<div dir="ltr">Hi, I’m using a combination of Pulp and Cobbler for deployment of CentOS Linux environments as follows: PXE boot via Cobbler (version 2.6.7-1) on CentOS 7.1- initrd loaded via TFTP (managed by Cobbler)- kernel loaded via TFTP (managed by Cobbler)- Kickstart loaded via HTTP (generated by Cobbler)o URL for installation points to a Pulp repo Load root squashfs via HTTP - repo managed by Pulp (version 2.6.2-1) This was all working perfectly in CentOS 7.1 (the first repo I deployed in Pulp). Likewise 6.5 worked perfectly too when I created and sync’d the repo. When I created a new rpm repo for 7.2 however, I can no longer boot into the 7.1 installer. It fatally terminates the installer when setting up the new filesystems due to an xfs error, which (when investigated further) was caused by the loaded kernel (from 7.1 - 3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64) being different to the kernel the 7.2 squashed-rootfs installation environment was built against (3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64). As it turns out, Pulp symbolically links the kernel, initrd and LiveOS data for minor releases to the Linux major release.Is there a way to disable the symbolic linking of these distro files, so that when I reference the 7.1 URL in a kickstart I can load the 7.1 squashed-rootfs? I need to be able to boot installers for both 7.1 and 7.2 using the Pulp repo (as well as future 7.3 etc).
