Hi Michael – That helped tremendously.
Easily helped me track it down to one line in one of my Snippets causing the issue…. And here I thought it was something on the permission level! All is working fine now, thanks for all the help as simple as it was.

All: Well, I am making some progress. Got through the network issue, for whatever reason it appears that commenting out the next_server option in the DHCP template allows it to continue just fine which is good. Now I seem to be running into a permission problem with downloading the kickstart file, and I have not been able to gather a good enough Google search to figure out where to track this down. [root@sys1 ~]# wget http://172.19.10.200/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/sys-dev --2012-02-22 14:22:13-- http://172.19.10.200/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/sys-dev Connecting to 172.19.10.200:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 500 SERVER ERROR 2012-02-22 14:22:13 ERROR 500: SERVER ERROR. This is from a server on the same subnet. Some troubleshooting steps I have done that do not seem to have worked: I looked at the template files to see if anything permission-wise was different. Using one of the standard kickstarts that comes with Cobbler from what I remember work just fine (changed sysB to use a simple profile/default template). I matched up those permissions (in /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/) but to no avail. From Apache: 172.19.10.10 - - [22/Feb/2012:19:22:13 +0000] "GET /cblr/svc/op/ks/system/sys-dev HTTP/1.0" 500 1595 "-" "Wget/1.12 (linux-gnu)" Apache is running as apache, and all of the files in /var/www/cobbler* are owned by apache:apache. The /var/lib/cobbler* files are owned by root:root. I am still trying to track down what is causing this but I cannot seem to find it so far. All templates/snippets/profiles have only been created/edited in the web UI, never by shell or otherwise.

Particularly read the timeout info here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/NetworkIssues The portfast issue, in particular, came up a lot.

I was working with one system (let’s call it sysA) which is in a subnet 172.19.10.x. For some reason when this system boots up now it gets a DHCP address but then tftp times out and eventually boots from local disk instead of reinstalling. At the very least, from sysA (or another machine on the same layer-2 network, you should be able to use tftp on the command line and get the pxe boot file from the PXE server. Just in case you haven't tried that already. -- siddharth. _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler -- Grtz, Jörgen Maas _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
