Now I'm trying a mass deployment. These new systems all have 1 CPU

The install fails on the new systems. I compared the output from
cobbler system report for the two systems and except for the obvious
differences in names and addressing, everything else is the same.
It drops down into an emergency shell right after

You can use the same profile for all systems, you just need one Cobbler
system object for each system.
You must fill network data in each Cobbler system object.
What Linux distribution are you trying to install? I suppose you are not
providing
system network setup in kernel options, in which case the installation
kernel will
use DHCP to setup network. I have already seen this non-intuitive error
message
in RHEL/Fedora installations, its root cause is that DHCP was unable to
get network
information from DHCP server after netbooting and before starting OS
installation.
