<blockquote type="cite">OK. Something is definitely missing here.
Notice how
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.redhat.com/magazine/024oct06/features/kickstart/">http://www.redhat.com/magazine/024oct06/features/kickstart/</a>) GRUB
contains options for setting the IP address, netmask, and gateway for
the system you intend to boot. These arguments are /*not*/ set in
/your/ grub configuration. As to why they are not, either you didn't
specify them during your cobbler system provisioning OR there is some
kind of a bug in koan's 'reprovision' logic. Likely the former.
Please double check that you specified
<br>
<br>
cobbler .... --ip=X --subnet=Y --gateway=Z ...
<br>
<br>
in your provision command.

OK... good. If you could try to do so, please reprovision your system
with the following amendment:<br>
<ul>
<li>cobbler ... --kopts='ip=10.xxx.xxx.19 netmask=255.255.254.0
gateway=10.xxx.xxx.253 dns=10.xxx.xxx.117' ...</li>
</ul>
Resync and see if the new grub file installed after koaning looks the
part.<br>
