If that's your kickstart wrapping the network line and not the mail reader, that would be it. Syntax errors in a kickstart file can make a kickstart go interactive. Try "cobbler validateks" and see if it gets anything. I also see that your password info is not escaped. Remember Cobbler uses kickstart templates, not kickstarts, so you can't just pass things in verbatim. I'm not sure if you were sharing the contents or the template or the results of "cobbler profile getks --name=foo" but that's something to start with. > What's wrong this ? > > > Thanks > Paras. > _______________________________________________ > cobbler mailing list > [email protected] > https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler > _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
