Why

Cobbler's per-MAC gPXE script passed inst.ks.sendmac, so anaconda sent its interface MACs as X-RHN-Provisioning-MAC-N headers when fetching the kickstart. bootapi's iPXE script omitted it, so the boot script was not a full drop-in for Cobbler's gpxe output.

Changes

  • Emit inst.ks.sendmac immediately before inst.ks= in the embedded boot iPXE template, matching Cobbler ordering.
  • Assert the arg is present in the rendered catalog iPXE test.

Companion change in bootapi-templates (the git-synced source of truth).

Cobbler's per-MAC gPXE script passed inst.ks.sendmac, making anaconda send
its interface MACs as X-RHN-Provisioning-MAC-N headers when fetching the
kickstart. bootapi's iPXE script omitted it, so the boot script was not a
