Description Stephen Herr 2013-07-10 20:14:39 UTC
In Satellite 5.6 we need to tell people to ensure that a 'cobbler-loaders' rpm is installed as part of the setup for getting PXE installations to work.

Specifically (looking at the 5.5 Getting started guide: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.5/pdf/Getting_Started_Guide/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite-5.5-Getting_Started_Guide-en-US.pdf ) in Procedure 2.6 on page 16 there needs to be a new step between steps 2 and 3, maybe something like:

3) On the Satellite ensure that the cobbler-loaders rpm is installed and the latest version by running "yum install cobbler-loaders". This ensures that the pxelinux.0 boot image is installed and available on the Satellite.

Verified:

The latest cobbler-loaders package needs to be installed. This is to ensure that the pxelinux.0 boot image is installed and available on the Satellite before PXE booting. To install the latest version:

# yum install cobbler-loaders

Closing this bug out. Please open a new bug, if there is further issues/concerns with the Satellite Documentation.
