Cobbler has never required syslinux, and as far as I can remember would always fail if you did not either install syslinux and/or use the get-loaders command to download the optional PXE loaders. This may be fixed in a future version (there are quite a few optional packages that are not directly required), however it's hardly a show-stopper in terms of functionality. |
Description of problem: When running cobbler sync with cobbler 2.2, it fails with Exception value: 'Could not find files matching /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -q cobbler cobbler-2.2.1-1.el6.noarch How reproducible: Deterministic. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install cobbler, start the service. 2. Run cobbler sync. Actual results: # cobbler sync task started: 2012-04-27_024227_sync task started (id=Sync, time=Fri Apr 27 02:42:27 2012) running pre-sync triggers cleaning trees removing: /var/lib/tftpboot/grub/images copying bootloaders Exception occured: <class 'cexceptions.CX'> Exception value: 'Could not find files matching /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0' Exception Info: File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/remote.py", line 93, in run rc = self._run(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/remote.py", line 188, in runner return self.remote.api.sync(self.options.get("verbose",False),logger=self.logger) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/api.py", line 701, in sync return sync.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/action_sync.py", line 114, in run self.tftpd.sync(self.verbose) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/modules/manage_in_tftpd.py", line 163, in sync self.pxegen.copy_bootloaders() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/pxegen.py", line 101, in copy_bootloaders dst, api=self.api, cache=False, logger=self.logger) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/cobbler/utils.py", line 1237, in copyfile_pattern raise CX(_("Could not find files matching %s") % pattern) !!! TASK FAILED !!! Expected results: No error. Additional info: Installing the syslinux package seems to fix the problem. With bug 813206, bug 816596, and now this one, isn't it time to revert to cobbler 2.0 in EPEL ASAP? It looks like the rebase to new version was not tested at all.
