You've got the 0.8-client items installed, what about "python-dmidecode" from the EPEL distro? A quick test on the newly built server, execute "rhnreg_ks" and see if it complains about that missing package. I added "python-dmidecode" in the Software -> Package Groups section of the kickstart once I made my locally sync'd copy of the EPEL channel available to my kickstart in order to get it to install prior to the snippet execution and have my server register to my Spacewalk. The kickstart its self should be automatically executing the kickstart snippet named "rhn_register" (look for the line that says something like "#begin Red Hat management server registration"). - Jonathan <div class="gmail_quote">2010/4/30 Frédéric SOSSON <<a href="mailto:fsosson@gmail.com">fsosson@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> I misunderstood you... so I've created a sub channel containing <a href="http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/" target="_blank">http://spacewalk.redhat.com/yum/</a> client RPMs. My question is: How telling kickstart file to configure the target machine to use my spacewalk? regards, Frédéric 2010/4/30 Frédéric SOSSON <<a href="mailto:fsosson@gmail.com">fsosson@gmail.com</a>>: <div><div></div><div class="h5">> Thanks for you help.
