Public bug reported: Because of bug 850880 we will only see this on the ubuntu development release. However, when that bug is fixed, there is the possibility of: - user installs cobbler (and/or orchestra) - user does a netboot install and it works - user waits 3 weeks - user does a netboot install and it fails because the kernel booted from the netboot iso cannot find modules in the mirror as they've been purged due to a newer kernel version in -updates.
In IRC conversation with cjwatson at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/09/15/%23ubuntu-server.html#t12:02 , he mentions that this will not be a problem, as "we never do NBS runs on post-release pockets at the moment". Collin also said "this is sort of a bug but we could refrain from fixing it if it would make life easier" So, right now, even if we pulled from -updates, this will not be an issue. Thus, this only affects development release. related bugs: bug 850880: cobbler-ubuntu-import does not pull from -updates ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: cobbler (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-10.16-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-10-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.22.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Sep 15 08:45:27 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta amd64 (20100318) ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SourcePackage: cobbler UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2010-11-15 (303 days ago) ** Affects: cobbler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric running-unity ** Description changed: Because of bug 850880 we will only see this on the ubuntu development release.
