[Spacewalk-list] systems registers as localhost.localdomain

[Wojtak, Greg (Superfly)]

I didn't realize you could do that.  What are the parameters to set for the various pieces of network information?  (hostname, ip address, netmask, gateway, dns settings?)

The mac address of the initial network card needs to be registered and mapped to the hostname.
Alternitively you can hit the tab button on the isolinux boot menu and add the hostname paramiter to the boot options. I always do that when I'm provisioning a new box with a generic profile.

I am using cobbler to manage dhcp.  How/where do I ensure that a reservation is made?
