Yeah, this is definitely one of the weak points in cobbler. I tend to start wrapping sections of the kickstart snippets in #raw #end raw To narrow down the location of the problem. Doing a kind of bisection seems to work okay. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane [email protected] Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://lists.fedorahosted.org/admin/lists/[email protected] Orion, When you say "wrapping sections of the kickstart snippets", which files (in which dirs) do you do that to? The error messages in the cobbler.log don't really indicate any specific files that are causing the error, and as I said, I'm new to Cobbler, so apologies for the question.
