Well, finally I got to try my cobbler koan setup on a physical client and it worked with charm (had to adjust the kickstart a little to get a fully un-attended installation). So I configured two profiles now one helps in creating virtual machines on the same cobbler server and another one helps in creating new physical machines. But then also the problem mentioned earlier remains.
<br>I am not able to install a new virtual machine via vmware. Do I need to create a new separate profile for vmware .<br><br>Thanks for all help. <br><br>Regards<br>SysAdmin<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/31/07,

Thanks for the quick reply once again. I did append ramdisk_size=8192 or ramdisk_size=16438 but it didn't helped. Same error once again. One more thing to tell you is that I am trying to install the client via VMware in windows. Does this situation creates this error?

</a><br><br>You do not appear to have a ramdisk_size=8192 OR ramdisk_size=16438 in<br>your 'append' line of '/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default'. Maybe (just<br>maybe) that is the cause of the this problem..<br>
