Thanks Philippe, Hadn't seen that first one, it made a couple of things more clear. It didn't answer my question on what the variable 'Kickstart' is supposed to be to NOT just inherit the profile-ks, but actually use the system specific ks. Right now ALL my registered systems have

And where do I find the cobbler generated system-ks within my filesystem? It does exist, since I get that using 'cobbler system getks --name={system name}', but I can't find it. it does not exist on the filesystem - its generated on the fly by cobbler as a rendered output from the ks

Exactly! So, why doesn't it use that when kickstarting? Where's the determination made? It can't be the 'Kickstart'-variable, since all my systems have the value 'inherit' here, and only some of the systems have the problem of getting the profile-ks instead of the system-ks. then what is

Patch for dealing with standalone kernel options

2010-03-22 Thread Partha Aji
So basically in a kickstart profile/distro/system record if you set standalone kernel options as Kernel Options : {'vnc': '', 'vncpassword': 'foo'} the kickstart will get rendered as /sbin/grubby --update-kernel=`/sbin/grubby --default-kernel` --args=vnc= vncpassword=foo
