Description Kenny Tordeurs 2018-06-29 09:03:03 UTC
Description of problem:
A generated iso via Satellite 5.8 using `cobbler buildiso --iso=/mnt/satellite/cobbler_isos/generated_06202018.iso` is not recognized by   as a bootable media

Some notes:
- A normal RHEL7 ISO works fine
- When above generated cobbler iso is used on a VM or a 10G ,11G ,12G ,13G Dell Server , the ISO is recognized but when the same ISO is mounted on Dell 14G servers the ISO is not recognized.
)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -qa | grep cobbler
cobbler-loaders-1.0.3-1.el6sat.noarch
cobbler-2.0.7-72.el6sat.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a system DELL PowerEdge R640 and try to use the generated iso from cobbler
2. Try to use the iso via virtual media
3. 

Actual results:
Boot failed from virtual media with cobbler iso

Expected results:
Boot to work with cobbler iso

Additional info:

Cobbler buildiso seems to be support for Satellite versions above 5.5:

Snippet:
~~~
Cobbler buildiso is not supported for Satellite versions 5.5 and below. The usage had been mistakenly added within a previous version of the Deployment Guide - which has been addressed (for more details see "[Satellite] cobbler buildiso fails with 'Required file not found' error'".
