[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk + Kickstart getting started questions

[visinix the great]

Thanks for the links, I got a good portion of the way done and it seemingly
is working and ready to go. My problem comes in that I'm trying to do a
kick start over network, and I referenced the link you passed my way...

https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Build%20Iso

So I have run 'cobbler buildiso' and 'cobbler buildiso
--profile=centos-6-x86_64' but both of the isos it generates, fails to
include vmlinuz which is causing my xenserver to complain when I try to
boot with this media.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there more manual intervention on my part
that I am missing?

Thanks,
Charlie
