I removed the CentOS distro, profile, and all systems using CentOS, since that
was the distro that kept getting built. I then imported RHEL5u5 and added a
system called rheltest55. When I pxe boot rheltest5u5, it STILL claims to be
booting CentOS. I looked a little deeper and it seems that Cobbler is not
updating the tftpboot directory correctly.

Cobbtest is the old name for the same system. I deleted that system and created
rheltest55 using the same MAC address.

I mounted the iso to /mnt and used "cobbler import --path=/mnt --name=RHEL-5.5

Umount /mnt, delete the 5.5 distro, restart cobblerd, and then redo the
mount/import.
I have seen this issue (a few months back) where cobblerd for whatever reason
still sees the old ISO filesystem despite the files not actually being there.
It seems to have been an issue with systemd, so if you're on F17 that could be
the problem.
