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, 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. Thanks, Jim _______________________________________________
cobbler will build the kickstart starting with a template in /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/ selected by your system/profile/distro. It will then also load files from /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/ as directed by the kickstart file.
