Hi Dhawal,

I was on 0.4.2.  An upgrade to 0.4.3 fixed the problem:

[root at hemops2 ~]# rpm -Uvh
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/cobbler-0.4.3-0.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:cobbler                ########################################### [100%]
[root at hemops2 ~]# cobbler distro add --name=centos44
--kernel=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/centos-4.4-i386/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
--initrd=/var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/centos-4.4-i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
[root at hemops2 ~]# cobbler list
Distros:
   centos44
Repos:
   centos-4.4-i386

Thanks.
