Note: only packages available in your Enterprise Linux install tree should be specified here. To install packages available in Spacewalk software channels, please associate an appropriate activation key with this kickstart profile in the Activation Keys tab. ill have to find the appropriate manual/doc for that. regards, Jason On 09/01/10 13:30, Jason Welsh wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:4C7E8D9C.6000500@monsterjam.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> looking in my logs, when this happens, I see.

You should have one base channel (rhel server) and multiple child channels with 'rhel server' as the parent. The structure should be similar to rhel server (parent) -> rhel cluster storage (child) -> rhel cluster suite (child) -> rhel virtualization (child) -> rhn tools (child) Hope this helps CC </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">ok, i have redone my channel tree to what you suggested and resetup the kickstart distro and profiles, and the good news is that I see the repos now being added into the kickstart file when I view the kickstart file in spacewalk. i see them as repo --name=rhel-cluster-suite .... repo --name=rhel-virtualization... repo --name=cusom-stuff .... btw, these still show up under "child channels" instead of "repositories". And I have all those "child channels" selected under "operating system". Im not sure if thats right or not.. but anyway, when I try to use my custom @groupname to install certain rpm groups in the kickstart, I get an error message for each one during the kickstart saying that theyre not available.. thanks/regards, Jason _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list</a> </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> </pre> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- ================================================ | Jason Welsh <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:jason@monsterjam.org">jason@monsterjam.org</a> | | <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://monsterjam.org">http://monsterjam.org</a> DSS PGP: 0x5E30CC98 | | gpg key: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://monsterjam.org/gpg/">http://monsterjam.org/gpg/</a> | ================================================ </pre> </body> </html>
