I guess it is caused by the generated kickstart config and the ongoing installation procedure that relies on up2date which is not shipped with centos 6.3 anymore. Setup: Spacewalk Server Centos 6.3 x64 minimal Spacewalk 1.7 postgreSQL We Configured Spacewalk 1.7 and created a Software Channel, added a Repo and created a kickstart profile which is published via http. Our client machine initiates the installation over PXE-boot and retrieves the Centos6.3 base install image from cobbler. The automatic generated kickstart file does not work with centos 6.3 even though we selected the correct distribution. Are there know issues/incompatibilities with centos 6.3? does anyone know when 6.3 will be fully supported or how to fix the described issue?
