Michael,
I was importing from an existing local tree (copied from the CD set)
using;
cobbler import --name=RHEL44-x86-64
--mirror=/var/www/html/pub/yum/4AS/x86-64/up4
Where "/var/www/html/pub/yum/4AS/x86-64/up4" is the root directory of
the installation tree.
Looks like you didn't need to take as many steps.
cobbler import --name=RHEL4u4 --mirror=/mnt/cdrom
or ...
losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/rhel4u4.iso
mount /dev/loop0 /tmp/loop0
cobbler import --name=RHEL4u4 /tmp/loop0
umount /dev/loop0
losetup -d /dev/loop0
Cobbler will add in the arch information to the name of the distro
object automatically, so leaving off the x86_64 is ok.
If you've copied it yourself, cobbler probably can't automagically
figure out the directory structure.
Thanks for the help, cobbler still rules.
Dan.

using cobbler to import an existing x86-64 distro tree but when I do a

I can use "cobbler distro add" and explicitly state the arch but this
leaves the distro tree in place and I was hoping to import all my
kickstart trees to be managed by cobbler.
Any clues?
This shouldn't happen, but it won't cause any adverse results... what
distro source were you using for the import? (i.e. RHEL 4 DVD? rsync
mirror?). If you can
give me further info I'll take a look at see what's wrong with the
auto-detection.
Cobbler uses the arch field to decide when to set up for different
bootloaders, such as "ia64" implying elilo. It doesn't pay attention
to the difference between
x86 and x86_64 as it uses syslinux either way.
If you want to fix it, you can run:
cobbler distro edit --name=foo --arch=x86_64
--Michael
Cheers
