[et-mgmt-tools] cobbler-1.0.1-2 - build problem using koan

[Tom Brown]

Hi

I cant use DHCP yet in my prd environment but i can use koan so i can 
have cobbler rebuild existing hosts.

I have setup a cobbler server and added a test system to that but i 
encounter an issue when i try and build using koan in that after the 
client reboots and boots the 'kick' kernel it seems unable to get the 
kickstart as it starts to ask me which ethernet card to use and also 
then tries to do a DHCP request.

If i hit the URL that generates the kickstart it seems fine and the 
network part looks like this apart from the xxxxxx and the 
'cobbler.server' hostname

# Use network installation
url --url=http://cobbler.server/cblr/links/RHEL4-u5-i386
# Network information
network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --onboot=on --ip=10.xxx.xxx.19  
--netmask=255.255.254.0 --gateway=10.xxx.xxx.253 
--nameserver=10.xxx.xxx.117 --hostname=xxxxxxxx

In the grub config on the client before i reboot i see this

title kick1214906905
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz ro root=LABEL=/ 
ks=http://cobbler.server/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/xxxxxxxx
    initrd /initrd.img

and the 'cobbler.server' can be resolved from the client using the 
correct nameserver -

Does anyone have any ideas whats going on as i am stuck?

thanks
