i did this on my setup sometime back.. cobbler is 0.4.7 on a centos 4.4 
i386 box and delme is a mounted centos5 dvd iso. Also a RPM upgrade 
ought to '/etc/init.d/cobbler_syslogd stop' and it no longer is supposed 
to exist post upgrade.

cobbler import --mirror=delme --name=centos5_x86_64

While the rest worked as expected, i thought this ought minor warning be 
brought to your attention..

/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos5_x86_64/repodata/comps.xml
