[Spacewalk-list] RHEL4 Kickstart Problems

[Andy Speagle]

Hi Team,

Has anyone been able to successfully kickstart a RHEL4 server from
Spacewalk?  I'm running into a couple of problems that have me
confounded.

1)  It seems that the URL for the initial Cobbler kickstart file is
being truncated when passed to anaconda.

The original URL which is passed on the kernel boot line as:

http://<server>/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/rhel-i386-server-4-8-default:1:Spacewalk-Public-Cert

Is being truncated to:

http://<server>/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/rhel-i386-server-4-8-

Which seems to stop the entire process and Anaconda starts asking me
questions, since it can't get this file.

2)  If I continue with the install manually, just for grins, and pass it
the URL that I would expect to use:

http://<server>/ks/dist/rhel-i386-server-4-8

It complains about:

"error mounting /dev/loop0 on /mnt/runtime"

Has anyone seen this... can clue me in... anything?

Thanks,
