I found an earlier post about how to fix the script manually, but it seems that anytime I make any changes to the kickstart config in the gui, I've got to go and apply the fix again. The problem I'm referring to is the following error message when you view the kickstart file

Seems this broke with the newest cobbler.  Reverting back to an older
version fixes this.  I emailed cobbler-list:

It seems the repos in /var/cache/rhn/repodata/ had not generated
properly.  Rob was going to force generate this and see.
