Hi List,
I've attempted to follow the instructions for setting up Cobbler to
support kickstarting virtual (xen) installs. I'm invoking the
kickstart via the "ks" alias, defined as follows:
alias ks='koan --virt --profile=centos5virt --server=172.16.16.1'
Here's a look at the setup:
[root@mosxato ~]# cobbler list
distro centos5-i386
distro centos5-i386-xen
profile centos5virt
system default
repo centos4-i386
repo centos5-i386
[root@mosxato ~]# ip addr show dev eth0

Can anyone see what I have done wrong? The only part I'm not too sure
about is the 172.16.x.x network I've setup via iproute2. It seems
right but its been a while. I just need a rfc1918 address space to
create the VMs.
Thanks.

Try --nogfx parameter to koan.
I would speculate they are not hanging, but the xen console is cutting
off in favor of VNC at this point in the install.
It would be nice if both worked simulatenously though it doesn't work
like that.
