This one's pretty easy.   Add the full path to the RPM of 'koan' to 
koan_path in /var/lib/cobbler/settings.    You can get the latest noarch 
RPM from et.redhat.com.   (Don't put it in your cobbler web directory, 
just anywhere on the filesystem is fine.   /var/lib/cobbler/koan*.rpm 
would be a good choice).

Then run "cobbler sync" to make sure cobbler copies the koan RPM to the 
right place. 

Looks like I need to improve that error message some to make that clearer.
