Cobbler cobbler-0.8.0-1.el5 not importing 64bit RHEL 4.6 properly

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am having a very strange problem importing a RHEL 4 update 6 x86_64 dvd iso into cobbler. The issue is that even though it is a 64bit RHEL OS it will import it as i386 and create a xen profile that also is i386.
 
Some details of the system:
 
 
Server is RHEL 5.1 system, 64bit Version
2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen Kernel
Cobbler from EL5 EPEL repository online. cobbler-0.8.0-1.el5
 
 
 
I will mount the DVD iso onto /mnt, then issue the following command:
cobbler import --mirror=/mnt/ --name=RHEL4.6-64bit
 
 
then after a while the following output occurs, (concerns are in bold text)

is there any way I can force cobbler to acknowledge that it is indeed a 64 bit OS that is being imported? is this a "Bug" or a "feature"? I only ask this because I have a 32bit RHEL 4.6 import done as well as a RHEL 5.1 32 bit and 64 bit import done successfully. It just seems strange that cobbler would default a 4u6 import as 32 bit without checking it or failing to check it, thats all.
 
 
-- thanks!
