So this question goes back to the fact that cobbler removes any machine entries in pxelinux.cfg that it does not know about.
I am trying tho get this to work on a distro that is linux based but is not standard 'kickstart' - I feed the following to cobbler cobbler distro edit --name=Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0 --initrd=/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/xenserver/xen.gz --kernel=/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/xenserver/mboot.c32 --kopts="watchdog com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,tty --- Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/vmlinuz console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=32758 answerfile=http://10.160.200.21/xenserver-5.0.0/10.160.201.116-answerfile install --- Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/install.img" thing is the generated pxelinux.cfg entry looks like the below default linux prompt 0 timeout 1 label linux kernel /images/Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/mboot.c32 ipappend 2 append initrd=/images/Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/xen.gz ksdevice=eth0 lang= console=com1,tty console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 com1=115200,8n1 text ---=None ---=None answerfile=http://10.160.200.21/xenserver-5.0.0/10.160.201.116-answerfile install watchdog ramdisk_size=32758 root=/dev/ram0 Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/vmlinuz Xen-Enterprise-5.0.0/install.img ks=http://192.168.11.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/testbox in that the order of how the line is laid out is different and also there are some options added by default such as the ks location and text. Is there any way that we could get cobbler to only add what you explicitly say to the append line if you specify it? Have an option that is append= and if thats given then only add that and in the specified order? If it is then that would be a breakthrough for me thanks _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
