Probably you are accidentaly loading the 64 bit kernel and or initrd instead of the 32 bit one. <div class="gmail_quote">On May 24, 2012 6:22 AM, "Bill Gunter" <<a href="mailto:bill.gunter@ni.com">bill.gunter@ni.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> According to the GUI there's no universal default key. However, any key I attach to the kickstart profile to set a specific base channel is rejected with the error below unless it matches the architecture of one specific channel. i.e. if I kickstart with RHEL 5 x86_64 autoreg works fine without any additional key. However, kickstarting with RHEL 5 i386 fails the autoreg with a "bad architecture" no matter if I attach another key or not. Manual reg using any key I wish works fine. It's like there's a hidden universal default key that wants to set the base channel to RHEL 5 x86_64. -- Bill Gunter, RHCSA | Unix Administrator | National Instruments Ireland | <a href="mailto:bill.gunter@ni.com" target="_blank">bill.gunter@ni.com</a> | Ph:<a href="tel:%2B353%201%20247%205935" value="+35312475935" target="_blank">+353 1 247 5935</a> From: Paul Robert Marino <<a href="mailto:prmarino1@gmail.com" target="_blank">prmarino1@gmail.com</a>> To: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a> Date: 17/05/2012 16:27 Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] registration at kickstart problem Sent by: <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com" target="_blank">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a> <hr noshade> Check if its the spacewalk default key On May 17, 2012 9:48 AM, "Bill Gunter" <<a href="mailto:bill.gunter@ni.com" target="_blank">bill.gunter@ni.com</a>> wrote: I recently upgraded to v1.7 postgres (from 1.0 Oracle XE via an Oracle RAC instance, yikes!) and I'm having a problem with registration at kickstart time.

The same thing also happens with an i386 version of the RHEL 5 channel.

How can I see what the other key (1-fc84976370b02471f58a0ec16c31ed70) points to?
