Yep...PEBKAC. I just wanted to let folks know, after reviewing the
configuration, making changes, and testing, I found the issue. It
turns out that somehow, in manually moving data back and forth between
work and home (where I had the problem), I ended up with the centos5-*
profiles pointing to non-existent centos51-* distros. The interesting
thing is, the centos5-* profiles and distros would edit via the WebUI
and CLI, but the FC equivilents would trigger the problem. And then,
even after going through, deleting first the centos5 related
distros/profiles, going on to the FC8 and finally down to fc9-i386 and
then nothing, I continued to get the errors when doing the `cobbler
sync`. After that, I restored, and continued to investigate things in
/etc/cobbler, and only when I stopped the daemon for the upteenth
time, edited the profile files manually, and restarted, did the error
go away. Strange, but I am finally able to do installs of a couple of
machines.
BTW... 'cobbler check' did not see this inconsistency. Guess at some
point, I may want to reproduce this environment to get the error, then
write some enhancements to help find problems like this.
