Okay thanks for your answer.
So you can confirm spacewalk 1.7 provisioning does work with centos 6.3 in a 64bit environment?

I've kickstarted several Cent 6.3 servers from my spacewalk install, so I can at the very least let you know it does work. Where are you seeing it rely on up2date?

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] spacewalk 1.7 provisioning centos 6.3
Hello,
while configuring spacewalk 1.7 on centos 6.3 a problem occurred at centos 6.3 provisioning. 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?
There the paste of the automatic generated spacewalk kickstart config:
# Kickstart config file generated by Spacewalk Config Management # Profile Label : Centos6_x64-test # Date Created : Thu Sep 20 17:21:13 CEST 2012
