Hi,
I've been spending quite a bit of time with cobbler lately and have
run into two very small issues. First, running cobbler sync with
manage_dhcp: 1 set drops an empty dhcpd.conf directory in the PWD.
Good catch... this apparently came across in the move back to Cheetah
for templating. I'll commit and push the fix.

Second, I have two configuration changes I need made to
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default. These have to do with NIC ordering and
a doc I found here:
http://linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/nic-enum-whitepaper-v2.pdf
There, it suggests making two changes to the pxe configuration, adding
the following lines:
IPAPPEND 2
APPEND ksdevice=bootif
I put a config file called default.pxe in /etc/cobbler and run cobbler
sync but I see a vanilla default file in
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default.
Kickstart parameters can be managed with a cobbler profile or even on
specific systems or distros.
"cobbler profile add ... --kopts="ksdevice=bootif otheroption=blah etc
etc foo etc"
The vanilla cobbler "default" file in recent versions now is used for
PXE menus. If you would like to use a specific profile as a default
profile instead, you can do the following:
cobbler system add --name=default
--profile=name-of-profile-to-use-as-default
If you have a kernel option you would like to use on every single
cobbler profile you have, you can also add that kernel option to
/var/lib/cobbler/settings and it will automagically appear on every
profile and system. (run "cobbler sync" to apply changes)
Thanks.
