Here are the steps I followed: $cobbler import --mirror=/rhel5 --name=C5 The directory /rhel5 has the contents of 6 discs of rhel in one directory. This is the error I got: - no comps file found: /var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/C5/repodata/comps.xml Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 502, in main BootCLI(sys.argv).run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 102, in run self.curry_args(self.args[1:], self.commands['toplevel']) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 418, in curry_args commands[args[0]](args[1:]) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 312, in import_tree return self.apply_args(args,commands,on_ok) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 406, in apply_args on_ok() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 311, in <lambda> on_ok = lambda: go_import() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 304, in go_import self.temp_mirror_name) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/api.py", line 152, in import_tree return importer.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_import.py", line 82, in run self.guess_kickstarts() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_import.py", line 139, in guess_kickstarts results = self.scan_rpm_filename(rpm) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/action_import.py", line 186, in scan_rpm_filename major = int(major) ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 5Server Even though with this error: [root@69 ~]# koan --server=69.90.xxx.yyy --list-profile listing defined profiles... C5 C5-xen The above output seems to be ok. So here are my questions: A. Why does the above mentioned error happen ? B.
