This error appears to be due to something in the config files themselves 
confusing the YAML deserializer.   If you can tar up and send me 
/var/lib/cobbler/* off list, I'll check it out.   I actually only need 
/var/lib/cobbler/{settings|repos|profiles|distros|systems} so you can 
skip the other files if you like.

Also it would be helpful to know if this was a clean install or an upgrade.
