Yes, please let me know details and steps to reproduce this.   If you 
have any tracebacks seen in /var/lib/cobbler/cobbler.log or in the Web 
app itself, that would be helpful to see.

Templates resolving on the preservation of old variables like 
$hostname_intf0 (or $hostname_eth0, etc) and the like will need 
tweaking.   However, the code should be (and I'll audit this next week) 
set up so that a good value is set for hostname if not already so 
$hostname will continue to work.   The new templates cobbler will ship 
with have stuff to set up the networking aspects surrounding these 
automagically, so they would be a good resource to consult.

Thanks!
