[et-mgmt-tools] Patches for cobbler and koan (for cobbler 0.9x)

[Pablo Iranzo Gómez]

	Hi
	I've seen that Koan puts kickstart inside the initrd.img and
references it as file:ks.cfg, but I don't know the reason for this.

	In order to enable auto-registration (based on
pxelinux.cfg/defaults entries), the ks should we changed by this diff on
koan/app.py:


--------------------------------------------------------------------

@@ -782,7 +779,7 @@ class Koan:
             if not os.path.exists("/sbin/grubby"):
                 raise InfoException, "grubby is not installed"
             k_args =
self.safe_load(profile_data,'kernel_options',default='')
-            k_args = k_args + " ks=file:ks.cfg"
+            k_args = k_args + " ks=" + profile_data["kickstart"]

             kickstart = self.safe_load(profile_data,'kickstart')

--------------------------------------------------------------------

	So the ks= would be constructed with the cobbler-provided ks

	Regards
	Pablo
