has someone found a way to install FV guest with cobbler it s really a blocking bug
Created attachment 389103 [details] patch for XEN FV domains provisioning with python-virtinst ver.0.400 The problem is RHEL 5.4 use python-virtinst version 0.400 which have some classes rearranged. I've made a quick patch for koan 1.6.6 which is attached here.
koan is a sub-package of cobbler
