Hi
I have been 'improving' my kix and starting to use templating and using
variables e.g
I use snippets in the network config and that looks like this
# cat /var/lib/cobbler/snippets/network_select
network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --onboot=on --ip=$ip_address
--netmask=$netmask --gateway=$gateway --nameserver=$nameserver
--hostname=$hostname
and to build a machine i do something like this
# cat buildbox.sh
#!/bin/sh
cobbler system add --name=$1 --mac=$2 --ksmeta="ip_address=$3
netmask=255.255.255.0 hostname=$4 nameserver=192.168.10.4 gateway=$5"
--profile=$6
I would then do something like the following to build a box
# ./buildbox.sh 00:0C:29:71:D7:4D 192.168.10.25 foobar 192.168.10.1
CentOS-4.5-i386
These will build fine - but here is the issue.
When i use koan to rebuild the box using the same profile then
everything is fine eg
# koan -r -s build-server
Now if i try to rebuild to a different profile that is available on the
server e.g
# koan -p CentOS-4.4-i386 -r -s build-server
the kix details appear correct but on reboot the install stops on the IP
configuration screen, ie waiting for manual input
Has anyone else seen this or know of workarounds? If i manually put
network into into the ks.cfg then the rebuild works as expected?
thanks
