Help with Cobbler 2.7.0 (from github) and EXSi5.5
by Razi Khaja
I'm running Centos 6.5 and Cobbler 2.7.0 checked out from github:
[root@ops ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
[root@ops ~]# cobbler version
Cobbler 2.7.0
source: c5a7bb2, Sun Apr 27 00:24:56 2014 +0200
build time: Sat Apr 26 19:28:28 2014
My cobbler installation is able to successfully pxe boot systems on which I
install CentoOS 6.5, so I know that it is working, but I am having
difficulty with gpxe booting esxi5.5.
I have successfully imported the ESXi5.5
iso: VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.5.0-1331820.x86_64.iso
I have installed the packages for gpxe, however, when I boot the machine on
which I want to install ESXi5.5, I get the following error:
> Loading operating system
> Configuration error while parsing /boot.cfg
> Fatal error: 15 (Not found)
Below is the distro report:
> [root@ops ~]# cobbler distro report --name=vmware-5.5-x86_64
> Name : vmware-5.5-x86_64
> Architecture : x86_64

I have already read previous similar posts for previous versions of esxi5,
but did not find those helpful:

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Re: [cobbler] cobber web api 502 error

my 'cobbler check' report:
[root@localhost conf]# cobbler check
The following are potential configuration items that you may want to fix:
1 : some network boot-loaders are missing from /var/lib/cobbler/loaders, you may run 'cobbler get-loaders' to download them, or, if you only want to handle x86/x86_64 netbooting, you may ensure that you have installed a *recent* version of the syslinux package installed and can ignore this message entirely. Files in this directory, should you want to support all architectures, should include pxelinux.0, menu.c32, elilo.efi, and yaboot. The 'cobbler get-loaders' command is the easiest way to resolve these requirements.
Restart cobblerd and then run 'cobbler sync' to apply changes.
Then how can I do, please help me.

unable to see cobbler pxe menu
by Zulkifal Ahmad
Hi List, I dont know if anyone has posted this before., but I setted up a cobbler server on CentOS65 and the command cobbler check gives no error. created a distro,profile and added a system but when I network boot the system to be installed it goes to this balck screen where it shows the client ip, dhcp /cobbler server ip MAC address of client machine and wait there without proceeding forward. At this point I dont know how to troubleshoot , what is wrong with my configuration to see that menu screen,where I can select my profile. Any help is highly appreciated.
