Did you create a Distribution on your Spacewalk server and relate it to your profile? I believe that is how Spacewalk/Cobbler knows where to pull the RPM's from.

All clients that failed installing packages defined to activation keys are in the same subnet with restricted internet access (need a HTTP proxy there). After some network packet sniffing I discovered that these clients are trying to establish a HTTP connection to <a href="http://ftp.scientificlinux.org" target="_blank">ftp.scientificlinux.org</a>. All clients do that. Clients with internet access download the packages from the HTTP yum repositories instead of using the Spacewalk server's software channels. Setting enabled=0 in all .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d solves this problem after the installation, but I didn't find a good solution for the kickstart process. The problem: rhn_check is called before the post scripts run. The files to modify aren't in place when pre scripts run. So my workaround is to write a pre installation script, which adds some commands to /tmp/ks.cfg just before rhn_check. These commands modify the .repo-files and disable these yum repos. This is a dirty hack. This can't be intended behaviour. Is there anything I missed in kickstart profile configuration?
