Can you try with cobbler 2.6.7 from updates-testing? You might also run: cobbler signature update to update the distro signatures. Yes, that avoided the original issue. However, it introduced a new constraint on where kickstart files can be located: cobbler profile edit --name=f21-i386 --kickstart=/home/tim/ksF21.ks --virt-type=qemu --virt-ram=1024 --virt-bridge=vmbridge exception on server: 'Invalid kickstart template file location /home/tim/ksF21.ks, it is not inside /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/' which I don't think is covered in the documentation (the example at http://bit.ly/1JHBd8I explicitly has a kickstart file on /opt). See https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues/939 for why this was changed. This was supposed to get into 2.6.3, but may have not made it in fully until 2.6.7. We'll see what we can do about fixing up the docs. cobbler-2.6.7-1.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-0039/cobbler-2.6.7-1.fc21 cobbler-2.6.7-3.el7 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 7. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cobbler-2.6.7-3.el7 cobbler-2.6.7-3.fc22 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 22. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cobbler-2.6.7-3.fc22 cobbler-2.6.7-3.fc21 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 21. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cobbler-2.6.7-3.fc21 Package cobbler-2.6.7-3.el7: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora EPEL 7 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=epel-testing cobbler-2.6.7-3.el7' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2015-6064/cobbler-2.6.7-3.el7 then log in and leave karma (feedback). I've just done a clean install of fedora 21 64 bit onto an existing physical computer, imported the f21 distro from dvd and got the same Kernel Options for the distro. When I tested the fix, above, it was with an existing cobbler set up (I just updated the rpm). This time, did a clean install. However, it could also be that the Kernel Options are meant to be there and overwritten later in the process (but they do look a bit odd). Using koan on the clean install fails as before, so it may be that 2.6.7-3 does not fix the problem. Annoyingly I don't have the resources to easily build a minimal failing test. cobbler-2.6.7-3.fc22 has been pushed to the Fedora 22 stable repository.

Description of problem: When a distro is imported from the Fedora-Server-DVD-i386-21.iso image, a distro is created, but profiles and systems derived from it have bogus kernel_options, which cause the initial launch to drop into a dracut shell, if you try to launch them Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iso, as above, cobbler: cobbler-2.6.6-1.fc21.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mkdir /mnt/stub 2. mount Fedora-Server-DVD-i386-21.iso /mnt/stub 3. cobbler import --path=/mnt/stub --name=f21 --arch=i386 4. cobbler distro report --name f21-i386 Actual results: Name : f21-i386 Architecture : i386 TFTP Boot Files : {} Breed : redhat Comment : Fetchable Files : {} Initrd : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/f21-i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img Kernel : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/f21-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz Kernel Options : {'repo': '$tree'} Kernel Options (Post Install) : {} Kickstart Metadata : {'tree': 'http://@@http_server@@/cblr/links/f21-i386'} Management Classes : [] OS Version : fedora21 Owners : ['admin'] Red Hat Management Key : <<inherit>> Red Hat Management Server : <<inherit>> Template Files : {} Expected results: Name : f21-i386 Architecture : i386 TFTP Boot Files : {} Breed : redhat Comment : Fetchable Files : {} Initrd : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/f21-i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img Kernel : /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/f21-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz Kernel Options : {} Kernel Options (Post Install) : {} Kickstart Metadata : {'tree': 'http://@@http_server@@/cblr/links/f21-i386'} Management Classes : [] OS Version : fedora21 Owners : ['admin'] Red Hat Management Key : <<inherit>> Red Hat Management Server : <<inherit>> Template Files : {} Additional info: Derived vms from this distro and launched with koan, produce this: '--extra-args=ksdevice=link repo=$tree lang= text ks=http://172.17.1.6/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/trial1 kssendmac ' the repo=$tree, breaks virt-install (after the patches to get that to work with f21 have been applied) a simple workaround is: cobbler distro edit --name=f21-i386 --kopts=""
