What am I missing?
Cobbler doesn't really map to pxe in the standard way. The cobbler system name isn't exposed to pxe in the way that you are assuming. The pxe system is keyed off off the mac address only. You can put a default directly in pxe (in the normal way) pointing at the rhel54mrg profile. This will make systems boot by default into the mrg profile. -- Scott Henson Red Hat CIS Operator WVU Alum BSAE/BSME _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
