My usual problem is that I forgot to copy that file, so it’s not there on the filesystem.
What I usually do is do an rsync of the files residing on the ISO and exclude the RPM-files to some local folder and copy the .treeinfo and .discinfo to that folder as well. Then use that folder to create a kickstart-distribution and let spacewalk/cobbler/pxe do the rest of the magic. So: mkdir /opt/distro-trees/ol7.5-x86_64 rsync -avr --exclude '*.rpm' /media/* /opt/distro-trees/ol7.5-x86_64/ cp /media/.treeinfo /opt/distro-trees/ol7.5-x86_64/ cp /media/.discinfo /opt/distro-trees/ol7.5-x86_64/ I then create or update my kickstart-distribution using the folder /opt/distro-trees/ol7.5-x86_64. Hope that helps.
