Cobbler should be installed from the spacewalk repo.

 

You need to install spacewalk-repo-release, and then install cobbler. The 
version from epel is incompatible with Spacewalk 2.3. There’s a Bugzilla for 
bumping the version up.

Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] Trouble with Cobbler Sync failing

 

I am following up to try to help anyone else that may run into the same issue. 
I'm not sure which yum repo Cobbler is supposed to be installed from but we had 
version 2.6.9 from EPEL installed. It would appear as though Cobbler should 
have been installed from the Spacewalk repo and is version 2.0.11. Trying to do 
a "yum remove cobbler" was going to yank most of Spacewalk along with it so we 
opted to try a downgrade. We ran "yum downgrade cobbler" once taking us from 
version 2.6.9 to 2.6.3. And then we ran the downgrade command again taking us 
from 2.6.3 to 2.4.4. Now our original problem is solved. Cobbler syncs 
correctly, we can add new kickstart profiles, and modify existing profiles. 
Cobbler creates the config without issue.

HTH

Did you ever upgrade spacewalk?

See https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgrade11

Within your sw web; system|kickstart|distributions do you have a distribution 
listed?

If so click on that and verify the paths

The try system|kickstart|profiles one here as well?

click on that and very the LARGE amount of stuff.

My quess is that when you look at the kickstart file produced, you will find it 
is pointing to bad/wrong dirs.
