Hi

Information on ovirt.org is about old node, from oVirt 4.0 we have NextGeneration Node (NGN). I don't  use cobbler, but for PXE I can provide what worked for me. 

Take iso from: http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer/, unpack it ( simple mount -o loop; cp -r ):

pxelinux.cfg/ovirt-node.menu:

...

LABEL ovirt NGN

        KERNEL http://websrv/your_unpacked_iso/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz

        APPEND initrd=http://websrv/your_unpacked_iso/images/pxeboot/initrd.img inst.stage2=http://websrv/your_unpacked_iso/ inst.ks=http://websrv/your_unpacked_iso/my.ks

        ipappend 2

Kickstart file to automate a lot of tasks for me "my.ks":

​​install

lang en_US.UTF-8

keyboard us

rootpw  --plaintext 123

network --bootproto=dhcp

timezone --utc Europe/Prague

firewall --service=ssh

liveimg --url=http://websrv/your_unpacked_iso/ovirt-node-ng-image.squashfs.img

# partitioning - nuke and start fresh

zerombr

clearpart --all --initlabel

autopart --type=thinp

bootloader --location=mbr

reboot

%post --erroronfail

imgbase layout --init

%end

Basically liveimg --url ... & autopart & %post part should be enough for interactive install.

I hope I made it at least a little bit clearer.

I've been wondering the same.  In particular, I use cobbler for system
provisioning, so would love to have some details to help me implement
this.
