Hello, I have encountered this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=817116#c2 , where during PXE install I get the following error:
"ERROR: The following problem occurred on line 0 of the kickstart file: Unable to open input kickstart file: Could not open/read file:///tmp/pre_install_network_config" The above bugzilla page advises to use "old-style" networking in order to bypass this bug. I think that old-style networking just means not defining the MAC address of the system, is that correct? By not setting the MAC address the kickstart says it is using "old-style". This does result in the pxe install working fine. Which is good. The problem is that now my systems don't have MAC addresses set and are not being assigned the IP that I specified with --ip-address when defining the system, the DHCP server is just handing out the next available IP. Also no pxe file (/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg) is being created that corresponds with the MAC address of the system (obviously sense it is not aware of what the MAC should be). Also, not sure if this is related, but I have set "pxe_just_once: 1" in /etc/cobbbler/settings, but this seems to have no affect, and the "netboot_enabled" is not being set to false after the first PXE. Versions: Cobbler version 2.2.2. Scientific Linux 6.1 Thanks for any advice anyone can provide.
