Hi Michael, Thanks for all the help so far. I've deleted the "default" system and now I think I'm running into a timeout issue or something similar. I'm looking at a hung boot process and no prompt at which to enter "menu". Part of the problem is that I'm doing this all over serial console (the systems are in London, I'm in California). Are there any peculiarities you are aware of with respect to serial console and PXE menu booting? I know I have set this up manually prior to being introduced to cobbler. The thing is, I'm somewhat stuck unless I take your suggestion and starting adding systems by MAC address which I'd like to avoid in favor of the menu approach. Thanks. -D _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
