<div>I spoke with a user in the spacewalk irc channel who believed he had found this problem and found a fix on the mail lists, I'm watching to catch up with him to confim, while, in the mean time I'm going to post some logs in a seperate mail after this to
the list for analysis.</div>

<div>Hi Matt,
<div> I'm not sure I have anything helpful for you, but I'm particularly interested in problem 1. I've been getting similar issues. One question I have for you is whether you've included gpg keys for Spacewalk-2010 and EPEL in your kickstart file. Without
these keys, I think some post-install package installs will fail, which may be part of the puzzle. </div>
<div> Anyway, if you make any progress, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know.</div>

<div>>Problem 1.) I think this is the root a few of the problems. I kickstart a machine, it as an activation key that >subscribes it to 4 software channels and 4 config channels. The kickstart process finishes and the client reboots, >in the spacewalk web interface
I can see the machine as a registered client. I can see it subscribed to the 4 >software channels correctly in the web interface, it's entitlemtns are management, monitoring and provisioning, in >the configuration menu, I can see it's subscribed to the correct
for config channels. The issue is that none of the 4 >config channels have deployed the files. If I do a "rhn_check" on the client, I get the following error</div>

<div>>the spacewalk server is reachable, I can see the client in the webui, I can search the repos on the spacewalk >server from the client using yum, I don't know why it's giving a 500 error, and in reference to what.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To add a little more meat on the bones to this thanks to some help on irc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>if I tail the catalina.out log on the server and try to do an rhn_check on the client, the log doesn't get updated, which I'd expect something as the server is responding with a 500 error.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I can also communicate with the server from the client well, eg: I can do an rhn-channels --list, I can install a package from the server on on the client with yum, the spacewalk ui shows the client checking in, eg: registered at 12:21, checked in at 12:51,
so there is valid comms there, if I do an rhn_register I'm told (rightly so) that the server is already registered, so what could be causing the error 500 on the rhn_check ? I suspect this is the same issue as the config files not being able to be deployed.</div>
