OK, I upgraded to the 1.2.2-1 today.  I was a little concerned about 
doing this right now since we're making decent use of our cobbler server 
right now, but I figured that even if I fixed the problem I first ran 
into the bug you mentioned would probably pop up again somewhere else.

The first ks.cfg I checked after the upgrade looks good, so I'm hopeful 
that the issue I reported was fixed.

I could use a quick hint for koan 1.2, if anyone has a moment:

I used to use koan --server=cobblerserver --system=hostname --replace-self

to do a full, hands off install.  After I my recent upgrade, the line in 
grub points to the cobbler server URL, not a local ks.cfg already on the 
disk, and now I'm prompted for network settings on eth0.  How do I get 
back to the old behavior?  I didn't see any option in the koan manpage 
to revert to this.

Thanks,
Tom
