I also meet the bug and fixed it.
before you import iso or CD
you modify
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/modules/manage_import_signatures.py
for distro in distros_added:
if distro.kernel.find("ks_mirror") != -1:
repo_adder(distro)
self.distros.add(distro, save=True)
else:
self.logger.info("skipping distro %s since it isn't
mirrored locally" % distro.name)
add a line :
self.distros.add(distro, save=True)
check the link
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/commit/ee10bc84032c8377d86b431c45899fddd14c8d7f
then restart cobbler and work well.
