Tom,

I've applied Al Tobey's --autonet patch to koan upstream.

This seems like it will fix your problem for profile based reinstalls, 
because it will add in the IP info on the kernel command line based on 
what you are currently using.

Might be worth checking out.   You should be able to use koan 0.6.4 from 
git with your existing Cobbler install.
