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.
