Will fix the RPM, thanks.   The proper fix is probably just to chmod the
cobbler_hosts file +r and leave the rest as is.

Looks like something I mucked up :)

cobbler import will pick the kernel/initrd from the "os/images/pxe" 
directory for
TFTP installs.   If you used "cobbler import" and your distro/profile 
didn't contain
the word "Xen" in it, that's the one you are using.   The Xen pair 
definitely
probably won't work.    If those don't work, the NIC is probably the 
issue -- though
I would kind of expect them to be simulating something relatively 
standard.    Could be wrong :)
