First off, I really like the design of Cobbler and Koan. I especially like the kickstart templates and the flexibility that the templates give you. The only problem is that I am having trouble with the issue below and would appreciate any kind of help. I have a Centos 5 system that I have setup as a Xen host. I have setup the EPEL repository and used it to install Cobbler version 0.4.8-1,along with koan 0.4.0-1. I have successfully used the tutorial at http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/cobbler-import.php with a few modifications to build a Xen guest using the default profile for Centos 5 that is created when you import from the Centos 5 DVD. When I attempt to build from a system definition that I have built from the default profile I get the below error. I have started to dig through the code, but would like some direction in debugging the problem and maybe a push in the right direction on what might be wrong.
