[Spacewalk-list] Error While Kickstarting

[Manuel Carrillo]

Hello,

Have you put on your channel configuration :

Yum Repository Checksum Type sha1

for centos5 or RHEL5 you need to put this option and not the default
like SHA256

and i think you need to resync your channel with your repo (via
spacewalk gui). 

If you are using a dedicated local repo on other server (and spacewalk
are synchronise to it). You need to do that on the local repository :

/usr/bin/createrepo --checksum sha <path-of-your-repo-centos5-or-rhel5>
