I have the same problem here, with trying to boot rescue-f12-x86_64, imported via cobbler import from an rsync download of F12. Here's what dumpvars says about it:

If you run cobbler distro report --name="distroname" for whatever profile you're getting into trouble with, you'll likely see an empty Kickstart Metadata hash. It *should* look something like this:
Name : rhel-5.3-i386
Architecture : i386
Breed : redhat
Comment : rhel5.3
Initrd : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/rhel-5.3/images/pxeboot/initrd.img

In Wes' case this is the result of a missing call to Distro.setKsMeta() in the Java code he used to create the distribution. Going to close the bug as I'm pretty certain we found the problem but feel free to re-open it that still doesn't work Wes.
As for your case Trevor I'm not sure what's going on, but checkout your distro's report and see what's in there for the tree. Feel free to post back here even if it's a separate issue and we'll see if we can sort it out.
The tree is empty. Actually, the value for ks metadata is empty. Its just '{}':

Not sure if it is related or not, but there isn't a link in /var/www/cobbler/links/ that should point to this distro. I've lost the exact command I used to import from my history, but I'm 99% sure it was simply "sudo cobbler import --name=f12 --arch=x86_64 --path=rsync://path/to/rsync/mirror". I immediately tried to boot the rescue-f12-x86_64 profile after the import was done, which is when I discovered the problem.
Hi Trevor, I tried an import exactly as you specified and cannot reproduce the issue, the distro gets it's kickstart metadata as expected. Can you try to reproduce and see if you can isolate how it's happening? I reproduced it and it seems that 'fedora12' was simply missing from /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/codes.py Adding it fixes everything. However this isn't in the latest cobbler available. Ah yes that has popped up a few times on the list. Will be fixed in next release. Cheers. |
