Description of problem: Adding system named "default" no longer suppresses the PXE menu Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cobbler.noarch-2.0.11-2.fc14 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete all systems 2. Add system named "default" with some profile 3. PXE boot (I'm using a KVM VM and thus gPXE) Actual results: Get a menu showing "local" plus all of the profiles, which then goes to the default "local", which doesn't do anything useful. Expected results: Directly install the profile associated with system "default" Additional info:
Hmmm, I should mention that after the initial failure, I did the following "just to be sure": cobbler sync system cobblerd restart cobbler sync system cobblerd restart Still no joy
This would seem to be a weird side-effect rather than a feature that was broken. Adding a flag/setting to disable the generation of the default menu would probably be better. In the meantime, profiles have the option --enable-menu which prevents that profile from showing up in the default list. If you set that to 0 for all of your profiles, your default menu item will be empty except for the localboot option. I'm going to go ahead and close this as a non-bug, if you'd like to request a feature to disable generation of the PXE default file, please do so on the github issue tracker: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues
