[Spacewalk-list] Can't register a client with spacewalk 1.0

Tue May 4 18:03:32 UTC 2010

I am experiencing the same problem on all my clients.

Spacewalk Server:
CentOS 5.4 32-bit
Linux <myserver.mydomain.com> 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 17
11:37:14 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I upgraded from 0.8 to 1.0 following:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgrade

Spacewalk Client:
CentOS 5.4 32-bit
Linux <myclient.mydomain.com> 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 17
11:37:14 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I updated /etc/yum.repos.d/spacewalk-config.repo to match the RHEL5 1.0
repository, and did a "yum install rhn-setup yum-rhn-plugin
python-dmidecode"

Registration command:
/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks -vvv --force --serverUrl=http://
myserver.mydomain.com /XMLRPC --activationkey=<mykey>

Output:
