Description Stephen Herr 2014-09-04 20:08:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
Add cobbler and other support so that you can create profiles / systems / distributions to provision and pxe boot aarch64 systems.
Comment 1 Stephen Herr 2014-09-04 20:29:30 UTC 
This should be resolved in Spacewalk master commit:
cdf350539f712d2e950307ba467195bb11cfed8c

For PXE booting you must have:
1) installed cobbler-loaders-1.0.3 on your spacewalk system
2) all the normal caviots about having tftpd and xinetd running
3) configured your dhcp server such that for the aarch64 systems they get a "next-server" reference to your Spacewalk server and a "filename" of "aarch64/bootaa64.efi" (not "pxelinux.0" as is common for x86_64 systems)
Comment 2 Stephen Herr 2014-09-05 16:16:36 UTC
