I see the problem right there.

You should not leave things out.

Forgot to mention this,

RHEL 6.8, it doesn't matter if you run createrepo prior to importing it to
cobbler.

[cobbler] Re: RHEL7 deplyment using cobbler 2.6.11

[Kapilraj Koroth]

I finally figured out the issue. There was no problem after all. There was
a step that I did not mention prior to importing the distribution

Installed cobbler server on RHEL 6.8
Installed the latest version of cobbler from EPEL 2.6.11
Imported RHEL 7.0 and 7.2 distributions from the binary DVD.
   Loop mount the DVD.iso
   rsync it to a directory served under DocumentRoot of the apache
   Ran a "createrepo" against that directory ( I do this so that I can use
this as a repository for other servers in the network )
   Then did a cobbler import
Made a kickstart file as follows, slight changes from RHEL6

That createrepo was the problem ! I did an import before that and it worked
with all kind of kickstart files...

Sorry, bad me ..

[Kapilraj Koroth]

I can even choose not to use cobbler and re-produce this problem.

I created a kickstart file using "
https://access.redhat.com/labs/kickstartconfig/;

Stored it on a HTTPD server.

Kept the DVD.iso of RHEL 7.2 on the same HTTPD server

Booted using the RHEL 7.2 Boot DVD.

At the grub menu,

Added inst.ks=http://webserver/sources/rhel7.ks

I kept watching the access_log on the HTTPD server.

So there's your @core.  Question is, where is it coming from.  Your claimed
template doesn't have it:

%packages
$SNIPPET('func_install_if_enabled')
$SNIPPET('puppet_install_if_enabled')
%end

(func_install_if_enabled would add "func", puppet_install_if_enabled would add
"puppet")

So, what does:

cobbler profile dumpvars --name rhel-7.0-x86_64 | grep ^kickstart

report?

What is the contents of the file returned?
