Hi,<br>I have been kickstarting a number of machines from our Spacewalk 0.5 server, and I'm struggling to get Fedora 11 x86_64 going. I have created a distribution, by following <a href="https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToKickstartCobbler">https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToKickstartCobbler</a> . Mostly that seemed to work; a few oddnesses (eg, under section 1b1c the "with tools" channel did not show in the dropdown list, even though I had created it. It didn't complain when I simply gave it the parent channel).<br>
<br>Now I am stuck during my kickstart, however.<br><br>I am kickstarting by putting the ks.cfg in the isolinux ISO and mountinng a CDROM. All good. Then, the Kickstart proceeds until I see an error message...<br><br> Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: VT. Please verify its path and try again.<br>
<br>...Where does it get this "VT"? It must populate /var/satellite/distro-trees for a working Kickstartable channel, because I see<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ls /var/satellite/distro-trees</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ks-rhel-x86_64-server-5 ks-rhel-x86_64-server-5-u2 repos</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ks-rhel-x86_64-server-5-u1 ks-rhel-x86_64-server-5-u3</span><br>
<br><br>...but note there's no Fedora11 in there. How do I get my Fedora 11 to be recognized? Thanks.<br><br>At this point there does not seem to be a running Linux that will allow me to jump to another console and observe any more detailed error messages... :-(<br clear="all">
