I have a cobbler 1.4.1 installation, and recently a kickstart failed. Looking at the http://my.host/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/sapcps kickstart file, I find this line: network --hostname=sapcps.mydomain --bootproto=static --netmask=255.255.254.0 --ip=$ip_address --gateway=192.168.62.40 --device=eth0 --onboot=on The source line in /etc/cobbler/sample.ks is: network --hostname=${hostname} --bootproto=static --netmask=255.255.254.0 --ip=$ip_address --gateway=$gateway --device=eth0 --onboot=on $hostname and $gateway are expanded; $ip_address is not. These values come from /var/lib/cobbler/config/system.d/sapcps: --- comment: '' ctime: 0 depth: 2 gateway: '192.168.62.40' hostname: sapcps.mydomain image: '' interfaces: eth0: bonding: '' bonding_master: '' bonding_opts: '' dhcp_tag: '' dns_name: sapcps.mydomain ip_address: '192.168.62.184' mac_address: '00:21:5E:40:9F:64' static: True static_routes: [] subnet: '255.255.254.0' virt_bridge: '' kernel_options: gateway: '192.168.62.40' ip_address: '192.168.62.184' ip: '192.168.62.184' netmask: '255.255.254.0' kernel_options_post: {} kickstart: <<inherit>> ks_meta: {} mgmt_classes: [] mtime: 0 name: sapcps name_servers: <<inherit>> netboot_enabled: True owners: - admin parent: '' power_address: '' power_id: '' power_pass: '' power_type: ipmitool power_user: '' profile: Redhat4x64-x86_64 redhat_management_key: <<inherit>> server: <<inherit>> template_files: {} uid: MTIzNjM2MjM5MS45MTc4NTk5NzUuNDkyOQ virt_bridge: <<inherit>> virt_cpus: <<inherit>> virt_file_size: <<inherit>> virt_path: <<inherit>> virt_ram: <<inherit>> virt_type: <<inherit>> What am I missing?
