I have rebuilt the box cobbler lives on and this appears to have come
back.  I did repopulate the new setup with old files from
/var/lib/cobbler & /etc/cobbler :-)

When cobbler expands $insert_cobbler_system_definitions I get 2 host
generic entries which still have the invalid entry.  How best can I fix
this?

Thanks,
Kevin
