[Spacewalk-list] Cobbler kickstarting in a Static IP setting

I am using the Cobbler boot ISO disk created using "cobbler buildiso". What I keep having issues with is that when I use any of the pre/post scripts in https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2012-March/msg00198.html, I get "Internal Server Error" in the Spacewalk interface when I try to view the kickstart file. Also, in the cobbler logs (/var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log), I see the following error:

Not sure what is causing this, as I thought #raw fragments are supposed to work.

How are you doing your install?
Are you pointing to you spacewalk server at boot command?
Example boot: linux ks=http://1.2.3.4/ks/cdf/org/1/mode/IP of your new system you are trying to build
This is assuming your configuration on your spacewalk server is already complete

Hello,

Thanks. That worked like a charm now. Must be one of the settings in my Wizard that caused it to fail before.

Anyways, I sporadically keep getting "Internal Server Error" when I make a change to some portions of the pre/post scripts. I think in the backend the system auto-adds #raw and #end raw tags in wrong places which is causing these errors. Have you seen these?

Thanks,
Prakash
