[Bug 841726] [NEW] Unable to netboot with dhcpd managed by cobbler

[James Page]

Public bug reported:

cobbler manages the isc-dhcp-server instance that run alongside it in my
test deployment; prior to upgrade to oneiric it was able to manage
/etc/dhcp/dhpcd.conf fine - however now when cobbler generates this file
using 'cobbler sync' I always get a gpxe filename rather than
pxelinux.0:

# group for Cobbler DHCP tag: default
group {
    host mercury.shouse.local {
        hardware ethernet <HIDDEN>;
        fixed-address <HIDDEN>;
        option host-name "<HIDDEN>";
        filename "gpxe/menu.gpxe";
        next-server <HIDDEN>;
    }
}

use_gpxe is set to 0 in /etc/cobbler/settings so this is a little
inexpected.

Workaround: fix filename to "pxelinux.0" in /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
