Harry,
you are right that Anaconda is running only over HTTP, but it is not
limited to port 80. It is totally ok to run for example over port 81. I
did it successfully many times without Cobbler. The problem is that
Cobbler creates wrong kernel option syslog if you set "server" in file
settings to server with port. It would not even work if you put "server:
'x.x.x.x:80'. Cobbler is simply adding the syslog_port setting to the
kernel option. So it happens that the generated pxelinux.cfg contains:
syslog=x.x.x.x:81:25150
or
syslog=x.x.x.x:80:25150
if you set port number to "server" variable and it should alway generate
syslog=x.x.x.x:25150
Cobbler should replace the port number and not add a new one to it.
So I really believe that it is problem of Cobbler and not Anaconda.
Anaconda could improve the error message and add the syslog paramer to
output. I reported that also to Centos bug tracker:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2463
Sincerely,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Just read the bug report... You may actually want to file this against
anaconda and not cobbler.
I don't think anaconda will work with anything other than port 80
(standard http).
I say this because there was some recent discussion on the kickstart
list about trying to kickstart over SSL and that is not supported.
It would be nice to have though :-)
Cheers,
Harry

Harry,
files are attached.
Cobbler version is 0.602.
The error message looks strange for me and maybe it is not related to
cobbler.
I am not able now to try to install directly from CDROM, because I am
far away from that server, so I am not able to exclude cobbler as the
reason of this problem.
I have cobbler imported via mirror
cobbler repo add --name=centos-i386-3.9
--mirror=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/3.9/os/i386/
cobbler repo add --name=centos-i386-4.5
--mirror=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/4.5/os/i386/
cobbler repo add --name=centos-i386-5.0
--mirror=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.0/os/i386/
cobbler repo add --name=centos-i386-3.9-updates
--mirror=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/3.9/updates/i386/
cobbler repo add --name=centos-i386-4.5-updates
--mirror=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/4.5/updates/i386/
cobbler repo add --name=centos-i386-5.0-updates
--mirror=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.0/updates/i386/
Seems to have worked fine. I did do it previously from DVDs and CDroms.
