Hello - I've been looking at the image functionality within cobbler and
I've been having difficulty getting the instructions on PXE booting into
memtest to work (https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/MemTest).
We're running the most recent version from the devel branch.
# cobbler version
cobbler 1.3.4
build date : Mon Dec 15 10:59:32 2008
git hash : b90eca66940d602093502a5084d81d01a4d81f4f
git date : Sat Dec 13 12:04:27 2008 -0500
When I add the system with a Centos 5.2 profile and do a sync it creates
the dhcp and pxe entries as expected.
# cobbler system add --name=build-test1 --profile=CentOS-5.2-i386
--hostname=build-test1 --mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx --ip=y.y.y.y
However when I install the memtest RPM and set the client to PXE boot
into memtest I get the output below (and the same output whenever I try
to do a "cobbler sync").
# yum -y install memtest86+
# cobbler image add --name=memtest86 --file=/tftpboot/memtest86+-1.65
--image-type=direct
# cobbler system edit --name=build-test1 --image=memtest86
# cobbler system edit --name=build-test1 --image=memtest86

in write_pxe_file
elif arch.startswith("ppc"):
I've tried disabling dhcp management and I get the same error message so
it looks as though something is happening in the tftp/pxe config file
generation. Any suggestions would be greatfully appreciated!
Rgds,
Henry
