[et-mgmt-tools] Cobbler install/kickstart question

[Peter Wright]

I've run into this issue before.  Check your 
/etc/cobbler/dhcp.template.  I've had my local version get moved to 
dhcp.template.rpmsave, and cobbler will install the default one.  If you 
define a custom subnet for example, dhcp will refuse to start (cobbler 
defaults to 192.168.1/24).

/var/log/messages should show you why dhcpd is failing to start as well.
