Ah, simple then.
It sounds like you've assigned your IP's and network info to system
objects, and are passing a /profile/ name to koan, perhaps?
This means that the profile object itself has no idea what those
variables should be.
Try passing in the system instead, or optionally use a DHCP kickstart
for profile based deployments. (Using Cheetah games, if you like,
you can detect that the ip isn't set and fall back to DHCP... though
I'm not sure if you want that. I'm throwing it out there though).
to install a box i 'add a system' yes and this is given network
information and all works fine. On the reinstall using koan i pass the
-p <profilename> so that the box gets rebuilt to a different profile,
ie in my case different OS version. Is that what you suspect i'm doing
and is that 'wrong' ?
Yes, it's wrong because your kickstart is missing IP and MAC information
that is present when it's used on a per-system basis ... if you look in
/var/www/cobbler/kickstarts I suspect you'll see there are still variables
in the kickstart files. If you compare that with the files in
/var/www/cobbler/kickstart_sys, you'll see that the variables that
correspond to the system object are filled in.
# koan --replace-self --system=name_goes_here
will make you use the system-specific kickstart, as opposed to the
profile specific-kickstart.
