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
