some error message. Was that a
full cobbler sync output you posted? There should e.g. at least be a
'generating PXE configuration files' output. Which version of Cobbler are you
using? cobbler distro list, cobbler profile list & cobble

This is the problem, no MAC based files are being created.
I'm sure it's something that will be obvious once it's found. :(

Check next_server in /etc/cobbler settings, restart xinetd, add -v (or
-vv or -vvv) to /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file, what is in
/var/lib/tftp/pxelinux.cfg? Is there a file with the mac address in this
dir? Check logging in /var/log/messages... All this should give you an
idea of what is going on.

I'm sorry, maybe I'm dense. I'm obviously saying the wrong thing here
because the tftp server selection doesn't change this. (I've tested it too.)
When the target

Okay, here's what I'm running into now...
I have a system that I just rebuilt as my host server. Everything built
without a hitch.
However, now, I've added a distro, two profiles, and a system.
The system definition ends up in the dhcp config file but the sync
process does NOT build the PXE boot

Yeah, sorry, that's not the problem I'm running into.
I'm assuming that there's a point in the 'sync' process where cobbler
goes through the list of systems looking for conditions to trigger it

Michael,
It looks like you are having it manage your DHCP for you. Are you sure that
your /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template file is creating the correct template/output
for your /etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf file? If you are editing your
/etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf file directly and/or manually, then that confi

I've got a single system in my cobbler instance and it *should* prepare
the tftp stuff for the pxe boot but I'll be darned if I can se
